Purest Virgin Coconut Oil | All Nigerian Recipes - Duration: 9:16.
Hey guys.
Are you ready to learn how to make the purest virgin coconut oil ever?
You want to go from this to this?
Let's go!
I will be making this purest virgin coconut oil with 2 coconuts.
Break them with a blunt object and pry out the meat.
Rinse with cool water.
Cut into pieces to help your blender.
Blend with warm water.
Sieve it while pressing the chaff in the process.
Blend again to get out more oil.
We need to milk this coconut as much as possible.
Then sieve with a chiffon or cheese cloth,
the cloth for sieving akamu or ogi in Nigeria.
Pour that into a transparent plastic bag like this.
You can also pour the coconut milk into a transparent plastic bucket
especially if you are will use method number 1 for the separation.
More on that later.
Gather the bag in such a way that it is pointy at the bottom.
Then tie it up.
And hang somewhere like this.
If you are using a bucket, keep in a place where it will be undisturbed.
You will immediately see the mixture separating like a fresh water saltwater line.
Those who work at sea know what I am talking about.
You see that?
And within 20 minutes, you will see a very clear separation like this.
Leave it right there and after 24 hours this is what it looks like.
You will see the first signs of fermentation and some virgin coconut oil forming.
After 48 hours the oil is more prominent.
The fermentation of the top part is what gives the coconut oil.
The time it will take for this to happen depends on the temperature in your kitchen.
If you do this in the winter when kitchens are sometimes as cold as a fridge,
fermentation and subsequently the appearance of the oil will take longer.
But if you do this in Nigeria where the weather is often hot and humid,
this may even happen in only 24 hours.
So keep an eye on it because you do not want it to become rotten.
If the top part becomes mouldy, you know that black thing that
appears on bread that has gone bad,
your virgin coconut oil will smell badly.
You don't want that.
So now that the virgin coconut oil has formed,
we need to separate it from the other unwanted elements.
I have 2 methods of doing it.
For the first method, you need a fridge.
This is also the method where you can put the coconut milk
in a bucket especially if you are making a large quantity that you will sell.
Put the plastic bag in the fridge in the same way it was hanging in your kitchen.
This way, it will be undisturbed hence the oil will not mix with the fermented part so
much.
Within a few minutes maximum 1 hour, the virgin coconut oil will solidify.
You can see that some of the fermented particles stuck to the virgin coconut oil.
You can scrape some of that off with a knife.
Rinse with cool water.
And pat dry with a paper towel.
Place in a container and leave it on your kitchen counter till it turns to liquid oil.
If it's so cold in your kitchen, you can put it
inside a cupboard or inside an oven that is turned off.
Again if your kitchen has the right temperature,
this will happen in no time.
When it has melted, leave it to sit there for some time
and the fermented bits will settle at the bottom.
Slowly decant the oil leaving the fermented bits behind.
And you will get this.
The second method which is my fave method is:
once you see the oil, puncture the plastic bag at the
bottom of the virgin coconut oil line.
This is the complete rig up,
you need a receptor directly below the pointed end.
So puncture it all around the same line.
This one is coconut oil acupuncture!
And watch the purest virgin coconut oil drips out into the container below.
This is why you want the plastic bag to be pointed at the end.
Leave it there to slowly drip till there's no more oil in the bag.
Now you can go and drink some coconut milk while that happens.
Please note that because no heat was involved
during the making of this virgin coconut oil,
it can go solid at room temperature depending on the temperature in your home.
Virgin coconut oil has so many uses.
You can use it as a body cream, as a hair cream
and for coconut oil pulling.
You can also use it to cook.
Thanks because I know you've liked the video already. ;)
Please share this video to help your family
and friends learn the best way to make the purest virgin coconut oil.
Byeee see you soon!

Channel Update September/October 2017 - Duration: 14:04.
Channel Update September/October 2017.
Hi everyone and welcome to the channel update video for September and October 2017.
