How 's cooking with coconut cooking oil?What food store can I buy it from and has anyone use it for frying?

Whether coconut oil burns quickly during cooking or not largely depends whether you're using a refined or unrefined oil. Refining an oil will raise its burning or smoking point. Unrefined coconut oil smokes at about 170C, while the refined oil smokes at about 230C.





Whatever oil you use, never keep reusing it for deep-frying like some street food vendors who are using practically black oil (can't imagine the amount of carcinogenic (cancer-causing) substances in it!)





Often you hear of coconut %26amp; palm oil enthusiasts %26amp; producers extolling that it's cholesterol free or low in it and hence is 'healthy'. This is obviously an attempt to pull wool over consumers' eyes as 1) any plant matter or its extract naturally has no cholesterol or only a minute trace amount since only animal fats %26amp; matter have cholesterol, therefore highlighting such a natural characteristic is superfluous, and 2) coconut oil %26amp; similarly palm oil are extremely high in saturated fats, which hardly makes them a healthy oil by any stretch of the imagination.





So, anyone who suggests that coconut oil is good for people with heart problems should really learn the facts for their own health benefit, before they end up with clogged arteries %26amp; heart diseases from over-consumption of such oils.





My advice is to use either canola or olive oil or their blends as the healthiest options. Even your generic vegetable cooking oil is way healthier than coconut %26amp; palm oils, butter, lard, ghee etc. Health is not an area in life to be penny-pinching about.How 's cooking with coconut cooking oil?What food store can I buy it from and has anyone use it for frying?

I would not recommend coconut oil to fry foods as it can burn quickly. I typically use it in baked goods in place of butter or oil in recipes. I have also used it to make scrambled eggs, but you will have to get used to the coconut flavor it adds.





My favorite use of coconut oil is on my skin. I'm so allergic to perfumes and dyes in most lotions, and either coconut oil or olive oil is all I have found that doesn't cause my skin to break out.





The best place to find it is at a Whole Foods. I don't often see it at the regular grocery store.
Ohhh its fine, I lived here in the Philippines and we usually make cooking oil from coconut, it is said that coconut oil is far in danger of cancer. It is easy to make coconut oil, the only problem is the smell...at first, it is good to the nose but about a week later, the smell will be like Virgin Coconut oil but still it is usable in cooking.

Coconut oil is not a good choice. Its high in bad fats.


Choose a good quality Olive oil and go sparingly.


Better yet try not to fry your food.
