Common questions

How long does frying oil (re-used) last in the fridge?

1 month.

Can you freeze frying oil (re-used), and for how long?

Yes. 6–9 months.

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
