The jugs I have say "Not for Reuse," but I can't see spending almost $10 a jug for only getting to use it one time. I have reused mine several times, but it is turning dark. My wife wants me to put new oil in EVERY time I deep fry, but that would make frying chicken at home more expensive than getting it at KFC. What is the real deal on this?
You can reuse it several times......once it needs changing, you will tell by the smell. I used my last for 4 different turkeys before it was looking kinda bad and smelling really rancid[:'(]....sort of smells like a grill in a fast food resturant that needs cleaning... Hope this helps!

You're lucky you can find it in the jugs. I can only find it in 24 oz bottles. They have ethnic food aisles in the grocery store, they need to add a southern section. Had to have my mom send me ham bouillon cubes.

I believe the "Not for ReUse" means the container it comes in shouldn't be reused for other things. Probably cause some folks are extremely alergic to even very small amounts of peanut products. Wouldn't worry about it, but don't put it back when it's hot. If you get a siphon and filter, should work great for multiple uses until it starts to turn as the others have indicated. Watch your cooking temp too, as running at too high a temp. will make it break down faster.
Roger that. Hey, I just got back from BassPro. They don't sell peanut oil there anymore because the FDA labelled it a "gourmet" food item, the price has skyrocketed, and BassPro is boycotting. The lady told me cottonseed is pretty much exactly the same and I got two jugs. We'll see...
It was the same price ($6.99 a gallon) that I paid for the peanut oil two years ago, but I imagine peanut oil is much more expensive now. I will let you know how it is, maybe tomorrow night. I plan to fry the turkey I got this spring if it doesn't rain much tomorrow...
Can you reuse peanut oil for deep frying?
