Running a restaurant is hard work. With inventory to order, employees to manage, and customers to please, you still need to know when to change your cooking oil and how to properly dispose of it. At SeQuential, we specialize in collecting used cooking oil and turning it into renewable fuel, which allows us to provide clean fuel for communities throughout the West Coast. What’s more, our grease trap maintenance and used cooking oil recycling services help make life a lot easier for restaurant owners. If you are wondering how often you should change your cooking oil or what to do with it, we are here to help.
When to Change the Oil in Your Deep Fryer
Although you can reuse the oil in a deep fryer, old oil with food particles or debris will compromise the taste of what you are cooking. As a general rule of thumb, the oil in a deep fryer can be reused about eight times, but this estimate varies depending on what you are frying, the type of oil you are using, and for how long you use the fryer.
If you observe any of the following, it might be time to change your cooking oil:
- Oil becoming foamy when heated
- A rancid or fishy smell
- Oil releasing smoke when heated
- Significantly darker color than fresh oil
To extend the life of your cooking oil, once cooled, run the used oil through a strainer or filter to separate any leftover food particles or debris. Then, store the filtered oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
