Coconut oil for cooking

[mcgaret]

Just picked some up. Been hearing good things about it. Since it gets solid I always thought it was too high
in saturated fat. Any one use? How? Any feedback pro or con?

My wife cooks with it all the time and we love it. It can be used in place of butter or non stick spray. It's good for pan frying chicken, pork chops, or fish. I'll even melt a couple of tablespoons and put it in my shakes. The benefits of coconut oil are too numerous to mention. You'll defenitely benefit from adding it too your diet.

Does not form harmful by-products when heated to normal cooking temperature like other vegetable oils do. My mother love it and has found to cook in coconut oil. It helps prevent obesity and overweight problems.

Not that I know of, but that's something I never looked into either.
