How long to you keep oil after frying?

Dispose of the oil and use fresh next time

Fried chicken sounds wonderful

I have the filtration deep fryer and use my oil around 4-5 times before changing.

Dyer's Cafe
"Dyer’s famous burgers are still prepared in the “ageless” grease generated by the cooked burgers each day. This Dyer’s tradition generated myths for over 90 years. The legend has it that the famous Dyer’s grease hasn’t been changed for over 40 years. Truthfully, the method used to cook Dyer’s famous burgers produces new grease from the cooked burgers which is strained, sauteed and flavored every day"

You can use the oil again to fry fish but I wouldn’t use it to fry chicken or fries. But fist decant the oil and get rid of the old batter on the bottom of the pot and replace with a little extra new oil.

I would go all new if I were frying fries or chicken unless you like fries and chicken with fish flavor.

We don’t fry at all.

What point are you trying to make?

You will know when the oil is old. It begins to smell BAD when heated up. That lets you know it is time to change it. Most people describe the smell of sweaty gym socks as what it smells like.

As long as you don't get your oil too hot to where it smokes, it's good for 3 or 4 cookings. For me and the wife, I can get three cookings of fish, french fries and hushpuppies before I change my peanut oil. I strain it in a plastic coffee canister and stick it in the freezer.

The best thing in the world to strain grease - an old worn out T shirt. Cut you a piece to fit inside a metal strainer and there won't be a crumb in your oil when through straining it.
