I have gotten so much useful information about peanut oils this evening. Thank you to all.
Just one more reason for loving this forum.

WHOA!! That's expensive. Roll Bones----- do you not have an Asian grocery in your area?
I think the chiles will overwhelm any flavor the oil might have, so I would use an inexpensive one.
Yes, totally forgot about coconut oil! Big and cheap at Costco.
Cheap?
It seems coconut oil is more expensive than EVOO at Costco?
Does it taste like coconut? Would it be good for chili oil?
It has a faint coconut smell, but doesn't really taste like coconut. It's quite popular now for many different uses. It starts out solid, so it would need to be heated, and would go back into solid form when it cools down, so it might not work for chili oil.
I like the least processed as it does have a faint coconut flavor, I use it in my cooked cereal. But yes, it will solidify at room temp, I've used it in cooking and any leftovers that I put away, the oil has solidified by the time I cover and refrigerate.
I have a new favoritel, Avocado Oil, I get it at Costco.
Does it taste like avocado? Might have to try it. Is it liquid?
