Properly storing cooking oil is crucial to maintaining its quality and prolonging its usability. Here are the ways you can keep your cooking oil fresh and safe. Tap to check!
Store the oil in clean, airtight containers like glass jars or stainless steel containers. Avoid plastic containers as they can absorb odours and flavours.
Label the container with the type of oil and the date it was stored.
Let the oil cool completely after cooking, then strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove food particles.
Store the container in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cabinet, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Do not mix different types of cooking oils, as they can have varying smoke points and flavour profiles.
