can you use this strainer for cooking oil

Depending on the size of the particulates in the oil, you may not get all of it out, but you will get a good amount.

Good. I don't think you can go wong. This strainer is very nlce. My husband favors this one over all others he's had for his fish fryer.

Pretty sure the answer is you can use the strainer. The mesh is extremely fine!

SORRY! We use ours for dish washing soap, not oil. Wish I could be more helpful!

Maybe, but I'm not sure how safe that would be. If the oil was only 1/2" deep it might be okay. The temperature should go high enough, but it is not designed for it. I would look at a dedicated deepfryer instead.

Yep! According to the manufacturer's site, the strainer can piece can be removed. Here's what they said: "Easily wash your veggies, fruits, meat, and pasta and filter gravy, sauces, and other liquids with this dual function funnel and strainer. With a removable strainer made of durable, heat resistant silicone, this tool won't warp, rust, or corrode."

Don't see why not, I pour bacon grease into it now and save bacon grease to use in my corn bread. It wouldn't hold to much if your talk about deep fryer oil.

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.

This strainer is not made for liquids ,its not fine enough and it has bigger holes in the middle plastic cylinder ,unless nut milk is thick like joghurt it will not work.

I use it for straining into wide mouth canning jars all the time. It is a perfect fit and would do great in straining kefir! It is such a fine strainer and we use it so much that I am thinking of actually ordering another one.

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

There are many different type mesh strainers and mesh size varies. This strainer is almost as fine as a tea strainer. I mainly use this for making soups, and stocks. It is excellent for skimming fat off the top. The mesh size is perfect for gathering the oils, while letting the precious stock return to the pot. It is also great for straining the stock, but your better off using a coarser sieve first. I honestly don't know how I made it this long without this strainer!

Likely. I deep fry and reuse filtered oil. Larger top prevents spills. Tube easily fits in 1 gallon vegetable oil containers.

Yes! I have used it to fry fish snd stir frys. But the oil gets hotter faster. So be careful using it. I love it.

I just went into kitchen and sifted flour through the small strainer, but I rinsed it out before trying anything else. It worked very well, the rest of the strainers are bigger so they could be used for anything.

Never used it for that purpose, but I suspect that it would do a very good job straining cooking oil.

Hi Faith, I am not sure what you mean by your question as I have never made any oil infusions. The mesh is really fine and will prevent almost any sized particle through to the cup except for very fine powders and grains. I looked at some strainers for oil infusers and I think that this should work for you. I am guessing that you will strain your oil infusion through the strainer? It should be very good for that, but I guess that it might depend on how thick the oil is. Wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I hope that this helps. Regards, Coolahoo
