  1. Hello! I’m struggling with how to know which oils I can cook at which heats. The coconut oil for this says it’s safe to cook up to 350 degrees but the recipe says to cook it at 400. My reading says that oils that are heated beyond their heat point are not good for our health. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you!
