About your Deep Fryer Oil

Oil does not last indefinitely, and because it can become rancid it is best to play it safe. As a rule, reuse it one time before disposal, and reuse it within a few weeks after the first use. If it smokes upon heating turns deep brown, or has a foul odor, it is not safe to reuse. Properly disposed of it, wash and dry the deep fryer according to manufacturer directions, and replace it with fresh liquid grease. It is not worth reusing to save a few dollars since it will not provide optimum results. Fried foods will not look appetizing or taste nearly as good as they would with fresh oil.
