Kitchen Tricks: Reuse Leftover Frying Oil Safely and Smartly

• Always let leftover frying oil cool completely before straining to prevent spoilage.
• Strain oil thoroughly using a fine sieve or clean cloth to remove food particles.
• Store strained oil in a glass or steel container away from sunlight to maintain quality.
• Check oil for foul odor or dark color before reuse; discard if signs of spoilage are present.
• Reuse oil at most once for cooking; alternatively, use for pest control in plants or polishing wood/iron.
