Turkey Fry Info

I strain and save it, I use cheese cloth or similar. I store it in my shed so it stays cool, that way bacteria doesn't grow.
My dad has done it forever this way and I've been doing it since I started and we have never had a problem.

I just fried 2 turkeys Thursday and that's what I did to use again for xmas.

OK to save it. If I remember correctly the paper said a batch of peanut oil will last 4-6 birds. Something like that.

Have always wondered the same thing. How long can you save it for?? save 1 week 1 month 1 year??

Sounds like it's good until it goes rancid. Here are a few answers which may help.

I'm guessing that the container it's being poured in should be smaller than the original so that less "air" is trapped in the container?

I do the same as Lee but use coffee filters to strain it through. We had a fried chicken this year for TG dinner. It was awesome.

i don't even strain mine. i pour into 2 qt plastic juice containers and store in refrig on back porch. i use it all up in about 6 months. i just pour out until dregs start to come toward neck of bottle. after i've used it a time or two. i dump in a 5 gallon pail with lid and give to my friend who makes bio diesel for his mowers out of it....
