Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Because she found a way to reuse everything, Grandma poured the cooking oil through a piece of cheesecloth to strain out any particles. She then put it into a clean bottle and used it for sauteing, but not for deep-fat frying. She said the oil wasn't pure enough to withstand high deep-frying temperatures.
