Coconut oil question.

[greasyspoon42]

I keep my liquid oils out in the garage where I mix my batches. Notice since it is starting to get cooler at night my coconut oil gets a white soildish layer in bottom. I know it is because the temperature is dropping down to where is becoming a soild. But do I need to shake it or mix it up for best results, or is the clear liquid part good enough?

Thanks

You need to melt it before you put it in with your other oils and give it a good stir, you can't shake the solid into the liquid, it needs to be all liquid before adding.
