Can you substitute butter for coconut oil?

Answer 1

It depends on the recipe. If the recipe requires a large proportion of vegetable oil and you're hoping to substitute it with coconut oil it is not a good idea since coconut oil has a distinctive taste which will overpower the whole dish.

Generally, it is a good idea to substitute vegetable oil with something like canola oil since it has no taste rather than coconut oil.

Answer 2

Sweet and bitter almonds provide oils for a variety of uses, from cooking to Skin Care. Sweet almonds are the source of almond oil. Sweet almond oil is used as a carrier oil and as as base for skin lotions. Bitter almonds produce Amaretto and cooking oil. The various oils that are produced from bitter and sweet almonds offer a beneficial and sometimes delicious array of uses.

Answer 3

No, both are entirely different by nature. And both gives completely different taste, smell, flavour when applied in any dish or preparation. For example take the case of mayonnaise. which if prepared by olive oil tasted great. but tastes funny and odourful if prepared with coconut oil.

same way, taking the case of any Indian dish. In the flavour and aroma of any Indian dish, coconut oil has a major role to play. You can't achieve that taste with olive oil or any other oil.
