Here are some incredible ways in which you can use coconut oil.

Cooking and Baking

Coconut oil is primarily used in the kitchen. Use it for anything you want – from egg frying to making popcorn and baking delicious cakes. With a smoke point of around 350℉, coconut oil can effectively replace butter or other types of oil while enhancing the taste of every dish.

Makeup-removing

Keep a jar of coconut oil in your bathroom cabinet and use it to effectively take your makeup off without using store-bought products with plenty of harmful ingredients.

Shaving Cream

If you’re out of shaving cream, reach for your coconut oil jar and use it instead. It will immediately become your favorite product for this purpose.

Hair Taming

If your hair is frizzy, the tiniest amount of coconut oil can help you get back control over it.

Ingredients:

You will need 4 cups of chicken stock, 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 large peeled and shredded carrot, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2-inch piece of chopped fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 bunch sliced scallions, 2 tablespoons cooking fat, 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 1 seeded and minced jalapeno, salt, pepper, fresh minced cilantro or basil.

Instructions:

Add the cooking fat in a pan and cook the scallions, ginger, and garlic in it for 5 minutes. Then, include the red bell peppers, carrot, mushrooms, and jalapeno peppers. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the chicken stock, coconut milk, chicken and fish sauce. Wait for the Thai coconut soup to start boiling, then lower the heat. Let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

When it’s done you should take away the chicken out of the pot, and separate it into small pieces. Put it back in the soup. Finish off by adding the fresh herbs, lime zest, salt, and pepper.

Tools

The only tools you will need to open a coconut is a hammer, a screwdriver, and a cup. If you want a better grip on the coconut, you can also hold it with a kitchen towel.

Instructions

1. Take a screwdriver and put it into one of the dark eyes of the coconut.
2. Take a hammer and knock on the screwdriver until you make a hole.
3. Repeat that on one more eye, and put the coconut upside into a cup so the water can drain out.
4. Once all the water has drained, take the screw driver and put it in the middle of the fruit horizontally and hit it with the hammer.
5. Continue to do with around until you can pull the two halves apart or until it breaks naturally.
6. Scrape out the meat from the shell and enjoy!
