God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Chapter 580: Several Benefits of Coconut Oil

There is also a method called hot pressing, and the initial processing process is exactly the same as cold pressing.

Both require taking the coconut meat first, then beating it into pulp with a meat grinder, and filtering it to get pure coconut milk.

The following steps are completely different. Hot pressing no longer requires the time-consuming step of standing.

Instead, pour the coconut milk directly into the pot and cook over high heat.

In order to squeeze out coconut oil today, Li Heng decisively chose the hot pressing method.

As far as he knows, coconut oil produced by cold pressing and hot pressing are different in terms of efficacy and application scenarios.

Although hot pressing saves time, high temperature will also destroy some of the nutrients contained in coconut oil. Cold-pressed coconut oil avoids this problem.

Therefore, in addition to being edible, cold-pressed coconut oil has other uses that hot-pressed coconut oil does not have.

While Li Heng was stirring the pot with a spatula to prevent it from sticking, he was also educating others about some common sense about coconut oil.

"So what else can this coconut oil be used for besides cooking?"

Zhou Xing, like everyone else, held a glass of coconut juice and sat obediently on the bench to listen to Li Heng's "lecture".

Just after he paused for a moment, someone raised his hand to urge him to continue.

Among this group of people, the most active one is Tian Xiu. He not only listens, but also takes notes.

If the pot was replaced by a blackboard and the spoon in his hand by a piece of chalk, Li Heng would look like a teacher.

Since they were free anyway, it would be interesting to listen to Li Heng talk about things they didn't know.

"Cold-pressed coconut oil also has the effect of beauty and skin care..."

Before Li Heng could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by several soprano voices.

"cosmetic!!"

"Skin care??"

Except for the two little ones, all the women present stood up and exclaimed, looking at Li Heng with shining eyes.

The love of beauty is always a girl’s nature. Even women who become monks cannot escape this rule.

Otherwise, Miss Ruyan would not have traveled thousands of miles to follow Li Heng back to Xiaochufeng to help him raise pigs.

Now they learned from Li Heng a way to become more beautiful. The girls rushed forward excitedly and surrounded Li Heng.

"Can you tell me more about this, brother?"

"Yes! Master, please tell me how to use this coconut oil?"

"Compared to pig's trotters, which one is better?"

"..."

They chattered like sparrows, asking questions one after another, without giving Li Heng time to answer.

"Hiss~ These girls are really crazy!"

Bai Dabao took a deep breath and whispered to Zhou Xing, thank goodness Tie Xin was too busy to deal with him, otherwise the two of them would have started to argue with each other again.

The boys were all shocked by the scene before them, because such a scene was indeed rare.

The key point is that they can't understand why these girls in front of them, who are obviously beautiful enough, still care so much about their appearance?

Several boys who were close to Li Heng were forcibly pushed to the side.

"Stop! You don't have to surround me. I won't suddenly fly away."

After a while, when the girls' voices gradually dropped, Li Heng finally found the opportunity to speak.

"I only know a little bit about the beauty benefits of coconut oil, so don't be impatient and listen to me slowly."

While Li Heng was speaking, he never put down the spoon in his hand. He needed to make sure that the coconut milk in the pot would not become mushy.

Under the influence of the fire, the originally calm coconut milk began to bubble continuously, indicating that it had begun to boil.

At this time, the high heat needs to be turned to medium heat to continue cooking. During the whole process, he needs to stay beside the pot.

Only after the situation in the pot gradually stabilized did Li Heng continue his science popularization.

This time it was specifically for girls to hear, so the boys didn't care much and just listened for fun.

The girls did it again, and then they began to learn from Tian Xiu, taking out their small notebooks to take notes.

"Cough cough!"

Li Heng cleared his throat and continued.

"Coconut oil has a wide range of beauty applications, so I'll just talk about a few of the more common ones!"

“First, applying coconut oil on the face can nourish the skin, make it shiny and elastic, and reduce wrinkles;

Secondly, coconut oil can be used for hair care. If you apply it to your hair, it can repair damaged hair and make it smoother; and then there is…”

Li Heng was talking incessantly there, while the girls in the front row were writing furiously.

The boys in the back row could only listen quietly, because if they said a few words, they would be glared at by all the girls.

This process lasted for five or six minutes before Li Heng finally told everything he knew.

The girls put away their notes contentedly, looked at each other, and stood up again as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

"Isn't it? Are you still coming?"

Before they started the next move, Li Heng was frightened and almost dropped the spoon in his hand. He thought he was surrounded again.

"Junior brother/Little brother Li Heng/Peak Master, we want to learn how to cold-press coconut oil, please teach us!"

Fortunately, they did not do anything excessive this time, but just asked Li Heng in unison.

The sincerity in her tone and the expectation in her eyes made the boy next to her drop his jaw again.

"Haha, no problem, no problem! I'll teach you in a moment."

What else could Li Heng say? He naturally agreed without hesitation. After all, it was not a complicated matter.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the girls decided not to disturb him for the time being.

As time went by, the milky white coconut milk in the pot began to become clear, and some white flocs appeared in it.

The moisture in the pot is decreasing all the time, and a layer of less obvious oil can be seen on the top.

Half an hour later, more and more white condensates appeared, which looked a bit like tofu pudding.

Continue to cook for five minutes, then scoop out the condensate with a colander and squeeze out the fat attached to it.

The pot is still sizzling at this time because there is a small amount of water in addition to coconut oil.

As we all know, water and oil do not mix.

Once the noise stops, the water in the pot has boiled away and all that's left is the coconut oil.

Turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature before storing in cans.

Coconut oil is not as delicate as butter and does not need to be refrigerated. It can be kept at room temperature as long as it is well sealed.

“Is this coconut oil? It looks similar to the rapeseed oil we usually eat!”

Su Lingxuan and the other girls looked at the squeezed coconut oil from left to right, but couldn't see anything special about it.

Generally, coconut oil that is hot-pressed will be light yellow in color, while that which is cold-pressed will be closer to white or colorless and transparent.

"Yes, this is coconut oil. Although it doesn't look special, you will know the difference when I use it to cook a few dishes tonight."

"Cook? What kind of food? Where can we get food? We want to eat too."

The two little ones, who were originally drowsy, jumped up as if by reflex after hearing the key words.
