I just fried shrimp and catfish for supper and would like to save and reuse the oil. How do you guys filter you fry oil?

Most places that sell fish fryers also sell large plastic funnels and cone shaped filters. smile

I bought 6 of the commercial size filter holders off EBay years ago very handy for filtering items.

metal sieve with a fine mesh sold at nearly any grocery store or big box store

most of our frying happens on the grill with a 7 quart dutch oven.so if it is just going to be the next day I just run the sieve around and put the lid on the dutch oven tight.

When I have a big fish fry my fryer takes 4 gallons of oil. I take a 5 gallon bucket and put a paint strainer on the bucket and pour the oil through it. That works for me, then I pour the oil back in the jugs it came in and keep in a cool place till next time. Those stainers are cheap and I get them at the hardware store.

I just pour it back in a one gallon container. Everything settles out itself, then pour it back and leave the settlings in the bottom. No filter needed

If you look in the kitchen tool section at lot stores. They sell little fine wire stainless steel strainer meant to go in sink drains. They fit nice in bottom of most any size funnel. Can screen out the big chunks from your oil pretty quick with them. If you want it cleaner then go threw coffee type filter after. When I'm doing lots fish fries in spring. I usually just pour the oil threw one of the screens back in jug or into another fry pan. I remember my mother just running a screen sieve around in bottom her old electric fryer. putting a lid on and just setting it aside on counter. Might be days before she used it again. Don't know if that was better oil in old days? but I don't recall ever being no rancid tasted. If she thought it was bad she'd dump it start over.
