Infusing Coconut Oil with Plantain on a Double Burner

Welcome to our guide on infusing coconut oil with plantain using a double burner. This simple process can yield a versatile and flavorful oil that can be used in a variety of dishes.

What You’ll Need

Before we get started, let’s gather the necessary ingredients and equipment:

• 2 ripe plantains
• 2 cups of coconut oil
• Double burner or a saucepan and a heatproof bowl
• Cheesecloth
• Knife and cutting board
• Storage jar

Step 1: Prepare the Plantains

Start by peeling the plantains and cutting them into small pieces. The size of the pieces doesn’t have to be exact, but smaller pieces will infuse the oil more quickly.

Step 2: Infuse the Coconut Oil

Place the coconut oil in the heatproof bowl and add the plantain pieces. Fill the bottom of the double burner with water and place the bowl on top. If you don’t have a double burner, you can use a saucepan filled with water and a heatproof bowl placed on top.

Turn the double burner on low heat and allow the coconut oil and plantains to infuse for 1-2 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even infusion.

Step 3: Strain the Oil

Once the oil has infused, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Place a piece of cheesecloth over the storage jar and carefully pour the oil through the cheesecloth to strain out the plantain pieces.

Step 4: Store the Infused Oil

Once strained, the infused coconut oil is ready to use. Store it in a cool, dark place and use it within a few weeks for the best flavor.
