Tips for Peanut Oil Reuse

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Did you know that you can save your peanut oil and use it again for future deep-frying? The experts believe you can successfully and safely reuse peanut oil 3-4 times before it needs to be replaced by following a few simple guidelines.

First, try not to get the temperature too high when frying as that scorches the peanut oil. Storage is very important as well: allow oil to cool completely, strain it (to remove any particles) with cheesecloth or a coffee filter into an airtight container or the original bottle, and then store in a cool place. Finally, if the color of the peanut oil is too dark or thick, it will need to be disposed of.

Most importantly, taste and smell the oil before you fry your whole turkey. If it tastes or smells off, it’s best to start fresh. I hope that helps!

Deep-fried turkey Thanksgiving in pictures

Happy Thanksgiving, every one!
This year I am at my parents. My mom is roasting a whole turkey (I haven’t converted her yet) and my dad is deep frying an 8 lbs turkey breast. Together they should feed 12 people just fine! I thought I’d follow the deep frying process with some pics. Enjoy!
