Reusing deep fryer oil
Comments

I think something bad happens to the chains of fatty acids in oils when they are heated over and over to high temperatures...
Saturated fats are more stable, I think. So yes, animal fat like lard or dripping would be safer and no they aren't unhealthy, the saturated fat myth is being largely debunked now.
Personally, I have been toying with the idea of a fryer for years but as I can't really justify the cost in oil/fat I just oven bake home chips.June Grocery Challenge £493.33/£500 July £/£500

I wouldn't have one in the house because I enjoy real chips too much, I'd make them far too often.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0
