Boy, is peanut oil expensive! Almost as expensive as olive oil.
I may try making the chili oil with another type oil for this reason.
I buy my peanut oil at an Asian grocery and it's cheaper there than at other grocery stores.
You have to be careful, though, and read the labels. Some peanut oils are a blend of peanut oil and other oils. I only buy the ones on sale (at the Asian grocery) and that aren't blends.
As we speak, a new batch of chili flakes have been sitting in peanut oil for a day just waiting for me to heat it up for more hot oil.
