Can this oil be used for cooking even though it has vitamin e added?

YES!!! It is wonderful for stir fries as well as salad dressings. My 99% usage is for skin care items for family: lotions, creams and massage base. Have met folks who use this as a once a month treatment for hair that is often exposed to chlorinated pools. Try it!

It can be, but I wouldn't. I would by the grapeseed oil in the cooking aisle to cook with. Thou this brand do say food grade. It is up to you if you want to use it in cooking. I use this strictly for my skin and hair products.

Sorry, I don't use the oil for cooking at high temperatures. It is a quality product and I would recommend going to Nutiva website for specs. They are a reputable company.

Yes! I purchased this a month ago and the only ingredient is vitamin E. It is very VERY thick, and uncut with any other oils. PERFECT for my natural hair regimen.

I would never cook with or ingest any olive oil labeled "pomace." Not only does it taste dramatically different, but also the extraction process is different than the EVOO we usually eat; pomace *can* include chemical solvents and other impurities (depending on the specific processor). This is wonderful oil for making soap but a bad choice for eating.

Yes it has vitamin E mentioned, however, its so low on the list of ingredients, I would think its of little to no value. I looked at the color and consistency was not at appealing. The largest content besides water was wax and alcohol. I used it once and decided nah I don't think so. If the first 3 ingredients are important then yuck.

Hi,This product is just Coconut oil with beta-carotene added for color. This can absolutely be used in place of coconut oil in any recipe you desire; however, I would recommend purchasing the white version ( Snappy Popcorn 1 Gallon White Coconut Oil, 1 Gallon ) which is the same product, minus the beta-carotine.

Hi, no, it's not, it's a very different type of oil, you can even drink it, have a light sweet tast, it's the best for cooking, or frying even baking and salad, you will love the good healty benifits, enjoy.

I wouldn't even consider it! Would get too hot to handle. Also, what would one do with leftover heated oil? Flavor change for sure. Too attractive to take a chance on damaging the appearance by exposing it to excessive heat. mmm

It is great for baking and sauteing, but anything at a high temp requires a different oil. E.g., I use grapeseed if I roast veggies.

I don't believe it can be very much considering that there is 2600mg of fish and flax oil in three gelcaps, so about 850mg per gelcap. Considering the size, I'd say it's only enough soybean oil to carry the vitamin e....much like the box says.

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

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

Yes you can use olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil. These are all carrier oils.

I have read that canola oil is can be used or other light weight oil like mineral oil. No veg oil.

I don't see why not, as it is heat stable at high temps. And it doesn't have a strong flavor. However I personally use it for frying and sauting and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.

I can't imagine why not. I was using Dr Harveys veg to bowl food and adding oil as directed to complete the nutritional balance he recommended. I will say I called the company, and they were totally helpful. I even got to speak with Dr. Harvey, he was full of additional informatiom I didn't even know I needed!

You cook with it as you would any oil. The only difference is that, it's in a solo state until it has liquified. I have replaced this and Olive oil for Vegetable oil. You can even use coconut oil as a substitute for butter.
