You’ve used and reused your 100% peanut oil. Now what? Why not recycle it? Not only are you doing your part for the environment, you’re keeping your house and garage clutter-free! Earth911.com is a great site to find a recycling center near you. Just search “cooking oil” and your zip code, city, or state and they provide a listing. Click here to begin searching.

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!

Thought I’d share this link to a story about Deep-Fried Turkey that’s in the hands-down coolest magazine out today (in my opinion). So by correlation that makes deep-frying turkey cool too!
