I'm seeing coconut oil for sale everywhere. Have you used it for cooking and do you believe coconut oil to be a fad or a trend with staying power?

What’s your experience cooking with coconut oil?

Some labels imply that it’s neutral tasting, while others say it “adds a taste of the tropics”.

There must be different grades, as I saw a jar about a pint parked next to a container at least a quart and there was hardly any difference in the price?

What have you used coconut oil for? If you saute in it, do you use it alone or perhaps mixed with olive oil?

I don’t want another container of crap in my cabinet or fridge that I won’t use, but I’m curious about coconut oil.
