You mentioned you should not deep fry with the same oil too many times. What oil did you mean? and how many times is safe? thanks Tmissty

Hi Tmissty, for basic frying use groundnut, corn oil or sunflower are also good. They all will take high heat without burning, 180c and above. Personally, changing the oil depends on what is cooked in it, fish taints more rapidly than chips for example. In any event 5 uses would probably be a good guide, but if the oil smells of food when cold, change it sooner. Smile
