[kimkdmm]

We are planning on frying a turkey for Thanksgiving. They recommemed using peanut oil for frying, but I was just looking through the bible (dandr) and cant find any info on peanut oil. Does anyone know if it is acceptable?
Thanks

It is 100% fat so I dont see any reason it would not be.

From the Induction Acceptable Foods List.

Acceptable Fats and Oils
Many fats, especially certain oils, are essential to good nutrition. Olive oil is particularly valuable. All other vegetable oils are allowed, the best being canola, walnut, soybean, grapeseed, sesame, sunflower and safflower oils, especially if they are labeled "cold-pressed" or "expeller-pressed." Do not cook polyunsaturated oils, such as corn, soybean and sunflower oil, at high temperatures or allow to brown or smoke.
