In the past I bought a jar of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for the use of cooking. I wanted to use in place of olive oil for sauteeing and pan frying because it stays stable even while being heated. I found that the natural coconut flavor comes through on every dish that I made that the only thing I ended up using it for was cooking eggs in the morning.
I recently bought a jar of Spectrum Expeller Pressed Organic Coconut Oil that is Refined. When I opened it up I was pleased to find that it did not have the intense coconut smell, because I want to use it for cooking everything, including dishes that would not taste good with an added coconut flavor.
My question is; Is it better to use the refined coconut oil for sauteing rather than olive oil? Also, is it ok to use the organic refined coconut oil in dishes that would not taste good if the coconut flavor was present in place of the intense smelling virgin (unrefined) coconut oil?
Lastly, is it a better refined coconut oil because it is from a reliable organic company? Thanks for your time and response.
