[@JohnDoebr47]

Using starch to clean oil by removing solid particles (like food debris) does not eliminate the toxic compounds formed when oil is repeatedly heated. High temperatures cause chemical changes in the oil, producing harmful substances like trans fats and aldehydes, which can't be removed with simple filtration. Even if the oil looks clean after filtering, it may still contain these toxic compounds, so it's best to avoid reusing oil too many times.

[@bsmeaker]

I figure even with a technique like this it's probably only good for one extra use, depending.

[@gooddogtrainingservices5351]

Heating oil to its smoke point is when the dangerous chemicals are activated. Keep whatever you are deep frying between 350-375 is the safest. I discard mine after two uses three at the most depending on what I’ve cooked in it.

[@diddy103177]

The issue with used oil is whether it’s been broken down, because it was heated past its smoke point. If that happens it’s unhealthy to use because harmful toxins are released. Simply filtering burnt particulates wont fix that.

[@user-pi3hd2bt3f]

Oil heated past its smoking point usually tastes really bad and turns black. This is a hack for good oil

[@travisabr1294]

Different oils have different smoke points. Most people account for this in their recipes. High heat oils such as canola and peanut: low heat oil such as olive oil.

[@yoyoyo3531]

Better to just use coconut oil or animal fats like lard, beef tallow all have higher smoke points and much healthier than seed oils

Yes, frying oil can be reused, but there are some things to keep in mind: How many times to reuse The number of times you can reuse oil depends on the type of oil, what you've fried in it, and how well you strain it. Some recommend reusing oil up to three times, while others say you can reuse it up to eight times. When to discard You should throw away oil if it: Looks cloudy or foamy Has a foul odor or taste Smells rancid or musty Smokes before it reaches frying temperature Has been stored for more than 1-2 months the oil becomes increasingly unstable, losing health benefits and generating more toxins with each use Liver damage is not worth it!

Large mesh strainer with a large coffee filter in it, placed over a glass measuring jar. Pour warm oil into the coffee filter and let the filter do it's job. By the time it slowly filters through, it should be cool enough to store in a glass jar. Can be used 2 to 4 times depending on what you cooked in it and how hot the oil was while it cooked. 😊👍🏼

[@bmore7823]

Try to only reuse cooking oil three or less times to avoid formation of trans fats. The molecular structure of the fats in oil becomes more unstable the more it is heated which cannot be undone.

Hi Pam, if you sieve it instead you'll extend the useful life of the oil. Besides the residue left after frying, putting your oil through heating cycles damages it because it helps the oil polymerize. Besides that, adding water makes your oil to become rancid faster.

[@crazyAZNrae]

Oh my goodness 🤯😱 I was wondering why you can't just strain it, but now that I see what the corn starch can do, I am thoroughly impressed and excited! Even when I used my finest sieve there would still be little specks and particles. I can't wait to try this myself!!

[@marianmcclellan6527]

As someone who lost both of my grandparents at a young age and who’s surviving grandparents live far far away I love your videos because it feels like I’m spending time with my grandma again

[@mrlondon963]

Why don't you just warm up the oil and pour it into a sieve covered with a piece of kitchen towel. Works all the time.

[@MukaddesAtlgan]

@@mrlondon963 lot easier

[@chloes7497]

My grandma always used to clean her cooked oil , I couldn’t remember how she did it and neither could my mom , thank you for this video!

[@gaw9419]

Use cheesecloth or a fine strainer. Don't gunk up the garbage dumps with unnecessary waste.

[@lovelyrich54]

​@@gaw9419 I remember always seeing my great aunt do it that was as well.

[@usafsgt]

My Grannie and Mom and other older generation clean oil by frying sliced potatoes.. Sometimes dirty oil fry well, it's already seasoned..🙉🙈🙊 STL MO🇺🇸☔

[@BetaTestaburger]

By doing it this way instead of being able to reuse it about 10x you will only be able to use it 5x for actual frying. It's better to just strain it.

[@thabsilenkosi4116]

I remember my grandmother used to clean oil by boiling it too to remove the dirt and reduce the smell of used oil but I can't remember how

But heated oil becomes almost toxic after cooled or used over a couple of hours, even if it's "clean"... Always use new oil and never reheat.

[@Johnny_the_5]

I'll stick to using fresh oil also.

[@tukes1234]

That sounds like a globalist.

[@BSimpson1998]

​@tukes1234 removing debris doesn't make oil "clean".

[@DeeandCeeT]

Any seed oil cleaned or new is toxic either way to be honest…

[@zapperbunny1]

That’s why I use lard or tallow . All seed oil are poisonous anyway even before it is heated and cooled.

Your presence brings me comfort 🥺

[@jharris5871]

Thank you!! No more waste. Wonderful tip, Ms. Pam❤

[@pandi3111]

Dear Granny, We live in a world where many people are already struggling with various health issues. Using reusable cooking oil might save a little cost initially, but it could potentially lead to more significant health expenses if people develop diseases from its use. It's important to consider the long-term health implications and encourage people to use fresh oil instead. This way, they can maintain better health and avoid additional medical costs. Let's help everyone live a healthier life. Have a great Day !

[@Angel.Kariba]

But she didn't say reuse it a gazillion times, even if you're reusing only once, you don't want those bits of food in there!

Why not strain it? Won’t it be easier to?

[@CookingAtPamsPlace]

Straining gets the bigger particles out but it doesn’t clean it. Thanks

[@susiex6669]

​​@@CookingAtPamsPlaceYou can strain it through a filter made for straining oil. The smallest particles just deposit to the bottom and stay there. I do this with the oil I use for frying popcorn chicken. Never had an issue.

[@CookingAtPamsPlace]

I strain mine too but when I do this first it continues to have better color like when it’s first used. Thanks

[@minajones4834]

​@CookingAtPamsPlace You're absolutely right. Straining it does not clean it at all!! I have been straining it for over 20 years. I'm going to start cleaning it now. Thanks to you, Pam!!❤❤

Actually you really shouldn't be reusing oil all that much as it can become carcinogenic.

For how long can you save it or how many times can you reuse it? From your personal experience

@@lillylove3331 I wouldn't go with anyone's personal experience on this one but the National Library of Medicine has some good articles on it

I've been reading through comments to find this one. That's what I thought... reused oil is bad for your health.

[@lovelyrich54]

​​@@tumiphasha3291If you use it to many times it can be in my opinion. I have seen people keep oil forever at friends houses growing up. I used to think "oh heck no!" My aunt who I lived with used her for a max of 3 times which she filtered each time. That's just what she did, everybody is different of course.
