:::question about storing coconut oil:::

[Anew]

Where do you store yours? I bought some the other day and when I went to get it, it was all liquid. I put it in the cabinet next to the stove in my kitchen, but it sits up high..

Maybe I should have put it under the bathroom cabinet? I wasn't thinking, I went shopping and just started putting things away.

Coconut oil will liquefy no matter where you put it. Unless you have cool house.

I usually put some in a bottle so that its easier to use.

Okay, lol.. feel stupid now..

 

[kandake]

No need to feel stupid.

If you would like for it to stay hard you can keep in the fridge.

If you want it to harden you can stick it in the fridge I suppose. Either way it will emulsify in your hand so having it in a liquid state will be easier imo.

Actually, I don't find that to be the case and my house is not cool. When I first open it, a portion of it is a little soft but not all the way through the container. For the most part, it is still in its solid state. I store mine in my medicine cabinet.

Yeah, I guess everyone's house is different.

It's funny, I keep my coconut oil in the cabinet above the stove as well.

Mine cycles from liquid to solid when it wants to. I'm sure it has no negative affect, just depends on the temperature.

Oh yeah, the solid was just so much nicer

My house is pretty warm but mine stays solid. I read that if the coconut oil stays in liquid form then it's not pure, virgin.

Really, I didn't know that. Maybe thats why mine stays liquid for the most part.

Mine stays solid too - and I live in Hawaii. It don't get no hotter than here!

I usually store it in a color applicator bottle under the cabinet in the bathroom.

on my jar (i'm sure all of them) says to place in a cool place and that it doesn't need refrigeration. I know i know that doesn't help any lol!!!!

I use mine for my body so i keep it in the bathroom. It was really soft in the summer and now its hard.
