When should I change the oil? What
should I look for?
It is recommended to change the oil every
week if deep fryer is used every day.
If using once or twice a week, the oil can
be changed every three weeks.
There are distinct indicators that will show
you when your oil is no longer deep frying
effectively. These include:
• The surface of the oil will begin to foam
once heated.
• Smoke will appear on the surface of the
oil before the recommended deep frying
temperatures are reached.
• Oils can develop an ‘off’ smell. This
indicates that the oil has become rancid.
• The oil’s odor is that of the foods you
have cooked eg. seafood.
• The oil will change in viscosity, that is,
it will pour slowly and become thick
with a syrupy appearance.
