How to store peanut oil

Usually we buy a lot of peanut oil at one time, especially self-pressed peanut oil, which needs to be stored for a long time after purchase. So how can we better preserve self-pressed peanut oil?

1. Use glass or ceramic containers for storage: If you use plastic bottles, long-term storage will cause the plastic components to dissolve in the oil, causing the oil to deteriorate.

2. Avoid direct sunlight: Peanut oil needs to be stored away from light. Direct sunlight or light will accelerate the acidification of the oil and produce aldehyde substances that are harmful to the human body. It is a very important factor in causing cancer.

3. Keep it sealed: Using a sealed container can prevent the infiltration of air, moisture and other substances, thus preventing the oil from oxidizing and becoming smelly.

4. Keep away from high temperature: Many people are accustomed to putting peanut oil very close to the stove. In fact, the high temperature during cooking will cause changes in the oil and accelerate the deterioration of the oil.
