A Tale About Heating Virgin Coconut Oil!

One Sunday afternoon recently
I placed a pan on the range to heat. Inside was about an ounce of
VCO and a wooden spatula - all ready to stir fry the veg. (Silly, but
true). The phone rang and, yes, you guessed it ... I forgot all about the
pan! The first indication that anything
was amiss came when I started coughing. Something was aggravating my
breathing. Realisation was quick to come. Oh my goodness - the
coconut oil! It had been heating for 20 minutes
on full heat. The house was filled with smoke and smelled badly of
something else I was unable to identify at that moment. With heart
thumping and expecting to see flames rising, I rushed to the kitchen. To my absolute amazement, the pan
was still intact, the oil was only slightly smoking but the wooden spatula was
charred black one third of the way up the handle! Even more amazing was
the fact that the oil still had not heated to the point where it turned yellow
(and was therefore unusable). I did, however, throw it away because no
doubt it would have tasted of charred wood!! If this had been any other oil, I
am convinced there would have been a house fire. A dangerous way to prove
that coconut oil can be heated to exceptionally high temperatures and not break
down. |
