can you use it as the same corn starch for cooking coconut pie recipe

Yes! I use it all the time in place of cornstarch and flour. You just need to mix it with a liquid before you add it, just like you do with cornstarch. It's perfect for someone on a gluten free diet. I'm not sure about how much to use when using it as a substitute, I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Yes you can. Thick gel can be used 1-to-1 with normal corn starch. Make sure you mix it with the dry ingredients or with liquid and then it needs to boil to become thick.

Yes ma'am. As long as you are cooking it as Thick Gel requires heat to activate. Same measurement as your cornstarch, but it'll give you a lot better hold, texture and fridge stability. Sounds yummy!

I found answer to this on the Nordic Ware site. However, I am not impressed with this item. I get better results with a large corning casserole. This is not made well either. Mine broke at the handle after one use. Still usable but unimpressive results. I tossed after 6 unremarkable batches of rice.

Hi, unless the package says otherwise, I use the same portions. Also, if flour has xanthan this must be added.

You can--however, it was purposefully made for drinking. For the BEST coconut flavored rice, use "coconut milk," which can be found at your local grocery stores.

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

If you use flour in your smoothie I don't see why not. I use sparingly it's overwhelming if you use too much. In cakes I only replace 1/4 cup of the all purpose flour with coconut flour.

No you cannot. It's a white powder similar to tapioca starch, good mainly as a binder in baked goods.

I do not know. Clear-jel, as far as I know is intended for fruit pies to keep the juice from being runny and is great for that purpose. Do not know what you are using the thin boiling starch for.

I believe this Arrowroot Powder is the same as Arrowroot Starch. Another brand that sells Arrowroot Starch/Flour had the following on their site "...The liquid and fine powders that make it through the sieve are dried, leaving the useful arrowroot powder behind...." And I use this Arrowroot powder the same way. I use when a recipe calls for arrowroot or as a substitute for cornstarch. So much better for us.You can research or just check out http://blog.morethanalive.com/ for additional information. or check out http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-arrowroot.htm

I haven't used it myself yet, but my husband used it for cooking chicken breasts for dinner tonight. He "cut" it with regular flour. He said it had a higher heat tolerance and didn't tend to burn like all plain flour might. I could not taste any coconut flavor at all. I am thinking this might be gluten free as well, but I am not an expert in GF standards. I really liked it, and so did my husband, who is the main cook/chef in the family.

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

I personally would not use it for that. For cooking I use only the coconut oil that comes in a glass jar.

Somewhat it's a replacement for corn starch Example : last year I canned apple pie filling and then I found out you can't can things that have corn starch so I had to dump them in bags and drop the in the freezer

It is not like shredded coconut that you would use on a cake. It is finer but not as fine as powdered sugar.

I am afraid I do not know the answer, as I have not baked with it. I can tell you that he texture of the coconut creme is harder than a regular creme. I would probably try coconut milk first.

Yes, you can cook with it and I have used it. It gave a nice light coconut flavor to chichen.

from what I researched, 1 1/2T of clear gel is equivalent to 1T of corn starch. I can't say for sure because I haven't used it for a substitute of corn starch. I hope this helps you some.
