Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 What about peanut oil? How does it compare in the grand scheme of god fats/bad fats. So many use it to fry turkeys etc. We were thinking about getting a fryer and doing chickens....what do you know about peanut oil?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Dona, Peanut oil, like all vegetable oils except for olive and coconut, is a compromise food. Traditional societies didn't eat liquid veggie oils and neither should we. If you're going to fry food, use lard or tallow. Saturated fats are much more stable at high temperatures. FWIW, I think roasted chicken is a delicious (and less messy) alternative to fried. Be sure to brine the chicken before you roast it for the best flavor.

Very polyunsaturated, not very saturated at all, prone to rancidity and harmful in any significant quantity even when fresh. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
