Thank you, mats! If we could replace KZread's algorithm with you, these might take off...

Heating oil to frying temps changes the nature of the oil from relatively healthy to unhealthy. There are many nutrition videos that cover how monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils can turn to trans fats when heated too much.

Well done and very informative video... thanks for sharing.

This video was very, very informative. I don't fry much, but when I do, it's fish or chicken, so I know that I've been doing the right thing by not re-using it. I usually let my oil cool down and put it back in the original container. Somebody threw my container out, so I'm thinking about pouring it into plastic bags and setting it gently in a box or bag and putting it out with the trash. I saw a video that suggested freezing the oil and then throwing it out. I'll try it.

Thank you for the great tips. ❤

We turn cooking oil into biodiesel for our ,96 Ford f250 ,,7.3 diesel

Some restaurants that I have worked in used to have a color sample kit of sorts which basically amounted to closed vials of colored oil in varying degrees of use, with there being a "reject" sample. What happens eventually with oil used too long is that food will start to look brown and done on the outside, but it is not fully cooked. The other thing is that the fryers will start to emit a burned or smoke smell, which you can smell in the kitchen, and sometimes in the front of the house. To this day, that smell has not left my head and if I walk into a place, I can tell if they are frying with oil near, at, or beyond the reject point.

tip on to make the most of your frying oil: When the vegetable frying oil has gone bad, no reason to dump it. Use it as bar and chain oil for your chainsaw, your neighbours, relatives or friend. Just filter it and remember put it in the right tank, haha 😅. I cut firewood for a living AND i like deep frying so the two undertakings goes unexpectedly goes very well together. Just don't let it sit for several months in the tank as it will hardened over time and might ruin your chainsaw. Good for the environment and your wallet

I grow Kennebec potatoes spec. for french fries, so today I walked through the local grocery in Canada and just about had a heart attack looking at the price of oil: Mazzola was 8, 12, and 18 dollars for a handheld plastic jug!! Ouch.

Thanks for the info. My question is, I have a habit of frying chicken, fish and fries in the same oil... Is this ok? In your opinion.

The Starch trick make old oil looks clean... But I wonder if it reduce or eliminate the compounds that make reused oil be carcenogenic. I bet it do not.

The way I see it, as long as it doesn't go rancid....or smell burnt...or smell bad in any other way, then I keep using it over and over again. I try to store it in a cool place for storage. I always use olive oil....but I buy the non-extra virgin. Just plain olive oil...which should have a higher smoking point than extra virgin (which is likely a thinner olive oil). I just love the taste of olive oil....and don't really like the flavour..or lack of flavour... of the other possible oils, aside from the nutritional downside of certain oils that people seem to think are good for deep frying.

@UncleScottsKitchen

I think you can actually deep fry in REFINED olive oil, but the EVOO has a smoking point that is too low. You can definitely keep using oil as long as it doesn't stink or turn brown, but I start doing lots of sniffing and looking around usage number five or so!

My apologies for posting un unrelated comment. Figured your most recent video should work.

What I did/do to clean my oil if I know I am going to be using it a lot is get a old large ice cream tub put a sieve over it and some kitchen roll or grease paper and use that to filter out any particles so the oil in the tub is clean and looks lighter.

I liked your video and agree that oil can easily be reused. I'm always careful to do as you said. Don't burn the oil, separate fish oil from potato oil, strain (I use a reusable mesh conical coffee filter to get out very small particles) and I always put it in the fridge (it won't ever spoil, as far as I can tell) until it gets too dark. I've read recently that adding a small amount of used oil to your fresh oil causes a reaction that makes the new oil fry crisper than it would normally on first use. Do you have an opinion on that?

Scottso! What do you do in real life? Also, what do you do with all those pans? Do you have a storage unit full of pans?

I saw a video once where corn starch was used to help clean used oil. Particles in the oil and some flavors were allegedly revolved from the oil. To do this the oil was heated, then the corn starch added. Once cleaned, discard the cornstarch matter. Have you heard of this?

Have you ever used fry powder? I used it for a bit in my food truck before I shut down, and I am starting to use it in my 16 pound countertop fryer at home. It seems to help the particulates coagulate, allowing me to more easily filter them out.

I answered the wrong question a second ago and deleted it... here is the better answer: either work well, especially if your place isn't too warm. Fridge would probably give you a little longer oil life, but if you are going to use it up in six weeks or so either should be fine.

@@UncleScottsKitchen Ok. Cool. Thanks.

Thank you found all of this information to be useful. I just bought a 1 gallon deep fryer myself and the first thing we did was a batch of crab cheese puffs are crab cheese rangoons. About 25 to 30 And tossed in a couple store-bought Frozen potstickers 8 of them. My oil looked bad . I let it sit overnight and then I heated it to about 200° and poured it through a coffee filter to clean it. And put it back in the jug. But my one cook oil looked as dirty as your bad oil. Did waiting overnight ruin it? or does heating it up and running it through a coffee filter bad for it? I will buy a metal oil strainer. But I thought a coffee filter being a finer mesh would catch more and leave a cleaner oil on the end. Thank you for your time

going on now 2 months cooking fried chicken over 20 times and still going. add more now here and there. Color is checked on scale as when worked in food industry. Don't waste your oil

If you cook chicken and plan on cooking chicken 2 more times, I don't see a problem using the same oil 3 times if it is chicken you are cooking all 3 times.

This video shows how to make a cornstarch slurry so you can "purify" the oil even further before you strain. Have you tried this method before? If not, hope this helps! I really found your video informative 😊 kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5t1ps6Tc8-qcag.html

You can reuse oil for far, far longer than that. Especially in a home environment.

Star stop being cheap with your oil, cheap vegetable oil like that instead of paying four dollars more for canola oil, which is better for you. Peanut oil and canola oil is the only oil you should be using a deep fryer. Anything else will give you a funky plastic taste, but if you’re used to cooking and eating cheap, then you get what you get
