Coconut oil can be used in cooking, health, and beauty products.If you live in a warm place, coconut oil will be ready to use at any time, as it will already be in liquid form.If you live in a cold climate, you can easily melt coconut oil using hot water, a microwave, or a stovetop.
Step 1: Place hot water in the sink.
If you want to melt a whole jar at once, this method is useful.The container needs to be completely submerged by the water if the sink is full.If the whole sink is too big to fill up, you could use a bucket.
Step 2: The coconut oil should be placed in the water.
The lid needs to be tight.The oil won't melt evenly if the water is higher than the jar's lid.Put something heavy on top of the container if it floats.The coconut oil can be kept submerged in the hot water with a plate.
Step 3: After 90 seconds, remove the container from the sink.
It will take between 1 and 2 minutes for the oil to fully melt.Measure out the amount of liquid coconut oil you need by drying off the container with a tea towel.If the temperature is below 76F, coconut oil will solidify again.
Step 4: Scoop coconut oil out of the jar with a spoon.
Use a spoon to remove coconut oil from the container.Pack this in a measuring cup or spoon to get an accurate measurement.If the coconut oil is very brittle, use a small amount of it and rub it across the surface.The paste will be made from the oil that has been removed.
Step 5: The coconut oil should be put in a microwave-safe dish.
The coconut oil should be put in the measuring cup or spoon.Keeping your microwave clean will be aided by using a lid on the dish.
Step 6: The coconut oil should be in the microwave for a while.
The best way to melt coconut oil is with a microwave.It takes 45 seconds to melt a cup of coconut oil in the microwave.It will take a certain amount of time for coconut oil to melt in your microwave.If you want the coconut oil to melt evenly, give it a stir between the 10-second intervals.
Step 7: Take the amount of coconut oil you need into account.
To determine the amount of coconut oil you need, use a measuring spoon or cup.Similar to flour or other baking products, pack the coconut oil down and smooth the edges when being measured to get the most precise amount.An ice cube tray is useful if you use coconut oil frequently.You can distribute coconut oil across an ice cube tray.If you want to use small portions of the coconut oil, keep it refrigerated until it is solid again.
Step 8: For 2 minutes, heat the coconut oil on the stove.
You can stir the coconut oil in a small pot.If you want to use the same pot for cooking with coconut oil once it has melted, you should use this.You can heat coconut oil with a frying pan.If you are going to make pancakes or fry chicken, this is helpful.
Step 9: When coconut oil is clear, remove it from the heat.
The coconut oil is ready to use.If you accidentally melted too much, it will solidify again.
