Coconut Oil is Great for Cooking With
Coconut oil contains saturated fat and because of that, you can cook safely with it at high temperatures.Researchers say that fats and oils with a smoke point below 392 °F (200 °C) release volatile aldehydes which can be toxic. Research also shows that polyunsaturated oils are more harmful to cook with than oils rich in saturated fatty acids.
For deep frying, use refined coconut oil as this has a higher smoke point. You can also use it for baking – In fact, it can be used in almost all recipes instead of butter, oils, and other fats.
