Best Peanut oil for home cooking
What Peanut oil is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
High-heat nut oil of West African and Chinese woks.
In West African cooking, Peanut oil is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Peanut oil before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
