    When I first started using coconut oil the oil I bought was totally liquid, so I transferred it to a bottle with a pouring spout. The temperature in my kitchen dropped and I couldn't get the coconut oil out of the bottle!
    I almost did that, but read about its qualities before I made that final step. Coconut oil is very stable at high temperatures - which means there are no unsavory chemical changes that happens with high temp cooking with some oils (like Canola). The fat is quite good for us - and apparently there aren't many sources for that particular type of fat.

    I also want to try avocado and walnut oils - which is more expensive. Would love to find macadamia nut oil but I imagine it would be even more expensive than avocado and walnut.
