Cleaning cooking oil

This technique cleans and washes deep-fryer oil, making a much cleaner oil you can reuse.

Servings: Only one, but notice the directions closely.

1 C used cooking oil

¼ C water

1 TBSP Cornstarch

For every cup of oil, whisk together the water and corn starch in another container.

Add the mixture to the cooled oil in a large enough pot on the stove.

Gently heat on low heat, careful not to simmer.

Stir constantly with a heat proof utensil until the cornstarch begins to thicken.

Pour oil through a fine-mesh strainer, leaving the glob of starch behind.

Oil is ready to use!

Don't worry if oil appears cloudy after this process. It will clear up when reheated.
