Do cooking oils go bad?
A friend has some Olive Oil and asked if I wanted it because she hardly ever uses it. The bottle is about 3/4 full and she says it's about 2-3 years old. is it still good?
Answers:
Cooking oils can go rancid. A number of factors affect the speed an oil turn bad. These include the variety of oil, the temperature it was stored at and light exposure.
The best way to tell is to smell it, then maybe try a taste. When in doubt just throw it out.
