resuing oil: Do you guys reuse your oil?

You might also try straining through coffee filters (though it will take longer). You didn't mention it, but if you fry fish and you want to get the oil back to a more neutral flavor for something you're cooking afterwards you can fry a potato to get the fish flavor out.

I just let them drain. Not sure the volume of oil left behind is a big deal.

The same oil can be reused in the BDF500XL Smart Fryer™. We do not recommend keeping it in the fryer for extended period as this is not an air-tight storage container and the oil can go bad.

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

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.

Hello there! I'm sorry to say (or is it good?) that we haven't had the Filter in that long to have to Clean it yet? I believe, but am not sure, that K&N; have their own type of Oil to Re-oil? Not for sure though? Sorry I couldn't be more help. Really like the Filter though! Seems to really help in the Midrange of the Power-band. Good luck! :0)

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

No, you do not have to remove the oil between uses, I leave it in there indefinitely, and continue to fill it as needed

My wife strains the oil while pouring it into a plastic container for re-use.

I have never thought about reusing. This is my first time trying this brand.

I takes less than what comes out of the pump. If you use the full amount, it can/will look oily. Use half the amount that comes out of the pump.

On my Mission 2.0 since there is so much oil pulled to the surface by the rejuvenator,after wiping the oil off, I go over mine lightly with alcohol. Don't know if it's the best but it works for me.

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.

I have not had this problem, however make sure it is not overfilled, and that oil residue is wiped away with a tissue after each use.

It sits in the oil. If you're concerned about cleaning it, I don't consider it a big deal. The heating element is a decent size.
