The smallest amount of water will also cause hot oil to spatter. • It is important to use clean oil when frying. We recommend changing oil after every time you fry. It is possible to fry in the same oil more than once, especially if you are frying mild, non-odorous foods such as vegetables. After you fry something with a distinct odor, such as fish, any foods you fry afterward will take on a similar flavor. For this reason when you prepare a dish like fish and chips you would want to fry the chips first. Any time the oil looks very dark after frying multiple times it is time to change it. Also, the smoking point (temperature when oil will burn) of the oil lowers with each use. • To filter oil for further use, wait until the oil is COMPLETELY cool, about 2 hours after frying. Pour the oil from the designated pouring spout into a container with a funnel lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter to catch any debris. If reusing, store in a closed container in a dark and cool area. • Recommended oils for frying are all vegetable oils, canola oil, peanut oil, or grapeseed oil. Specialty nut oils (walnut, almond, hazelnut, etc.) have a lower smoking point (temperature when oil will burn) so they are not recommended or suggested for deepfrying. We do not suggest frying with nut oils other than peanut oil. • Olive oil is a healthy oil with great flavor, but extra virgin olive oil has a low smoking point and should not be used to deep fry at high temperatures unless it is blended with vegetable oil. Pure olive oil may be used as it imparts a good flavor, but do not fry above the temperature of 360°F. The ratio to fry with extra virgin olive oil is to blend ¼ part extra virgin to ¾ parts vegetable oil. It is never recommended to deep-fry with specialty nut oils such as walnut, sesame, or hazelnut. 2
