How to Make Slow Cooker Rosemary Or Basil Infused Oil

  1. Place 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary) into the slow cooker insert.
  2. If using basil, add 1 cup of fresh basil leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried basil) to the slow cooker along with the rosemary.
  3. Cook on high, uncovered, for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Then, turn the slow cooker off and let the oil steep for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Carefully pour the infused oil through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a cheesecloth or coffee filter into a clean metal bowl to remove the herbs.
  5. Once the oil is completely cool, transfer it to a clean, airtight glass jar.
  6. Refrigerate for up to 1 month. The oil may cloud slightly when chilled, but this is normal and it will clear up at room temperature. For best flavor, use within 1 month.
