There’s no need to toss out perfectly good oil after you’ve cooked up a batch of fries. Eventually, you will have to ditch it, but Serious Eats shows us how we can lengthen the number of times we can reuse frying oil until that point.
J. Kenji López-Alt explains the basics of deep frying, oil freshness, and more, including these tips to increase the lifespan of oil:
Use a thermometer. You don’t want to overheat or underheat the oil, as both can decrease the oil’s lifespan. (Don’t have a thermometer? You may be able to use a wooden spoon, popcorn kernel, or grain of rice instead.)
Clean the oil periodically as you fry by using a mesh strainer to pick up batter or breading bits.
Stick with battered foods or bare vegetables. Breaded or flour-drenched foods add more impurities to the oil than battered ones.
