Measuring Melted Coconut Oil
Measuring melted Coconut Oil is best done after the Coconut Oil has cooled slightly, if you’ve heated it to melt it. Coconut Oil is solid at 76° F or below. Unless your recipe specifies otherwise, melt the approximate amount of Coconut Oil needed, then let the melted oil cool before measuring it out exactly.
There are many uses for Coconut Oil when cooking or baking—both in its solid or liquid form.

Hi Shannon. The melted coconut oil should be cool to the touch, but not solidified.

Thank you for this.
Just a question, if you melt it and wait till it’s slighly cooled – how long will that be or how do you know? I am making brownies and it says melted coconut oil so I want to ensure I do it properly.

I already melted it and dumped it in the mixing bowl before I realized measuring before melting might not work….so how different are they??

Yes, coconut oil can flux between a liquid and a solid depending on temperature but it’s safe to use in either state. Hope this helps!

I am new to using coconut oil. I have one bottle in my living room and bedroom and a larger jar in my kitchen. The one in my kitchen was put in our cabinet next to the hot water tank. When I went to use it, it had liquefied. I popped it in the fridge for a few minutes to get it to solidify. I moved it to another cabinet and it stayed fairly solid. I went to use it last night it was almost liquid again. Is this typical? Also, is it still safe to use? Please answer this very soon.
Thank you.
