Can this coconut oil be used at temps 375 degrees F and higher?

Sorry, I don't use the oil for cooking at high temperatures. It is a quality product and I would recommend going to Nutiva website for specs. They are a reputable company.

I believe for coconut oil to be classified as "virgin" or "unrefined" it can be processed up to 280 farenheit. So to answer your question; yes, you can cook with it at 375 or higher, but you will loose some light-ends by evaporation. What you are left with will still be good, organic, healthy coconut oil. It will just be thicker.

It is an oil, an odorless coconut oil. But it does harden however at 76 degrees and less as it is cold pressed

It will take the highest heat that any organic oil will handle...has a nice coconut fragrance when frying. hope this will help you.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

I use this Coconut oil in my soap making:) I love it and the melting point is 76 degree's:) Hope this help's!!

This is Coconut oil. It is an oil. When it is cold, it will solidify, and at warm temperatures (76 degrees) will melt and be an oily liquid. (think of how olive oil does this too) This is really a very nice product that has many uses.

I use a vegetable base oil to mix with thieves or it cab burn your skin. Never tried coconut oil.

This is definitely refined. A easy giveaway is the packaging - coconut oil is solid and only liquifies at 76 degrees or greater which is why it's sold in jars not bottles. I prefer to buy the huge jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil that way it has multiple uses and there's no degradation in the effectiveness.

I wasn't sure of the temperature range and decided to experiment. I made snickerdoodles (those wonderful mouthfuls of cinnamon-sugary deliciousness) with half butter and half virgin unrefined coconut oil. I baked them at 400 degrees and they turned out great! I guess 400 degrees for baking isn't too high.

~ I don't think so, if it was it would be visible through water separatiion when looking at it in the liquid form, such as when oil does not mix with water. ~ Coconut oil burns at a lower temperature than regular vegetable oil temperature because of it's less dense viscosity.

No. Coconut oil is a solid unless it is over 76 degrees. This has the same properties as the more expensive oils I had been purchasing in the past. We have had great experiences using Snappy. It is in our foods, rubbed on skin, fed to our dogs who have "yeast" problems... It's also fabulous to pop popcorn on the stove! Light and fluffy every time.

The risk would be to the glass lids at higher temps. I have used them without incident up to 375 degrees.

It is absolutely safe till 550F - I have used with peanut oil to fry turkey. No problem at all. Plus I can use a temperature that does not burn my oil. Love it!!

I have used them in my oven. I did not go over 375 degree's. I love them. I have every size.

Coconut oil's texture will depend on the temperature where you have it. As someone already noted, it is liquid above about 76 degrees, but solid below that. In Chicago mine is solid and white in winter, but clear and liquid in summer.

I wouldn't use either type of coconut oil in the shower or sink. I use this oil to Oil Pull and spit it out in a disposable cup. Cold pressed virgin organic oil is solid at room temp but melts at 76 degrees. If you do use this fractionated coconut oil or the cold or expeller pressed type, I would run the hot water for a minute or so to make sure it doesn't build up and clog your drain.
