 Is there any temporary substitute for food grade grease to grease the bottom pin in my manual extractor?

FGMO aka Food Grade Mineral Oil is one option.

I belive I read vaseline can be used, I know it is used for chaped lips.

Do a search on it.

Doggonit Bee-Bop, I don't know why I didn't, usually do. I will use Crisco as Michael Bush has previously suggested this weekend. Yes, vaseline was also suggested,but, I like that greasy fried stuff. :-D
