HINTS FOR USING AND STORING OIL

Cooking with oil
Therefore:
• Do not mix different cooking oils.
• Only use fresh and clean cooking oils:
- Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying.
- After use and before storage, filter oil with a fine-mesh filter to remove smaller particles.
- Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavored food.
- Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when
frying, thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.
Do not use the cooking oil anymore if you notice any of the following:
• Before use: oil smells rancid or its color has visibly darkened.
• While frying: oil is foaming strongly or smoke appears on the oil's surface at normal operation temperature.
Storing oil
• Do not store used cooking oil in the refrigerator. Choose a cool place that is not subject to sunlight. Generally, oil may be stored for a period of 3 months, once the
bottle is opened. Please observe the oil manufacturer's storage directions as well.
