How often should you change your cooking oil?

Answer 1

Try to estimate how much oil you need to use first before cooking. If you are deep frying, use enough to cover the whole surface of your food. If you are just stir frying, use the suitable quantity enough to cook your food without covering your food. There are no estimate or rules to how many times you should use cooking oil. just estimate. if your estimation is too little for the cooking then add till the quantity is right.

edit: The question was asking how many times you should use the same oil for different foods, again and again - not how much oil you need for something. I use oil several times before changing it, but I usually just bake everything.

Answer 2

In reality, you can use cooking oil more than once. But its not recommended that you reheat oil. Reheating cooking oil causes it to release toxins into the oil, toxins which aren't good for your food, and IIRC in some cases the oil may also become bitter from reheating, but I can't remember where I read that. If you want to get maximum use from your cooking oil, consider cooking some additional food to be frozen while the oil is still hot from its first use.

Answer 3

after one cooking session, unless chips than you can strain/filter it and use once more.

also check for each type of oil you use ie olive, vegetable, corn, sunflower, etc - ususally each has some small quirk in its use, eg dont use top grade olive oil and dont over heat this!
