Got a question for you. A couple of years ago, for the first time I fried the turkey in peanut oil, which isn't cheap. The result was fantastic, though, and well worth it. Following the directions afterward, I strained the peanut oil back into its container and stored it until the next Thanksgiving. I re-used the oil and afterward strained it back into the container again. My question is, how many times can I keep doing this? Does the oil ever go bad? Thanks much.

Steve, you can use it several times.. it depends on the temperature you cook at, but generally you will know when it becomes weak, dark and take longer to cook..

I am more concerned with how you are storing it.. Store canola, olive, and peanut oils in the refrigerator or in another cool, dark place. Select oils in light-resistant plastic containers or dark brown or green glass containers.
