Coconut Oil

[blunomore]

Have you ever cooked with it and if so, what is your verdict, also as opposed to e.g. olive oil?

Thanks

Erm, do people actually use coconut oil as a lubricant as opposed to a cooking ingredient in certain dishes?

The only thing coconut oil is good for is getting your skin soft.

I have never used it although I would guess it is mainly used in thai cooking? Not a fan of the taste of thai food though.

I have cooked with it in the past.. No spectacular difference in flavor in general cooking. The smoke point is basically the same as olive oil so again no big difference in stir frying. It did give the stir fry a nice bit of flavor.

Overall nothing special. Used the bottle I bought and promptly forgot about it.

Apparently.

I guess so.

I am interested in finding out how healthy it is as opposed to the other oils.

I use it all the time, love it! Have the big bucket from millbrook. There are some links to other sites on that page. On the topic of fats, I highly recommend: Know Your Fats : The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol

I use Peanut oil for frying stuff at high heat and olive oil at medium heat.

Its filled with electrolytes, extremely good for you! May I also suggest cooking in Soyoil, its cholesterol-free and high in polyunsaturated fat.

Don't the sugars in coconut oil caremelise causing issues with sticking, etc?

People who choose to cook with coconut oil will be doing it for the reason that there is virtually no polyunsaturated fat! So the two are not comparable.
