How to cook peanut oil
One of the first native North American sources of vegetable oil, the peanut is comprised of about 50 percent oil. This oil is extracted by pressing steam-cooked peanuts.
Peanut oil is high in monounsaturated fat and has the added advantage of having a relatively high smoke point (410 degrees F).
American peanut oils are often mild in flavor. Chinese peanut oils have a stronger peanut flavor because they are less processed. Peanut oil keeps well when stored in a cool, dark place. However, its shelf life is longer when it is refrigerated.

Peanut oil’s high smoke point makes it an excellent choice for deep-frying, a cooking technique always best used in moderation.
Serving suggestions
A healthier use for peanut oil is to serve it as a salad dressing. It also adds a delicate flavor to mayonnaise recipes. The flavor of peanut oil also complements Indian and Asian cuisine.
