  That 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.

    Here in Belgium nearly every household has a friteuse to make fries.

      Wow, I just bake them, I’m sure it’s not as good though.

  My parents could keep that going for a good long time by filtering it through a few layers of kitchen paper, it got rid of a lot of the burnt stuff, came out quite clear each time.

    Don’t they warn against reusing too much because it breaks down into carcinogens?

      Probably, but don’t most things these days go out of their way to kill us anyway? 😅

    I 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.

  I just got a deep fryer literally two days ago how often should I change the oil?

    They say around around 10 uses or a max of three months, depending on how often you use it.

    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.

        Most importantly, old oil can have a lower smoke point than is safe. Definitely replace your oil if anything starts to taste burnt.

    Drain it through a filter and refrigerate it if you aren’t using it constantly. It’ll go rancid pretty quick.
