    For me it’s mostly the deep fryer. When I change the oil it takes about 4 1/2 liters to refill.

      That makes sense, I didn’t imagine that many people bother deep frying at home, but I guess I’m wrong :D

      But in this case people are describing adding a little oil to a bottle at a time where with deep frying you could fill a bottle every time I think.

      My parents could keep that going for a good long time by filtering it through a few layers of kitchen paper, it got rid of a lot of the burnt stuff, came out quite clear each time.

        I use paper coffee filters in a metal strainer.

        Takes a while, but the oil comes out clear and back to its original colour and flavour after 2 passes.

        They say around around 10 uses or a max of three months, depending on how often you use it and what you’re frying.

        For me personally I tend to stretch it a bit further… the main thing is that it isn’t rancid or starting to get too dark.

        Drain it through a filter and refrigerate it if you aren’t using it constantly. It’ll go rancid pretty quick.
