My mum had a fine grade steel mesh filter as well, that sat on top of a metal jug. Sheâd put a layer of paper towel on top too (she used it to drain freshly fried items). Once it all filtered through sheâd reuse the oil in curries. Nowadays she doesnât fry enough stuff to do this any more. Neither do I.
Though one time I used too much oil when roasting some fennel so I poured the excess oil (infused with dry thyme) off the baking sheet into a glass jar and used it later to fry up onions and garlic and veg for a pasta dish. That was delish.

I used to have a a very fine grade steel mesh filter funnel for oil and then use coffee filters to get out the tiny particles like flour
I donât use enough oil to reuse anymore
