Nestof3 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 And they were perfect. Thanks to the hive member who said it could replace butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I like it on cinnamon toast, and it also males yummy cinnamon rolls. Unfortunately, I became allergic to cinnamon. :( But, I can still eat Enjoy Life chocolate chips!!! :001_smile::):001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes, I used it on toast the other day, and it was perfect. Everyone gets annoyed around here waiting for butter to soften for toast, so this is the perfect solution. I also make popcorn with it.

Then, I became allergic to corn. :( Noticing a trend here? :(. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 How do you use it? I bought a jar a few days ago but it is hard. Do you heat it before mixing it in recipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1GirlTwinBoys Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I use it to replace butter in muffin recipes and they come out really good too. I LOVE my coconut oil for so many things.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciWA Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wow! Do you use the same ratio of coconut oil to butter? And where do you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 How do you use it? I bought a jar a few days ago but it is hard. Do you heat it before mixing it in recipes? It should be the softness of shortening. Are you refrigerating it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wow! Do you use the same ratio of coconut oil to butter? And where do you buy it? Yes. I am making Snickerdoodles with it right now. I'll let you know how they turn out. I bought it at Kroger in the oil section. You can buy it at Walmart too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 It makes lovely scones, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 It should be the softness of shortening. Are you refrigerating it? No. It's been on the counter. It's the texture of candle wax. I used it for grilled cheese and it was fine but I'm not sure how to bake with it. I know you don't melt butter before cooking so I'm hesitant to do that with this as well.

You'll probably find as you start using it that it gets softer. Don't melt it first. It melts a lot faster than butter and will get soft just by mixing it. Grilled cheese, huh? I may rarely need to use butter again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS_ Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 It should be the softness of shortening. Are you refrigerating it? It really depends on how warm your house is. In summer, mine melts (I have gallon buckets of expeller pressed and virgin coconut oil in my pantry). In winter, the virgin oil is very hard, the expeller is slightly less so. My palm oil is the softness of shortening all the time, but the coconut oil varies greatly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Coconut oil is yummy in cakes, also! And for grilling chicken breasts on the stove... mmmmmm. You are all making me so envious... My kiddo developed allergies to coconut oil and we don't keep it in the house any more. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 do the cookies have a slight coconut flavor? I'm just now using more coconut oil and am LOVING it. I didn't know Walmart sold it. I need to compare prices. My favorite is a veggie sautee of thinly sliced onions and red bell pepper along with shredded zucchini. SO GOOD, but the coconut oil gives it a slight Carribean flavor, which I *LOVE*. I do detect the coconut flavor when I use it. I'm a HUGE coconut fan, though, just wondering if it changes the flavor of cookies or other baked items like scones.:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not like it in his meals, so I use expeller pressed (has no coconut flavor) for anything that's a main dish, sauteeing, frying, etc. I'll use the virgin coconut oil in baking.
