Saving Fry Oil

[Tex_Cattleman]

What are yalls thoughts? I usually chunk it, definitely after frying fish.

But what about other things? Monday I friend chimichangas (cooked chicken fajita meat wrapped in tortilla than fried). Would you save that oil for something else? If so, how do you store between cookings?

For chicken, I typically get a couple uses. Taters, 3-4. Anything breaded is gonna gunk it up pretty quickly. Yup. Nothing worse than french fries that taste like fish.

Cool it, strain it, and back into the jug.

Vegetable oil you toss it. Peanut oil can be re-used

Strain, bottle and freeze

Fats are naturally anti-microbial but the food particles (microscopic and otherwise) that remain after each use will flavor the oil and, if held too long, can become rancid.

I use fry oil three or four times before I discard it. I simply let it cool then pour it back in the original container by pouring it through a funnel lined with a coffee filter.

The only exception to the above is when I fry fish. Unless I know I’m going to be frying fish again, this oil gets discarded right away. There’s nothing worse than fried ocra that tastes “fishy.”

i seldom eat anything fried except at the deer lease. If just using for potatoes i reuse many times, just leave in pot and put lid on it, pour it out when going home. If we fry fish we discard

We keep a fry daddy in the cabinet. Use 3-5 times depending on what was cooked, mostly french fries once or twice a month, then change it out. Unless something like wings with a batter on it, then it's one and done.

Trey, I filter mine back into the jugs and store them in my beer fridge in the garage, but I am not sure how long it lasts...safely.

I tend to keep reusing it indefinitely unless it gets burned/dark. Filtering it helps a lot too but I'm a little lazy for that. Anything breaded or battered I'll scoop the stuff out but old stuff floating in the oil doesn't really bother me.

I reuse mine until it don't pass the smell test. filter it back into the original container...


For frying fish, if you'll save the last batch of taters and fry them after you're done frying fish, the oil can be filtered and reused with no "fishy" odor or taste. Works like a champ.

That and if you are frying a whole mess of fish throw in a whole onion about every other basket and just keep peeling outer layer off each time. Does 2 things, cleans all the batter crusties out of the grease and gives you a fried onion snack too
