I have a deep fryer with a very convenient draining spout, and I have no
problem getting the burned or flaky bits of coating, etc., out of the used oil (I use a mesh coffee basket I've dedicated to the fryer). But I'd like to get as much use out of the recycled oil as possible. So what do you do with the filtered used oil? Put it in a separate container? Refrigerate it? Put it in a cool, dry place? TIA... |

Dump the filtered, used oil back into the clean fryer and put the lid on it, then I refrigerate the whole thing. I have the space to store the fryer pot in the refrigerator but if you don't, I'd try a jar. Do refrigerate it between uses or it'll go rancid. I get 4 to 5 uses out of each batch of oil with only having to add a small amount each time to bring it up to the pot's fill level. After that, it starts adding an "off" flavor to the food depending on what you have cooked. Seafood and brocolli will do it more than anything else IME. Om |

I've been using peanut oil and yes, it does become semi-solid when refrigerated but that does not matter. It re-liquifies on heating.... Om |
