lujo238 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yesterday I did a cook up of lots of different ingredients. At some point I left my coconut oil on the counter apparently too close to my stove. When I went to put it away it was completely melted. I immediately moved it to the opposite side of the kitchen and it did re-harden but my worry is that I damaged it. Is it safe to use or do I need to toss it and buy more?

GFChris Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Melted coconut oil is fine. In the summer months, my coconut oil rarely stays solid - you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Coconut oil is very stable, so melting and rehardening is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thank goodness for this thread! I've never used coconut oil until doing a whole 30 (on day 11 right now - yay!) When I bought my coconut oil a few weeks ago it was a liquid in the jar. A few days ago it started forming little clumps which was slightly concerning, then yesterday morning I come into the kitchen and it's a solid! Then went grocery shopping and I noticed the jars on the shelf were now solid too. Now you've helped me to understand it's the temp. We've had high heat these past few weeks but its cooling down... Phew - thought I had a bad batch of coconut oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I live in the tropics. My coconut oil is liquid all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
