How to Make HOW TO: Measure Cold Coconut Oil (or shortening)
- Using a spoon, gradually add a spoonful at a time, or chucks, of the oil to the water until the water line reaches the desired amount. (ie: if you need 2/3 cup of coconut oil, add it to 1 cup of water- when the water level reaches 1 and 2/3 cups you are done!) Be sure to gently push the coconut oil down into the cup so that all the pieces stick together, and to the bottom of the cup so that it all stays below the water level to get the most accurate measure. If its sticking up above the water, its not included in the measurement.
