Hi All

I want to make breaded vegs using a deep fryer or pan depending on how much
I'll make.

After the cooking should/could I rebottle the used oil or does one discard
it? (I may want to fry more the next day)
TIA!

You can filter it through a paper towel to get any bits out and reuse
it, yes.

I've used funnels and put in a custom-cut paper towel after folding it
into fourths, but filter paper as used in chemistry would work too.

Strain the oil, and put it back in the bottle. Be sure you don't use
it for fine salad dressing. :-) Depending on what you're cooking, you
can re-use oil several times. However, at deep-fry temperatures, it
gradually "breaks down" (don't have the specifics right now), and
becomes unsuitable. Re-using once or twice should be no problem.

To use the next day, I rebottle the oil in a new bottle, do NOT mix it with
unused oil. And I only reuse it once, then dispose of safely (not down the
drain).
