I fried up a couple of turkeys back in November for Thanksgiving and wondered if the peanut oil I used then would still be good. It was strained before putting it back in the container and has been stored in a dark closet in the garage since.  I'm going to cook several for a 4th of July party Saturday night and don't want to poison 100 or so people.  Still good or should I buy some more to be on the safe side? Any way to test it?

Just smell it and taste it

That should tell you.

I have saved it before and got away with it.

If you can afford to feed 100 guests you can damn well afford new oil!

I would not use it after such long time.
I wouldn't use it more than few weeks later.
