C PROBLEMS
43 If the oil foams and threatens to overflow, there's too much food in the basket (take some out),
the food is too moist (dry it a bit and try again), or the oil is old or contaminated (replace it).
44 Every time oil is heated, it deteriorates.
45 Every time food is put into it, moisture, particles of food and fat, flour and spices from
coatings, water from frozen foods, cause further deterioration.
46 Particles blacken, burn, and stick to the next batch of food, altering its look and taste. Filtering
can alleviate this a bit.
47 Even filtered oil will be past its best after 10 to 12 uses.
48 Pre-cooked and oven chips have a coating of oil from the pre-cooking process. This will
thicken or discolour the oil in your fryer.
49 If you cook coated foods regularly, it might be worth keeping two lots of oil, one for coated
foods and one for "oil-friendly" foods.
50 As a rough guide, if you notice a marked improvement in flavour after changing the oil, you
should have changed it earlier.
51 Your Local Authority will have a depot where old oil can be taken for recycling or
environmentally friendly disposal.
