Coconut Oil Ideas?

Hi! I am relatively new to low carb/high fat eating. I have heard a lot of people recommend coconut oil as a really healthy fat. I am wondering if anyone has any favorite, tried-and-true recipes or uses for cocomut oil.

I am an American living in Germany. I love it here, but I don't have an oven so that limits my cooking a bit. :-)

I'd love to hear about everyone's experiences with coconut oil!

    Make sure it's a healthy coconut oil, ones like Copha are not okay :) Use it like regular oil. It goes liquid when it's warm, so keeping it in the fridge will make it go solid.

    I like to put some in my coffee. A tablespoon or two instead of cream or milk. I use one of those spinning milk frother wands to mix it in. I also use it anywhere I'd use other oil: frying eggs or chicken or vegetables, for example.
