Yes, you can cook with it and I have used it. It gave a nice light coconut flavor to chichen.

No this is a beauty product with vitamin E, but some of the brands that you can use for cooking are Nutiva, Garden of Life, Natures Way, Carrington Farms, and by the way Natures Way makes a liquid coconut oil

I'm pretty certain it is 100% coconut oil so I imagine it could be used for cooking.

While the label just talks about how to use it as a lotion, it does also state that it is "food grade," so I imagine you can cook with it. As for the other ingredient, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is naturally found in foods like egg yolk and leafy veggies, so it can be consumed too (there's only 0.5% included in this - it's 99.5% coconut oil).

I don't use it for cooking, but I have heard of people using it for that purpose.

Sorry I don't know. I was not impressed with the product so I don't use it. I think u would be better off with coconut oil.

I haven't baked with coconut oil; I've fried eggs, and they are delicious. I've also fried veggies battered in egg and almond flour. I highly recommend! I've read that refined coconut oil tolerates heat differently than unrefined coconut oil.

DO NOT USE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR COOKING!!!!!essential oils are highly concentrated for aromatherapy, cosmetic, and medicinal use. they can not be used in place of culinary oils or extracts. If you are looking for food safe oils to use in recipeis please consider a brand like LorAnn specifically made for culinary use. If you were to try to replace a recognized culinary oil or extract (keep in mind extracts are not as concentrated as oils) with an essential oil you run the risk of making you or someone else sick at worst and making your food inedible at best.

From what I have read, I suppose it wouldn't hurt you, however it would be a lot more palatable with something. My experience with this brand is that it has considerable coconut flavor, so if you dont care for coconut, be warned. For cooking purposes, I will be looking for another brand.

just like any other oil, I use it to fry fish, cook rice, use it in salads and for sauteing veggies. This oil from Trader Joe's is perfect because the taste is not too strong, I also like to use it with curry. Coconut oil is very healthy, you just need to enjoy the taste. It can also be used on your hair and skin. enjoy!

Believe it or not, this is a tough question. I do NOT taste the flavor of coconut when used for cooking. The only thing I actually "fry" is salmon and stir fry veges. My sister, on the other hand, does not agree. She does not care for the taste when used for frying. If and when I do notice, I prefer it over just about the taste of ANY other oil out there. Hope this helps.

can you cook with this oil? Like when fry eggs, etc (pan fry, not deep fry) I never had MCT oil before...

Do you mean for baking cakes, etc. or for baking meats, etc.? I use it for everything that usually asks for olive oil. I know olive oil is good for you but I find the taste too strong (especially if it's extra virgin). I also use it for frying - even though I usually do not do a lot of frying, I use the avocado oil because you can fry at a very high temperature (unlike olive oil). I haven't tried it for baking sweets yet but if the recipe calls for vegetable or canola oil, I don't see why you can't replace it with the avocado oil.

This product is raw. You can use the oil as is as a supplement or the oil can be used for cooking.

It is great for baking and sauteing, but anything at a high temp requires a different oil. E.g., I use grapeseed if I roast veggies.

ive not actually used it yet, the company that sells this product states on their website (beprepared.com) this is intended for baking or as an ingredient in whatever you are cooking. I mixed some up and tasted it, it tastes like butter, but never has the consistency of butter. I dont think you could use this for frying an egg or something though, not oily enough.

If you mean for cooking or for health benefits, I would say that it should be able to be used for such. It says it's pure unrefined organic coconut oil. But, while searching for organic coconut oil on Amazon, this claims that it's $0.05 per ounce. It's a 15oz jar, so that means it should cost $0.75, and it's not. It's $12.75. So... you may want to more fully research this item before you purchase. That's my $0.02.

I use raw coconut oil nightly, and especially right after my peel. LOVE it and its cheap!

i'm sorry i can't answer that question because the popcorn coconut oil was given as a gift, but i can tell you last time i talked about how much they loved it, they are going through quite fast since december. besides popcorn use you can use this for cooking too in pan other then using cooking oils. hope that helps you think whether or not it will expire before using it all?...

I don't use it at all. I got my money back and threw it away because I had an allergic reaction to it. Now I just use coconut oil and it works beautifully.

I keep several on hand. I love to take the oil off the top (do not mix) and use the hard coconut meat in my muffin mixes and toppings. I use a fork to scrape it into chunks. Really yummy.
