How do you store the oil? What is its shelf life?

I keep mine on my vanity at room temperature. The 20mL size lasts me approx 5-6 months.

I store in my bathroom cabinet. Six months? I use mine twice daily so give or take a month. It really has made a difference in my skin.

Right or wrong, I just store it in my medicine cabinet. I wouldn't want to store it there for a year or more, but I get several months out of each bottle (4-6 drops a day). I never noticed that it got rancid or lost its effectiveness. Then again, I use it up, so it has never really had a chance to go bad.

I keep it out in a cool room but use it every day so it's shelf life never becomes an issue

Yes...We leave oil in the fryer and store (unless it's dirty of course). It's a great fryer!

Storage and Shelf LifeUnopened peanut oil lasts a year or longer, but opened peanut oil safely lasts four to six months before turning rancid. All oil eventually oxidizes and turns rancid as it ages, and rancid cooking oils have a negative effect on taste and health. Extend the shelf life of peanut oil by storing it in a cool, dark place, preferably the refrigerator. Seal the container of peanut oil as tightly as possible to minimize exposure to air during storage.

Dr. Mecola suggest IT NOT BE STORED in refrigerator. It is actually an oil you can see floating in capsule. I did for a time put mine in the fridge, but noticed how the oil in capsule hardened. It did soften when taken out of fridge though, while sitting at room temp. I noticed then on his website where the doctor suggests storing it at room temp.

You can store the oil in the fryer, but it's recommended you filter the oil before storing it, so I filter it back into it's original bottle and leave it there instead of pouring it back into the fryer for storage.

It is recommend in the instructions on the bottle to refrigerate after opening. I keep my oil in a cool, but not cold place. I have use this oil in essential oil blends and prefer that all the oils being blended be at the same temperature. I have also use it in recipes without any problems.

Hi! Thank you for your question, The oil has a shelf life of at least 2 years from the date of purchase, and even more if stored properly. We do not put an expiration date on the oil since we do not know what conditions the oil will be stored under once it leaves amazon. Please let us know if you have any other question. Have a great day! :)

You really do not want to store oil long term in plastic. Plastic absorbs oil and taints the oil purity. If you have a small amber glass jar it would be better for use.

Yes, I let the oil cool for about 2 hrs. then empty the oil into a container. It hasn't been necessary to strain the oil. When it is completely cooled I store it in my refrigerator. I don't know if that is necessary but I'm comfortable storing it that way. I wipe out the DeLonghi container and then run hot water through it and dry with a paper towel. The basket is very easily washed. All this takes at most a half hour and when I ready to use it again I'm comfortable about food safety.

Mine was rancid upon delivery. In my option, it's a gamble as to how old the oil will be that you get. Assuming you get a fresh bottle, keep it in the fridge always. Go to the fridge to apply, then put it back in.

I did some research on oils and found peanut oil can get hotter without smoking and can be saved by filtering it thru cheese cloth or a couple layers of paper towels. Worked for me. Was told shelf life is just a month or so if you put it back in the bottle, but I'm not real sure how long it will be good.

This is fish oil. It can go bad. I refrigerate mine after opening, but it starts out viscous at room temp and gets even thicker when refrigerated, so you have to thaw it out for a while. It's really fishy too - go figure.

Like coconut oil, it doesn't need refrigeration and will last well over a year+ because it's a highly saturated oil. great for your health. take it as a thick liquid with a spoon.

Since it's a saturated fat oil, like ghee, it can last years though most people will try to use within one year. You can store in the refrigerator, but it will harden and be difficult to use so I keep mine in my cupboard. When I buy more than one though, I store one in the freezer or refrigerator.

There is not a listed shelf life, but some other oils can be seen to have a 5-7 year shelf life but that is usually seen on "exotic" oils with multiple parts because they can separate, this is mineral oil which is a very basic substance which should not break down.
