As usual I will be frying my families Turkey again this Thanksgiving. My question is when does peanut oil go bad? I drained and filtered the oil from last year and its still sitting in my cabinets. It's only been used that one time, and from what I can see it can be used several times before you need to get new oil, but its been a year. So is it still good?

taste and smell it. If no indications of it being rancid it will be fine.

Yep, your nose knows.

I freeze the used oil.Last years oil will most likely have a funky after taste.

Thanks for reminding me that Thankgiving was around the bend. Need to see what my dear Wife and sons have planned.

I may fry me up a test turkey and see how it does.

i got a large fryer the other day!!! this will be the first time to fry turkey myself. peanut oil?

That's what I always use.

Just be careful, please!

Yeah, be sure and put that sucker in the right way.

READ THE DIRECTIONS!!! Most importantly, pre-test the volume on the turkey you are going to with water first to make sure the displacement doesn't kick oil over the edge and really fire you up! Other than that, have a great time!

Put it in the right way, DON'T have too much oil, and for GOD's Sake...MAKE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY THAWED OUT!!!!

Good luck...fried turkey is AMAZING!

done right the skin on a fried turkey...is like crack

and dry of any moisture....

Inside the cavity as well!

Yep meticulously...I don't like splattering hot grease!But dang I do like me some good deep fried bird!

Agreed! I've almost come to fighting over it!!!

Holy cow, $50 for peanut oil this year! Went with veggie oil at half the price. I've fried maybe 40 or 50 birds now and if not reusing oil or doing 3 back to back, seems like veggie oil works fine. Be safe and in the event of fire, don't use water:)

Saw that price today. Shoulda been a peanut farmer

Well why not?!

haha!
