Deep Fryers ---- Do You Save the Oil?
Been thinking of a deep fryer, mostly for oysters and shrimp; just the wife and I. Boy, they use a lot of oil; do you throw the oil away after each use?

I will use the oil several times. Depending on what I have been frying, when finished I will then cut up a few potatoes and fry them. The potatoes will actually 'clean' the grease and remove any strong taste and odor. I can usually get away with this a couple of times, letting me use the oil 3 or so times. This method usually doesn't work though if the oil has gotten too hot and burned. Once the oil has cooled down I then strain into the original container and store until the next use. Tim
