Isn’t used cooking oil often used in biodiesel engines?
Thank u from 50 yr old in Queensland Australia
How about never! Vegetable oil at high heat even once turns to trans fat! Thats once! If you want heart failure by 50! Crack on! This stuff is toxic! Crazy how people still dont know this!
Haven’t changed my oil in 2 years and had no issues.
vegetable oil should not be used once. it is industrial sludge. pure poison. and it is not stable in natural form. and turns unstable when heated.
use lard it can go extreme high temperature, if they are grass fed it is very healthy fat.
lard you can filter it, use indefinetely. it is naturally stable and stays this way.
other alternative is coconut oil but this has a temp limit near 180c, where most fry at so i woulnd’t. but it is a stable fat.
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! 💜
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.
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?
You can reuse oil for far, far longer than that. Especially in a home environment.
Actually dont use oil more than 1-3 times. A singapore tv channel did a taste test and it found xustomers rated fresh fried foodstuff highest and it was a much lower score for the oil reused 10 times.
At 10 times the oil had more aldehydes which are carcinogens or cancer causing chemicals. Also , the food became oilier as the oil was absorbed more into the food.
So i would say in toto , avoid fried foods. If you wish , make the fried food at home so it is in small batches and is safe and no reused oil is required.
It’s not worth risking your heart for a few bites fo your favourite crispy food. In school we learned fried foods are at the bottom of the ladder and are not required or a part of the balanced diet.
I know it mich seem like a cultural change for some but your body will thank it especially for people who suffer ailments like obesity and all the myriad related condition that come with it or are exacerbated by it.
Stay healthy folks, cook your own food. Exclude fried food completely from restaurants and only eat once to thrice a week fried foods in a meal.
Mcdonals only reuses oil three hundred times. They have high standarts…
Ok, seriously… Old fry oil could be used for heatig. The burn is not clean and produces CO2, but a liter of oil poluts 100 liters of water and oild decomposition creates lits of methane which is dozen times worse for global warming than CO2.
Canola is NOT vegetable oil. Lookup rapeseed to see what canola is. I will never use it
I’ve used the same refrigerated oil for 40 years.
Thanks uncle lol very thorough explanation, I just started using oil and was wondering the re-use
Do not harm your health while trying to save money, reusing frying oil after a certain point is a serious health hazard. it depends on many things and not applicable everywhere
Rancid Oil is the best
We turn cooking oil into biodiesel for our ,96 Ford f250 ,,7.3 diesel
I use peanut oil, it’s cheaper.
My neighbors must be using rancid oil because the smells coming out of their house are disgusting.
All cooking oil is not the same and no one ever tells you what type of oil is being used.
Dang, I’ll bet the stove costs more than my house. Does it make you a better cook? I cook on a $100 second hand electric stove. Will a $200 stove make my terrible cooking better than it is now? If so I’m gonna start saving up!
Remember when a gallon of oil was like 2$
Hello! I have that same t fal deep fryer (from your review video). Do you have any advice on cleaning the actual oil storage box?
Hell yeah Uncle Scott. Thanks
Thank you for the great tips. ❤
0 times if want to avoid diabetes, heart problems and obesity
i use a regular funnel to pour used oil into my jug when it is cooled off
and when i use it again i use a metal mesh strainer when i pour my oil from my jug into the fryer
so i can be the "hero" and get that last dab
You can use FryOil as many times as you’re brave enough to use it… I know from first hand experience.
That being said, I do change it out occasionally. I wish Peanut oil was cheaper.
Use the new revolutionary product called beyond oil it will save you a ton of money and much healthier then just filtering your oil.
going on now 2 months cooking fried chicken over 20 times and still going. add more now here and there. Color is checked on scale as when worked in food industry. Don’t waste your oil
I don’t deep fry very often so I actually freeze my oil after using it, it lasts a very long time frozen.I use my oil three times if its for chicken and several times for the clean stuff.
Evil seed oils, no thanks. Use tallow
Great vid. So my one-and-done chicken wings oil I should pour back in original container and just…throw away? Is that environmentally sound? I honestly don’t know.
thanks sir
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.
Really only one use when frying chicken? That sucks.
Can you remove the health hazard from free radicals and transgat from filteration process health risk is high noo
I’m interested to know how you go about clean up after? Your sink looks pretty small and I couldn’t imagine it would be good times washing up large fryer parts in there..
Man eatingdeep frying food all the time & has the audacity to say he eats clean 😑
Well done and very informative video… thanks for sharing.
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.
Thank you found all of this information to be useful. I just bought a 1 gallon deep fryer myself and the first thing we did was a batch of crab cheese puffs are crab cheese rangoons. About 25 to 30 And tossed in a couple store-bought Frozen potstickers 8 of them.
My oil looked bad . I let it sit overnight and then I heated it to about 200° and poured it through a coffee filter to clean it. And put it back in the jug. But my one cook oil looked as dirty as your bad oil. Did waiting overnight ruin it? or does heating it up and running it through a coffee filter bad for it? I will buy a metal oil strainer. But I thought a coffee filter being a finer mesh would catch more and leave a cleaner oil on the end. Thank you for your time
Star stop being cheap with your oil, cheap vegetable oil like that instead of paying four dollars more for canola oil, which is better for you. Peanut oil and canola oil is the only oil you should be using a deep fryer. Anything else will give you a funky plastic taste, but if you’re used to cooking and eating cheap, then you get what you get
Claude ordeeshka!I only bought my deep fat fryer a month ago,to fry chips.i’ve already had to change the Oli three or four times for seven fries and now it stopped working altogether! last night!something must be wrong!
Beyond oil
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.
Great video. Thanks. But how do you dispose of the oil?
If I fry fish of other odorous foods, I always fry potatoes. The potatoes absorb all those flavors and clean the oil.
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.
only one time for "strong food"??? that’s ridiculous sir, for example if i fry fish i will reuse that oil a few more times but keep it for only fish frying, for chicken i will do the same and can reuse it one or a couple more times say for fish or something else and there are a few methods to clean up your oil but i can see perhaps you are a bit too anal about your oil if you say that third container is no good anymore because i would still be using it lol
