minus-squareGJdanlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·4 months agoThat makes sense, I didn’t imagine that many people bother deep frying at home, but I guess I’m wrong :D But in this case people are describing adding a little oil to a bottle at a time where with deep frying you could fill a bottle every time I think.

minus-squareLinusSexTips@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoProbably, but don’t most things these days go out of their way to kill us anyway? 😅
minus-squaremasterofn001@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 months agoI use paper coffee filters in a metal strainer. Takes a while, but the oil comes out clear and back to its original colour and flavour after 2 passes.
minus-squareBizzle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoI just got a deep fryer literally two days ago how often should I change the oil?
minus-squareJay@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-24 months agoThey say around around 10 uses or a max of three months, depending on how often you use it and what you’re frying. For me personally I tend to stretch it a bit further… the main thing is that it isn’t rancid or starting to get too dark.
minus-squareTlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoMost importantly, old oil can have a lower smoke point than is safe. Definitely replace your oil if anything starts to taste burnt.
minus-squareikidd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoDrain it through a filter and refrigerate it if you aren’t using it constantly. It’ll go rancid pretty quick.
