How to melt coconut oil?

Hi there. I bought some coconut oil today and it is quite solid, kind of reminds me of hair product. I want to sauté some vegetables, mainly some peppers to go with my burgers tonight.

Do I just put the oil (Reminds me nothing of oil) in the pan, let it melt then put the veges in?

Thanks for the help.

    How To Melt Coconut Oil

  • 7 years ago

    Coconut oil will become liquid again if just placed in a warm room. As soon as you start heating it, it will liquefy. So do as you said, just heat the coconut oil, be it liquid or solid, in a pan and then add your veggies.

    Just heat it up in the pan. It'll melt, and then you can sauté your veggies.

    You can also microwave it a little bit to melt it.
