re: Turkey fry oil

quote:

---

I'll let the oil cool completely after frying and this allows any bits and pieces to sink to the bottom of the pot. When I pour the oil off back into a container I'll strain it through a fine mesh strainer. While sitting until the next use, even more stuff will settle to the bottom of the container and I'll not pour that stuff into the pot on my next use.

Exactly what I've been doing for 25 years.

Because I usually fry a bunch for Thanksgiving, that's when I get new oil. Then I save it using the method quoted above and use it for Christmas, Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, Easter, any time I find an excuse to fry a turkey. Then I use it up frying chicken wings or what not through the summer. Start with a new batch next Thanksgiving.
