I always melt my coconut oil. I put some in a glass jar, and to melt it
I boil a bit of water (on the stove, NOT the microwave) with a lidded
jar of the CO in the water. Afte just a couple of minutes or less the
H2O is hot enough to melt the CO (it doesn't even have to boil) and
then you can measure out how much you want. For small-mouthed people
more than 1 Tbsp is too much :-) , plus the stuff is too expensive to
waste, if you're buying the premium oil.
