This log will be mirrored at BB.com and Avant.
My goal while reviewing SesaLean was to replace olive oil for all my cooking needs.
Color: Gold with slight orangish tint, darker than olive oil.
Taste: Slight tang but uncooked it has little to know taste on my tounge.
Smell: Strong nutty aroma
Viscosity: Compared to extra virgin olive oil it my be slightly more viscous, coating the pan was as easy.
Test Usage: My first test was cooking up my Invalid Link Removed. I have made this 2 times a week for about 2 months now so I am able to judge any variences pretty easy. I used 2 servings (1 tbsp) in the pan and was able to coat the whole pan and 1" up the sides with ease in a 14" diameter pan. While cooking it began to coagulate around the chicken. Everything else was exactly the same although around the 6 minute mark the excess water from the chicken begins to evaporate and the chicken starts to brown quickly, this did not happen until 9 minutes. The next day I ate all three servings at work. The taste was interesting to say the least. It had a VERY strong metallic taste, I am not sure if it enhaced the flavor of bell pepper or what but I was still able to eat it.
Next was replacing the OO I use in the Invalid Link Removed. This is cooked in a 9x11 glass pan. Mixed exactly the same in the hot water, rice, seasoning and sauce. Smell when pulling out of the oven, even over the spices, was nutty. Later that day at work I had my first try. Again I had that same metalic taste in my mouth, not as strong but this rules out it being related to anything being cooked in the pan.
I have and LOVE it over my oats with protein powder. It enhances the flavor of it all and exhibits a more pronounced nutty flavor when mixed. It's a treat every morning. Same with shakes.
At home in the fridge I have 3 chicken breast marinating with SesaLean and red wine vinegar. I normally use hazelnut. These will be tossed on the grill and I will then be putting them on fresh spinich and making a salad dressing with some black pepper, SesaLean and RWV. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Update: I have now used SesaLean extensively in all my cooking. I for some reason I always have a slight metallic taste with all my meals. I am sure I am an exception because I haven't seen anyone else report this oddity. I will add that I used it in a recent creation with a summer sausage and a peeled and sliced sweet potato chopped up and browned/fried in a pan and it was excellent! Bettern than olive oil with the exception of a slight metallic taste. 2 times now I have used SesaLean along with red wine vinager for a marinade left for 24 hours. I have not noticed a metallic taste while grilling. It is however more bland than when I use olive oil. I then slice the chicken breast and use SesaLean along with RWV over spinach with a little bit of cracked pepper and it's damn good.
I love using it on my morning oatmeal and in my shakes before bed time. I love the taste uncooked.
Weight: I started at the original posting date at 174. Last night I weighed in at 169. This could be due to the fact I had my calories to low from the cut I was on and now with the increase I have restarted fat mobilization or it's the Sesalean. I am currently trying to bulk and find that I am losing weight taking in 3200 calories a day. I have never used SesaThin before but if I can expect this type of loss on SesaThin, I am definately going to be using it durring my next cut.
