Cooking oil

Hello Everyone:

Sorry that I have been gone so long, but we are still finishing the renovations on our kitchen. What turned out to be a little job has become a very big job. Hopefully it will be done soon.

I do have a question and I know someone will have the answer. How long can you keep left over cooking oil that you have used to deep fry fish? Also, do you need to keep it in the fridge? No one seems to know that answer and I thought someone here would definitely know. So, if you could answer my question, I will be forever grateful. Thanks and I will be in touch more often, once this renovation is done.

Throw the oil out or everything you cook with will taste like fish. Even if you strain it, it might have a old oil taste.

Okay, Dutchy, if you had strained the oil through a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth, into a food safe container with a tight fitting lid, and kept it in the refrigerator, then it would have been good to fry more fish in, for about one month.
After that, the oil tastes rancid. There is always the method of sacrificing a potato, by frying and discarding the potatoes, to remove off oders from the oil, but still, it is only good for more fish.
Don't try this after one month. We don't want to lose you to food poisoning.
Hope this helps you....
