Oils

Oil can sometimes be reused. Simply cool the oil after use and filter it through cheesecloth, muslin or a fine strainer into a jar. Cover it tightly and keep in a cool, dry place. If you keep it in the refrigerator, it will become cloudy, but it will clarify again when the oil returns to room temperature. I find oils are best reused just once, which is healthier because constantly reused oils increase in saturated fat content.