Just like in every other update i will tell you about some news around the channel,
show you the new kits i bought and talk about the progress of my ongoing projects on the bench.
For me there are no more model shows left this year, so i do not have any appointments to share for you guys.
I hope there are some shows around your area where you can go to.
In August i was on vacation in the USA. It was a pleasant and new experience for me.
I saw and did a lot there and i also met plenty of nice people there. All in all an excellent trip there.
I walked inside the U 505 submarine in Chicago for example,
had the chance to ride on a Jagdpanzer 38 in Illinois,
in Texas i spent some time visiting various aircraft museums,
and even took part in a model building club meeting of the North Texas Plastic Modelers.
The coolest thing at the meeting there was, that i was allowed to sign a diorama built by Robert Smith.
Robert is a fan of my work and a great supporter of my channel for many years already.
It was awesome to meet him in person and to see and sign the diorama he has built in my honor.
Of course it features a Panzer III, just like it should be!
That was a very special event for me, i bet for Robert, too!
Of course i did not return with empty hands from the USA.
My host TacticalJackalope, or Andy, who is a great friend and a long-time supporter gave me two kits.
I could barely fit things into my suitcase.
The first one is a 1/72 scale Flyhawk Panzer II L.
It is a marvellous kit, i might review it for you guys soon.
The second kit is Tamiya´s 1/48 scale Ki-61. It is a brand new kit of a very interesting plane.
Awesome kit. It is different for me, i normally do not build Japanese subjects very often.
In late September the Augsburg Model Building Days took place.
It was a fairly small exhibition, which was organized by the club i am a member of.
It was very nice to meet some of you guys there, who i only know from the comment section of my videos or on Facebook.
It was a nice experience to get to talk with you guys in person, as always.
It is not a given thing that people drive there a long way just to visit a small show and talk to me.
Because of that i really want to thank you guys for showing up.
It would not have been a complete model show experience for me without spending some money on the model kit flea market. Let´s have a look at the things i brought home.
Recently i was at the model show in Ried, where i also displayed my models.
For me it is always the highlight every year, because it is a really big show with lots of visitors and shops. Always interesting to be there.
Again i´d like to thank all of you guys, who showed up and said hello to me. I am always happy to get to talk to you guys.
It can be quite interesting to see who is behind some usernames.
In Ried i decided to take part in the model building contest. I was pretty successful and won a silver medal for my Tunisia-diorama.
I am very happy about that. I´m not a guy who is keen on winning in a competition.
I just enter something into the competition as a contribution, otherwise it would be a boring thing with only a few models in the competition.
Anyway, it is a great thing for me and a nice gesture of appreciation. Makes me happy.
Since i bought a lot of stuff at the show in Augsburg already, i decided to restrain myself a bit in Ried.
I only bought this tree and some shrubs by MiniNatur.
Besides that i received this kit and a few other bits and pieces as a donation from a young fellow model builder who is watching me.
That is some awesome support. Thank you very much, you know who you are.
It is a neat kit. I almost bought it at the model show in Augsburg.
I´m glad that i was able to withstand the temptation, because now i got it for free.
Now i have something nice to say about my YouTube channel: Recently i reached 24.000 subscriptions.
I am glad that my channel still attracts so many viewers and subscribers.
It is an awesome thing and i am really honored by that.
Besides that my Facebook group also crossed a barrier, there are over 500 members now.
That is so cool. I was always under the impression that Facebook would be hard to deal with, but it is actually not true.
Everyone behaves very nicely in the group, a very positive environment all in all.
A big thank you goes to all of you, who bother to watch and read what i put out there.
I am glad that i am able to provide you with interesting content, which makes you actually return again and again.
Recently i also received a donation by Christof. He had some kits left over and wanted to get rid of them.
I am chuffed about that, thank you very much Christof.
I can put these things to use, like this accessories set by Academy. Always useful to have that stuff.
The other two kits will be used for the children model building workshop next year, because these kits are not quite suiting my interests. The kids will love it for sure!
