About Coconut Oil
If the recipe requests melted coconut oil, melt gently and let it cool as directed before measuring. A fixed mass stays the same on melting, but the volume and how it fills a cup can change.
The recipe may rely on solid fat for texture. Do not melt oil that is meant to be used solid simply to fit this conversion. Refined and virgin coconut oils also differ in flavour.
Tips for measuring Coconut Oil
- Check the required solid or melted state first.
- Avoid adding hot oil directly to eggs.
Common mistakes
- Assuming equal cups of solid chunks and melted oil weigh the same.
