The most in-depth, detailed and useful cooking information on YouTube, gained from actual use and hard experience over time rather than the other superficial "How-to's" so rampant on YouTube.

Heating oil to frying temps changes the nature of the oil from relatively healthy to unhealthy. There are many nutrition videos that cover how monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils can turn to trans fats when heated too much.

This video was very, very informative. I don't fry much, but when I do, it's fish or chicken, so I know that I've been doing the right thing by not re-using it. I usually let my oil cool down and put it back in the original container. Somebody threw my container out, so I'm thinking about pouring it into plastic bags and setting it gently in a box or bag and putting it out with the trash. I saw a video that suggested freezing the oil and then throwing it out. I'll try it.

Some restaurants that I have worked in used to have a color sample kit of sorts which basically amounted to closed vials of colored oil in varying degrees of use, with there being a "reject" sample. What happens eventually with oil used too long is that food will start to look brown and done on the outside, but it is not fully cooked. The other thing is that the fryers will start to emit a burned or smoke smell, which you can smell in the kitchen, and sometimes in the front of the house. To this day, that smell has not left my head and if I walk into a place, I can tell if they are frying with oil near, at, or beyond the reject point.

I can't wait to try this hack! 🔥 Speaking of kitchen tips, Honey Lavender Magic is my go-to for minor burns. A handy home remedy that I always keep on hand! 💜

I've used a coffee filter in the funnel to filter particulate. Definitely takes more patience/time though.

tip on to make the most of your frying oil: When the vegetable frying oil has gone bad, no reason to dump it. Use it as bar and chain oil for your chainsaw, your neighbours, relatives or friend. Just filter it and remember put it in the right tank, haha 😅. I cut firewood for a living AND i like deep frying so the two undertakings goes unexpectedly goes very well together. Just don't let it sit for several months in the tank as it will hardened over time and might ruin your chainsaw. Good for the environment and your wallet

I grow Kennebec potatoes spec. for french fries, so today I walked through the local grocery in Canada and just about had a heart attack looking at the price of oil: Mazzola was 8, 12, and 18 dollars for a handheld plastic jug!! Ouch.

The Starch trick make old oil looks clean... But I wonder if it reduce or eliminate the compounds that make reused oil be carcenogenic. I bet it do not.

[jakealden]

Great video. Thanks. But how do you dispose of the oil?

[joeidaho]

The way I see it, as long as it doesn't go rancid....or smell burnt...or smell bad in any other way, then I keep using it over and over again. I try to store it in a cool place for storage. I always use olive oil....but I buy the non-extra virgin. Just plain olive oil...which should have a higher smoking point than extra virgin (which is likely a thinner olive oil). I just love the taste of olive oil....and don't really like the flavour..or lack of flavour... of the other possible oils, aside from the nutritional downside of certain oils that people seem to think are good for deep frying.

Haven't changed my oil in 2 years and had no issues.

Hi Uncle Scott, I'm a fan of all your Carbon steel videos. Can you please review the MINERAL B PRO Carbon Steel Country Fry Pan?

I liked your video and agree that oil can easily be reused. I'm always careful to do as you said. Don't burn the oil, separate fish oil from potato oil, strain (I use a reusable mesh conical coffee filter to get out very small particles) and I always put it in the fridge (it won't ever spoil, as far as I can tell) until it gets too dark. I've read recently that adding a small amount of used oil to your fresh oil causes a reaction that makes the new oil fry crisper than it would normally on first use. Do you have an opinion on that?

[jdhsingi]

I saw a video once where corn starch was used to help clean used oil. Particles in the oil and some flavors were allegedly revolved from the oil. To do this the oil was heated, then the corn starch added. Once cleaned, discard the cornstarch matter.
Have you heard of this?

[Mrluvya]

Thanks for the info. My question is, I have a habit of frying chicken, fish and fries in the same oil... Is this ok? In your opinion.
