I use it for Indian and Thai recipes. It does taste like coconut, but not strongly to my tongue.
Some like it due to the medium chain triglycerides, others hate it due to it being entirely saturated fat. YMMV. |

I'm by no means well educated about food products. I'm getting older and I feel the need to eat better and cook with healthier ingredients, if possible.
I've read various opinions on coconut oils health benefits or risks and I wasn't entirely sure what to believe. The internet is big and scary with much conflicting info. ETA: The store brand, "organic" oil I bought doesn't taste like coconut. It's a very heavy oil with no real taste. |

I'm conflicted on it honestly. Sometimes I use it for cooking other times I don't.
It makes a great personal lubricant It also does a great job protecting cast iron. Under 75 degrees it's a solid so it forms a nice protective shell over the pans. When you get them up to cool it naturally melts and gets you some oil in the pan to cook with |

I love coconut oil.
If you buy the good stuff it doesn't taste like coconut at all. |

I was visiting with some clients in Texas once and one of them made me up a thermos of bullet coffee with butter and coconut oil. Fuck me that stuff was disgusting. I had to grin and bear a few gulps to make her happy.

Is it a healthy alternative to tradition cooking oils like veg or peanut? |

I always see the big jars of coconut oil in Costco. I have not tried it but I've looked at it a few times. I'll have to get some and give it a try. Is the stuff Costco sells good?

We use coconut oil regularly. I still prefer butter and olive oil, but coconut oil has great uses.
It makes scrambled eggs pretty tasty IMHO. |

If I remember correctly, Costco is where she got her Coconut oil. She said it was good quality. She also told me about "pulling". Google that
