Interchangeable in cooking? In solid form, do you measure it like shortening or butter? In liquid form, do you measure it like vegetable oil?

In solid form, measure like shortening. Liquid form, measure like vegetable oil, yes. Warning: for recipes like cake frosting, the coconut oil will cause the finished frosting to be very soft at room temperature. Refrigerate the coconut oil to get solid form, beat/whip as usual, then frost the cake, and KEEP the cake in the refrigerator.

Not completely interchangeable in cooking, due to lower melting point. Solid and liquid measure is equivalent, except for the mess factor. Best TIP ever: Line cupcake pan with papers, then pout pre-measured 1/4 c melted oil into each one & freeze. Keep most of the cups in the freezer and transfer some to refrigerator for ready baking. I did this when I got to the end of the Snappy container and it was a total mess trying to scoop it out of the bottom.

The oil comes in a solid form and melts at 76 degrees. Therefore, when you put some in your hand, it begins to melt almost immediately. You will really enjoy this stuff. Great for everything!

Yes, you can cook a smaller amount. The portion doesn't matter. It will still come out just as good.

I always use oil or butter anyway. But there is less sticking than when I use my regular stainless steel skillet.

Yes. This product can be used with measures equivalent to other flour. It is an excellent substitute.

I use olive oil when I make it on the stove or in an electric popper. Don't use a microwave popper though.

Yes. Add it to the oil before the corn. Then fake liquid butter after. Yummy.

This a 1 tablespoon spoon. We are on a restricted diet right now, trying to lose some weight. The tablespoon seems to be the most common size we use. I use it to measure out olive oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and so on. I ordered a few of these to keep them handy if my wife uses one for peanut butter and puts it in the dishwasher.

Treat this as you would butter or vegetable oil. People vary on their likes/dislikes of coconut oil, especially if it has a coconut taste. Often in cooking it tastes like butter. This blend does not have an obvious coconut taste.

I haven't done so myself and am not sure that I would advise it. It does turn into pure, liquid oil as soon as you begin to handle it. I actually use it as oil for my pop corn when I cook on the stove. Adds a great flavor! It's certainly safe to eat, but eating it alone is going to depend on what you can stomach. Good luck!

Good question. Don't tell anyone, but I use oil in my Anolon skillet and it hasn't hurt a thing. :)

This is a refined oil, I hope. I not only use in my food, I all so make soap with it. And love it. thanks Dave w.

I use to make meals in jars, such as Au Gratin potatoes, mac and cheese, muffin mixes, cake mixes and more. It has a better shelf life than putting real butter in the jars, and taste the same when cooked.

It's oil. But if u haven't tried coconut oil before, know that it is about the consistency of shortening at room temp. Any warmer than that and it turns to oil.

Coconut oil is different from other oils, in the warm months it will be liquidy and in the colder months it will turn to a solid. If you want it to stay solid, you can put it in the frig.

i agree the directions on the jar is confusing. what i would like to know is the amount of powder right into your recipe the same as making liquid ? can you use buttermilk in recipes that may not call for buttermilk such as cinnamon rolls ?
