MsDammit Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I dunno if it goes bad, but I ran outta oil the other nite and made some french fries with coconut oil and they tasted purdy good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I don't really think it has gone bad on you. It melts at 76 degrees and in this heatwave it's going to be liquid. If it smells good you should be fine. Mine melts in the summer also, even in the basement. Makes soaping easier.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It should be fine. Mine melts in the summer too, and re-solidifies when it's winter again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liz08 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Coconut oil becomes a liquid at 76 degrees, so that's not an indication of it having gone bad. If you want to keep it solid, then you can just keep it in your fridge, although you don't need to. However, you probably do want to keep it in more of a cool, dry place so you get the maximum shelf life possible from it. Coconut oil also has a very long shelf life (I think around 5 years or so), so you shouldn't have to worry about it for quite some time. Good luck.

CareBear Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Very long shelf life. With "normal" storage, refined coconut oil will outlive you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 OK, does the same ring true for Monoi? I've got some that's about 2 years old now. It doesn't smell rank or look funny, and it has been stored at a constant temp--but I wanted to be sure before I put it into anything. Thanks in advance! ( & sorry for hijack!)

Kitn Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If I am not sure that an oil is okay, I take a little taste, that will tell better than your nose if it is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
