Strain it through a few layers of cheesecloth to catch any food particles before storing. Be careful with hot oil, though, because you can easily get burned. Shake off excess batter from food before frying it. Use a good thermometer to fry foods at a maximum of 375Â°F (or 190Â°C). Turn off the heat after you are done cooking. Exposing oil to prolonged heat accelerates rancidity. Don't mix different types of oil. Store oil in a cool, dark place. Avoid iron or copper pots or pans for frying oil that is to be reused.
