like that.

what kind of strainer do you use? I been googling this and not finding anything convenient or cheap. Used a coffee filter once but don't always have something to hold the filter just right. corn oil has gotten expensive.

We use plain veg. oil but I prefer peanut oil. Peanut oil can take higher temps before burning. Usually we leave the oil in the electric fryer until it starts turning dark. When it cools we replace the lid.

We strain our used oil with a paper towel placed in side of a strainer. Gets the oil real clean.

I freeze my used oil and use again and again.

you can buy cone shaped filters and holders at various places. look in bass pro, cabelas, gander, or try a restaurant supply

fridge or freeze makes sense to me thanks shoer and caveman

Fine wire mesh. You use corn oil? I have in a pinch but prefer peanut or plain ol veg oil.
