Can you reuse the oil? This might be a dumb question... Is it OK to leave the oil in the pot for a few days, so that it can be reused at a later time? How many times can you reuse the oil?

Not a dumb question at all. Seriously, you are going to bring that oil back up to over 400 degrees again before you cook food in it. No bacterias are going to live through that process. The draining and straining of the oil between cooking sessions is more for flavor than safety. I leave the grease in my fryer between uses just like my grandmother did. Strain it as often as needed depending on what types of foods you're cooking.

We have also tried this, and left the oil in the fryer for about more than ten days and reused it several times during that period and no problem has occured. I am not a health expert and I do not want to cause any problems for anyone. All I am saying is we have done it and have not experienced any problems yet.

I have used the oil 3 times before I discarded it. Any the used oil was still great! I really enjoy my deep fryer.

I use solid oils and leave in at all times. About once a year, or if I cook fish, I strain the grease and put it back after I have cleaned the unit.

Easy...the aluminum pot inside the Cool Daddy easily pulls out for your convenience to dispose of the oil, and then once washed place the aluminum pot back in the Cool Daddy for your next use. It just lifts right out.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

Love the pan. Just make sure you keep it seasoned well. Oil shouldn't build up, you clean it and season it after each use. At least I do.

No. What I do is wait till the oil cools then pour it into a glass measuring cup and wash it out. After u dry the unit pour the oil back into the unit but only the clear oil. I clean after each use and bring up to oil line and this is good for at least 4 times than I start with new oil. I bought this for my son and had to tell him the same thing and it saves on oil. Note Do not do this if cooking fish it holds the taste.

Yes...We leave oil in the fryer and store (unless it's dirty of course). It's a great fryer!

There is no definitive way to decide when your oil needs changing. Generally...every 7-10 uses. I refrigerate my oil (peanut), and depending on the visible "cloudiness" of the oil usually change it out every 8-10 uses.

No you cant leave it running 100% of the time its not meant for oil use. The Machine will give out if you leave it running for to long....Cycles are 5 min, 10 min, 20 min & 30 min cycles.

I have not used the container I bought yet. But, I normally do not keep used, filtered oil for more than a month.

I do, I do! Lol, I use it almost every morning for 15-20 minutes. Our house is a bit cool in the mornings so it's hard when I scoop it out with a soup spoon, but after about 20 seconds it's all liquid. In case you haven't done oil pulling before make sure not to swallow ANY of it and don't spit it out in your sink. It will cause your sink to clog when it gets under 74 degrees. I spit mine out in the toilet. Hope this helps, and my unsolicited advice is always free. ;)

Well I use my oil a few times then throw it out! It's not healthy to reuse over and over again!

You can reuse until it's gone, but be sure to keep it clean because of bacteria. I only dip the stick in the wax once each time and use a new one each time because I don't want to contaminate the whole entire container. Yes it's a waste of the application sticks, but at least I am minimizing the bacterial growth in the wax.

We filter the oil through a few layers of cheesecloth and have been able to reuse the same oil 4 or 5 times over 2 years. We are now planning to recycle the oil after it's next use. I've heard to expect about 1 year, but as long as it's filtered and not burned or rancid, it should be good to go again.

i used two gallons and you can recycle the oil once your done for either half a year or i would say no more than 6 time when it starts turning brown switch out

you could use it but it might be alittle messy trying to clean it later.with the oil you can leave it in there and reuse it again.i only use corn oil and canola oil so i really don't know much about the solid fats.
