CareBear Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I ran out of vegetable oil tonight when I was making dinner, and was tempted ot use come of the coconut oil I have for my B&B stuff. Any reason you know of that I couldn't have (I didn't)? I got it from From Nature with Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_deb Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I don't see why not. Coconut with beta carotene added is what everyone uses for those big popcorn machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just keeps the temps low, as coconut smokes sooner than normal oils.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsami3000x Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 My sister once told me it's suppose to help you lose weight. http://www.coconutoil.com/ You can eat it or cook with it I mean.from the jar of virgin coconut oil i got in the organic section of the grocery store: for body care, place jar in warm water to liquify. Massage into skin or apply to hair for one hour the rinse.this oil is best for sauteing or stir-fry over medium high heat or because of its neutral flavor for baking.nutrition facts: 1 tablespoon = 120 calories14g fat 12 of those saturated I've also heard of people just eating a tablespoon of it straight Sami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