One kit is a small submarine model by Hobby Boss.
The other one is Tamiya´s Rover Ambulance.
These are ideal kits for the children. I will host that workshop next year again, so that is a good use for the models.
Now let´s have a look at the projects on the workbench.
Here you can see the StuG III G which belongs to the "Famo-rama" diorama.
It will act as cargo for the special trailer of the Famo.
I did the following thing with the model since the last update: I added a stowage rack on the rear.
The rack is made out of photo-etched parts coming from this Verlinden set.
The kit features two different type of stowage racks and a bit of cargo. A pretty interesting set actually.
Instead of gluing the parts i soldered them.
A while ago i bought a soldering station and now i wanted to see how this all works.
It did work afterall. I am not the world´s greatest soldering expert, but maybe i will become an expert one day. It is all about exercise.
I also did some progress on the cargo of the Famo, it is pretty much complete now.
I don´t want to add more, it looks fine the way it is.
I just added a few more boxes, oil cans and some other small bits and pieces.
One part of the cargo is the motorbike, which is in fact already painted and weathered.
I used it as a demontionstration piece during the Augsburg Modelling Days.
I did a workshop about weathering there and this was the demonstration piece.
It turned out pretty nicely. The people coming to that workshop were quite amazed by the simplicity of the process.
The diorama also requires some accessories.
I painted a few of them already. This paint set by Vallejo called "old and new wood effects" was very useful here. The paints get the job done.
This is a wheelbarrow by PlusModel.
The ladder comes from a MiniArt set and the wheel is by Royal Model i think.
With the exception of the ladder all is resin. The details are nice all in all.
Should look fine on the diorama.
One question i can not yet answer is, which cargo the Opel Blitz truck will carry.
No useful idea comes to my mind right now.
Of course i could just pack it with various things like i did with the Famo, but it would look weird if both vehicles had pretty much the same type of cargo.
I don´t like that, i want to see something different in there.
So far i haven´t found something that convinces me.
I will have to think about this a bit longer. I am sure in the end i will come up with something that meets my ideas.
As you can see i also managed to make some progress on the diorama, too. A lot happened here since the last update.
The retaining walls are finished and some guide posts by Model Victoria were added. They have the correct shape of those, which were common in Italy back then.
Some stones got glued on around the hills and the streambed, in order to achieve a rather mountainous look.
Then i proceeded with painting the walls and stones, along with the shed.
I started to work on the flora as well. The shrubbery/small trees are by MiniNatur.
They look very convincing to me. I glued them in after drilling holes. That way they are securely attached.
The diorama is not far away from getting finished.
The next step will pretty much be the completion of the diorama base, which means putting on earth and grass and all those things. That should not be too time consuming.
Then i will deal with the vehicles, paint them and weather them. The finish line is not far away.
Since the last update most of my work time was spent on the Famo.
This means that i did not make any progress on the other projects. I apologize for that.
I want to finish the "Famo-rama" fairly quickly, because it consumes a lot of space in my workshop. It will be cool to see it all done.
As soon as the Famo is out of the way i can continue working on these will full force, especially when it comes to the building review of the Schneider tank.
Alright, now we take a look at the other kits i bought since the last update.
As you can see i am well supplied with modern kits.
I want to review one or the other kit for you in the upcoming weeks.
Before you feel compelled to say something silly about the Sherman kit i am going to explain it for you right away:
This kit is reserved for the Sherman group build hosted by Shane Smyth.
It is quite an interesting affair, especially for those who are not into the subject, like myself.
One likes to broaden his horizon a bit, maybe a Sherman kit is a good starting point for that.
Besides that i want to try out some more Hobby Boss kits. Their 1/48 scale kits look very interesting to me.
Alright, thats it already for this update.
I hope i can make some big progress with the Famo in the next weeks. The upcoming long weekend will allow for that i hope.
Once it is finished i can move on to other projects.
Thank you very much for watching, see you again in the next video, your Hamilkar Barkas.
