Leftover Frying Oil: Don't Risk Cancer! Clean & Store It Safely

• Repeatedly heating cooking oil forms harmful substances like trans fats and free radicals, increasing risks of digestive issues, obesity, heart problems, and cancer.
• Oil structure changes on high heat; discard if it becomes very dark, emits a strong odor, or shows burnt particles.
• To clean leftover oil, let it cool completely, then strain out burnt particles using a sieve or cloth to remove impurities.
• Remove cloudiness or odor by mixing arrowroot powder with water, adding it to the oil, heating gently, and then straining again.
• Store cleaned oil in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place after it cools completely to maintain its quality.
