How long does it take oil to congeal?

The time it takes for oil to congeal depends on several factors, including the type of oil, temperature, and the amount of oil present. Generally, oils with higher saturated fat content, like coconut oil, can solidify quickly at cooler temperatures, while others, like olive oil, may take longer. In colder environments, oils can begin to thicken and solidify within minutes to hours. However, complete congealing may take longer, depending on the specific conditions.
