How long can you keep it ?
1. For single used oils, cover the fryer - 6-7 days


How often should you change it ?

You should change it when..

1. When the uses oil turning into cloudy or dark in colour
2. When insect swimming dies in your oil
3. When you wanna fry a doughnut but the oil had been used to fried fish ( don't threw the oils keep it to fry fish tomorrow)
4. When you wanna fry a chicken but the oil had been used to fried fish.
(but you can use oils after you fried chicken to fried fish)

oil gets better with age,,, keep in the refrig

3 times is my limit. I keep the oil that i fry fish in separate to the oil i would fry chicken in.

if u cook fries and they come out a blackish color than it is time for a change

Although many families for generations chose to save oil that was used and reuse it later for frying up another meal I have never done so. My mother however does. I have read up on cooking oils in the past and since learning a bit about what happens to oil when it is stored I have decided that oil is cheap enough to just replace. Besides that I don't use cooking oil very much at all. Here are some links to give you different points of view. I hope you take note of health risks associated with storing oil that you may not have known about.

But, my opinion, throw it out and just buy new oil... it's the safest way to cook your foods (in my opinion).
Here are the links:

i change it after three tims of using if i fry potato or vegtables if chiken or fish especially fish i change it directly cuz it would capture all the aromas and the tast of the fish

The way I see it, if it can live in boiling oil, evolution mandates that it *deserves* to kill me.

Seriously, my mum changed her frying pan oil once a year, if that, and when I had a chip pan I did the same. Nobody died. And the chips were amazing.
