Walnut oil, given enough time, cures completely and will not transfer
to foods from an item it was used on.
OK, this allergy thing is really a pet peeve of mine. We cannot
protect everyone from every single possible adverse reaction. As far
as I see it, my only responsibility towards this is to provide a list
of ingredients. After that, it is up to somebody to decide whether
they can eat it or not.
I'll continue to use my walnut oil and cook with all sorts of things,
including nuts. Just as I accommodate vegetarians (who are the bane
of my existence as a cook) by not including meat in everything, I
also don't put nuts in everything either. I provide a number of
choices for people at a meal and they have the option of choosing
what they want and what they don't.
