Oil (vegetable)

  • Use for deep frying
    • 400–450° smoke point
  • You can use frying oil 3–5 times
    • Bring oil to room temp
    • In a separate container, make a cornstarch slurry with 1 C water and 2 T cornstarch
    • Pour slurry into oil and stir
    • Bring back to medium heat and keep stirring
    • Slurry will bind with the gunk and will all float to the top, allowing you to strain it out
