Question

Is peanut oil (and other kitniyot oils) OK for Ashkenazim? I have noticed that you often say OK for Sephardim, but isn't the oil in a product always less than 50%, so batel be-rov? (aside from the fact that you might hold that oils are not a problem to begin with)

yes kitniyot is batel b'rov. I'm sorry but I don't want to start guessing on percentages and making decisions. YA
