Title: Saving oil from da bird fry
Post by: Thom Emery on November 18, 2011, 07:16:17 am

 

 Saving peanut oil from the turkey frier
I am told the peanut oil can be saved and reused
Anyone have experience doing this?
What methods did you use?
Thanks

Thom, with the cost of peanut oil it does make sense to reuse it. Strain it as best you can and refrigerate it. The chicken fat can make it go rancid if it sits around for days at room temp.

Doing two birds this weekend
5 on Thanksgiving Day
And maybe to it again at Christmas
We usually have Prime Rib at New Years
No we NEVER eat roasted Duck
That would be unnatural

I admit it. The Devils fell apart and UA stepped up. Maybe we'll have a rematch in a bowl game this year.

Mark, there's NO chicken-fat in a turkey.  (Sorry, had to bust SOMEONE'S bubble today.) :D

Thom, my brother has successfully re-used peanut oil for a couple years now.  I wouldn't worry.

(As someone here has posted, RDWHAHB!  (Relax.  Don't worry.  Have a homebrew.  Special thanks to Charles Papazian!)(I'm surprised I still remember that one!)

There's a name from the past. For years, I wrote a monthly marketing column for his magazine, "New Brewer." Lotsa fun going to the Great American Beer Festival and American Microbrewers Conferences. It made me what I am today. 150 lbs overweight. ::)

Just a product note
I bought two of the Butterball Indoor Turkey Friers (Kyle gets on for Christmas)
These things work great
easy to clean and manage
oil drain spout with valve is raised so impurities settle in the oil
and do not transfer back into the oil jug when your done
Excellent Now we are talking about deep fried Prime Rib ;0) at new years
