Title: How do you store "reclaimed oil"?
Post by: matt3333 on October 14, 2008, 09:52 AM

Hi
Can someone please give me some advice on how long you can keep reclaimed oil when skimmed from making a base sauce.
thanks

it  depends on how "clean" filtered it is. i keep mine until i make the next base which is usually 2 wks but often 3 wks. i filter it through a fine plastic sieve and then through a paper towel. i loose a bit in the process but i make more to compensate.

Hi
Thanks thats helpful, I want to try reclaiming the oil from my next base but was interested in how long it kept. 2-3 weeks sounds good to me (presumably in the fridge)
Thanks
