Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

99% of reviews talk about meat grinders. I dont have a meat grinder. I needed something to lubricate the O rings on my syringe type meat injector that is stainless steel and industrial grade. This Petro-Gel is fantastic for that application. I also have a cheaper plastic Walmart meat injector and I used the Petro-Gel on that this cheapo injector as well. Worked GREAT!!! This is a great product and considering the price, I could not be happier. Shipping VERY fast. Thanks for a great product at a resonable price!!!

If your kitchen appliance has interior moving parts, like my Phillips Saeco Espresso Machine, you may need to lubricate it periodically. This get is food grade and does the job. There are no instructions with this: look to your appliance documentation for this. I think it may also be a good lubricant for exterior fittings, like the slip on paddle for my mixer that has gotten sticky. A toothpick of wooden skewer is handy to get the get into tight places.

it worked great for drive gears on the meat slicer were it may come in contact with blade and food...

I was so thrilled when I ran into this Gel for my meat slicer. Works perfectly. This tube will last me a good bit of time.

I bought it to lube our espresso machines brew group, but Ive also been able to use this for other kitchen products. I think it would be a good all-round lube around the house, since its a plant-derivative and doesnt stain like oil. The tube provides more product than Ill ever use!

The product description and the tube label both say this is a white food-grade grease suitable for areas of minor food contact. I am using it on a Chefs Choice food slicer and it seems to be doing a good job. My only complaint is that the grease is clear in color (like petroleum jelly) not white as indicated. This makes it a bit harder to determine where I need to reapply grease after cleaning the slicer.

I bought this to lube up the O-rings on 5-gallon corny kegs I use for homebrew, instead of the standard

Disliked the fact the tube was pretty well beat up, but no leaks. Probably was damaged somewhere along the chain from manufacturer to Seller. Glad though its intact and I have some lube for my electric meat slicer gears.

I was looking for some lubricant for our kitchen faucet as I have run out of the little tubes that come with some repair kits. I didnt want to get a container because I prefer not to stick or drop anthing in and have contamination. Figure I get a large tube that can be useful for a variety of applications. Squeeze out whats needed, the rest inside stays clean. This lubricant is labeled Sanitary Petrol-Gel Lubricant. The tube states it is WHITE but its really just CLEAR. The tube claims its absolutely tasteless and odorless. I can confirm it is odorless, the tasteless part...Ill let you determine that. On the back of the tube, helpful hints on uses; valves, pistons, O rings, gaskets, sanitary pumps, glides, slide mechanisms. Also states for Food Plant use. As well as the disclaimer - where contact with food is only incidental. Im sure that is requested by the lawyers to mean dont go expecting to use this as oil to cook your favorite food. There are times when 4 ounces dont sound like much, like in a bag of candy or a drink but in this case, 4 oz looks to appear enough for 4 generations of families or 40 generations, if you dont lose it or misplace it first. Oh, and on a final note, I dont know if this is also THAT kind of lubricant if you know what I mean. Not that I have tested or anything, just throwing that out there in case anyone thinks I wonder if.... On a final final note. Getting back to being serious. This is a lot of lube. Look at a typical tootpaste about the same quantity and imagine each use of the lubricant is 1/2 a pea size or so and most likely anything you lube will not require daily lubing. I wished it was sold in a smaller quantity such as 1 oz, even that would be quite a lot. This 4 oz is approx. 1 1/2 diameter at the top end (not the neck), flat width on the bottom is 2, and the length is 5 3/4. EDIT 6/13/13: Ok, originally I gave the lube 4 STARS, now I am revising it to 2 STARS. Heres why. I have so far used it on a few applications but on the O rings in my kitchen faucet and as far as I can tell, it appears to feel like it isnt properly lubing the rings. Swinging the faucet left and right, feels slow with more resistance than I would like, the kind of feeling that makes it feel like it could do with some lubing, except it was lubed with this lube. Whats Im going to do is pick up something at the local hardware chain and compare it.

This is a good grade lubricant. I have an electric food slicer that periodically needs to be lubricated. This is a product that was recommened to me by a food service worker. It is a thick, pasty gel that is waterproof, so you dont need to apply it every time you wash your blade. Youll get many uses out of a single use. Depending on how often you use the appliance in question, it will wear off, or eventually you will want to wash it off and put a fresh coat on. It washes with mild soap and water. You dont necessarily only have to use it for food handling equipment, it will lubricate anything.
