Make your own coconut oil

What oil? Which vinegar? What about sugar?

But then the result will be grated coconut, right?
(not coconut oil)

Looks like a lof of work, for not much oil. I wonder if it is really cheaper than buying some.

Put the grated coconut meat into a clean white nylon mesh bag. Wearing kitchen gloves, press the coconut meat in the nylon bag, using your hands. Make sure you press it over a wide mouthed jar, to catch the coconut oil mixture. Soak the pressed coconut meat in the jar of coconut milk. Press it again with your hands, over the jar, to extract as much milk as possible.Let the coconut milk in the jar settle in a cool protected place; this can be a cabinet or refrigerator. After at least 10 hours, check the coconut mixture. There should be two layers in the jar, with the solidified oil layer on top and the water layer on the bottom. Scoop out the oil without disturbing the water beneath.

OR instead of storing the coconut oil mixture on a cabinet to settle, try freezing it for 24 hours. After 24 hours, take it out and remove the top curd layer. Remove the oil. This will be easy since the layers will have frozen and are therefore easy to keep separate.

To me it seems like it's essential for the process (maybe it can discover a rancid coconut), so you better get one Oscar :)

@dime: But but but...I'm allergic to cats :(

@Emeira: I'm surprised at the fruits, not so much the egg yolks (and oil, to a lesser extent). She probably loves fish and/or meat too, I guess.

strange, because she doesn't like salmon at all, only herring, mackerel, beef, egg yolks, bananas... and coconut oil
