can you reuse oil in a deep fat fryer?

Answer 1

Absolutely. Mom used to change it when it started getting little particles in the grease. She never refrigerated it, she just put the lid on the deep fryer and used it again later. The fat does go bad, so you do have to change it, I would say every 4-5 uses. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Not only can you reuse it. But, it's wasteful if you don't. You can resuse it until it turns rancid.

You'll want to strain any particles floating around in the oil. If you previously used the oil to fry something that left behind an odor/flavor, such as fish or onions, all you need to do is cut up and fry a potato in the oil. Potatoes "clean" oil, by absorbing flavors/odors.

Answer 3

so long because the oil is filtered each and each day it may very last for a lengthy time period relying on use. The fryers that prepare dinner the French fries and fish will burn faster as they have better quantities of water further because of the ingredients and the water is the significant merchandise which will damage down the oil. at the same time as i changed into cooking in a severe volume eating position we replaced it a week or at the same time as it began to get darkish or smoked at 350 ranges

Answer 4

It depends on what you fried in it. If it was fish no, because the fish taste will penetrate any of the other food you cook in it. If it was for something like donuts or onion rings you could safely strain it (preferable through some cheese cloth over a fine mesh strainer) and keep it tightly covered, refrigerated, then reuse it.

Answer 5

you can, just make sure that it is still good. You'll be able to tell from the smell. Hopefully you had it in the fridge. I wouldn't use it more than 4 times. Plus if you deep fried any fish I would not reuse it.

Answer 6

Sure as long as its not months old . I have reused for fries multiple times in a few weeks time. You can tell if its bad. I wouldnt fry fish and a week later use it for fries. But it will have a very foul smell if its bad.

Answer 7

Yes but make sure it is good and clean all little floaters out. But don't use the same oil more than a few times. also it depends on what you fry in it, like don't fry ummm lets say french frys in the same oil as fish stick, it will give it a nasty taste.

Answer 8

Yes, it can be re-used but you need to store it safely.
It will pick up flavours from anything strong like fish.
It can also be filtered through paper towels in a strainer.
Ultimately, it can be used for bio-diesel fuel afterwards.

Answer 9

YEP! Restaurants re-use theirs all the time. It actually makes it more flavorful. And you DON'T need to refrigerate it.
