Electric Deep Fryer

Many electric deep fryers now come with a filtration system that will filter out small bits of leftover batter and food floating in your frying oil.  However, if you have a more spartan or older model, you’ll have to filter your oil manually.  Filtering oil is a messy job, but it is necessary to keep your oil fresh and to prevent leftover foods from leaving a bad taste on foods you fry in dirty oil.

First, find a large deep container to store your oil in.  Then get a mesh strainer and place it over the container.  Pour out your dirty oil into the strainer slowly and wait until all the solid particles have filtered out of the oil.  You can then transfer the frying oil back into your Electric Deep Fryer.

This should be done periodically to keep your oil fresh as long as possible.  As long as you filter your oil, avoid excessively high temperatures, and keep your oil covered in the dark, it should last for several months.  You should dispose of frying oil when the oil darkens in color, starts to smell rancid, and becomes thick and viscous.  Stay tuned for our next article on how to properly dispose of frying oil from your Electric Deep Fryer.
