Step 1

The easiest way to use coconut oil si to swap it when a reciped calls for cooking oil, butter, margarine or shortening.
"Quality coconut oil has a creamy texture, a high smoke point and no flavor or odor, so it's perfect for cooking"
Other ways to get your fill:
Mix it into warm beverages, such as tea, coffee or hot chocolate; spread it on bread in place of (or along with butter); mix one part olive oil and one part coconut oil and use as a dressing (or warm the mixture, add seasonings and drizzle over rice, pasta or veggies).

Use if for frying as it does not splatter as much as other oils.
