No, your peanuts will get oily but your oil will not get peanuty. Sorry. Peanut oil has a higher smoking temp, so even if you got your oil to *taste* like peanuts it wouldn't be as ideal for deep frying, but it'd work at lower temps. For baking, the vegatable oil will not affect texture and will not be a bad taste, and you could add ground peanuts to get that flavor in there. I'm not sure what else you'd need the peanut oil for so now I'm just rambling... I hope this helps.

No. The peanuts will be oily and the vegetable oil will taste like just...uhhh...vegetable oil. Insteas try grinding up the peanuts as so many people suggested, and skim off the oil.
Or go to the store tomorrow and buy some.

The idea is insane. You can, however, grind up your peanuts to peanut butter, and peanut oil will rise to the top of the container overnight.

sorry. But I believe if you grind them (food processor) into peanut butter and let sit over night or more it will seperate. Oil on top. Why, if you have until tommorow, don't you just go to the store and buy peanut oil?

It's insane
You need to crush peanuts to extract peanut oil.
And the force needed is way above what most people have available in their homee.

Yeah thats crazy.If you heat the oil a little with the nuts in it.It will taste really nutty .I think the real thing has a higher cooking tempeture.
