Alison+FollowCornstarch Trick for Cleaner Frying Oil Every TimeMake sure your oil is hot before starting. This is key for the trick to work. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch into 1.5 cups of water until it’s fully dissolved. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into your hot oil and give it a gentle stir. You’ll see a layer start to form at the top after a few minutes. Use your spatula or a slotted spoon to help the gunk come together. Once it’s all collected, scoop it out. Store your clean oil for next time. Personally, I skip reusing oil that’s been used for fish or seafood because of the lingering smell, but that’s just me.

TurboTornado+FollowWhy Don’t Cooking Oils List Smoke Points? It honestly baffles me that cooking oil bottles don’t just print the smoke point right on the label. Last week, I accidentally used olive oil for high-heat frying and the kitchen filled with smoke. Breathing in those fumes can’t be good, and burnt oil definitely ruins the food. With so many types of oils out there, it’s impossible to remember which one is safe for what temperature. Wouldn’t it be safer and easier if the smoke point was right there on the bottle? Feels like such a basic thing that could prevent a lot of mistakes and maybe even some health risks. Why isn’t this standard yet? #FoodSafety #KitchenTips #CookingOil #LabelIt #HomeCooking #Food #Cooking00Share
