What do you guys use the coconut oil for? The only think I used it for was to make BP coffee.
For all my frying, I use butter.

Last few months we switched from butter to coconut oil for frying \ cooking. It goes a lot further than butter and has a much higher smoking point - If I crank up the gas hob for frying steak, the butter can sometimes turn black whereas coconut oil takes the heat.

Plus, @ R50/litre, coconut oil cheaper than butter per kg

thanks.

I'll still use butter for my eggs though... butter is just better, when it comes to eggs :D

Interesting.

Have you ever tried making a bechamel sauce with the coconut oil instead of butter?
 
So - apologies if I'm stating the obvious as I haven't followed the entire thread, but I tried the Banting Bread premix from Dischem

Man its gross. Terrible funny aftertaste. This was my first Banting loaf attempt. Any idea what tasted so awful in it so I can avoid that ingredient in the future?

However - looked good just before I took it out the oven - like a real loaf - pity it sank right down while it cooled
And it doesn't "toast"

I've got 2 other recipes to try next week

Unless anyone can give me a heads-up with what not to waste time on?

Was the loaf flaxseed based, did it have flaxseed as the main ingredient?

These low carb breads look like normal bread but dont taste similar at all.

I think you should buy almond flour and try to make bread with it. Almond flour has the closet texture to conventional bread and taste pretty good.

.... it was probably the flaxseed. I tasted that twice and haven't touched it since. I use almond and coconut flour for breads only now, much better.
