how to remove oil from your fryer
Before removing oil from your fryer ALWAYS switch off, unplug and allow the oil
to cool completely.
1. You will need a slotted spoon, a suitable tray or large plate, kitchen paper, a funnel or
jug with a pouring lip, muslin (if reusing the oil), and the original oil bottle you saved
earlier! If you’ve thrown it away, any suitable sized bottle with a lid will do.
2. Using a slotted spoon, skim off any food scraps oating on the surface of the oil.
3. If you have used it, remove the basket from your fryer and place it on kitchen paper
to drain.
4. Line the drip tray with kitchen paper. Carefully remove the control panel/heating
element assembly and place it on a drip tray.
5. Next, place the oil bottle in the sink, remove its cap and place the funnel in the top. If
you wish to reuse the oil, line the funnel with a piece of muslin to act as a lter.
6. With the rounded edge of the fryer facing away from you, grip the rim of the
removable frying bowl with both hands and carefully lift it out of the body. Take it over
to the sink and pour the oil from the rounded end of the bowl slowly into the bottle
through the funnel. Alternatively, pour the oil into a jug with a pouring lip and use this
to transfer the oil into the bottle.
Do not attempt to pour the oil from the fryer straight into the bottle—you’ll only end up
spilling the oil!
7. When all the oil has been poured into the bottle, remove the funnel (discard the
muslin, if used), and replace the bottle cap. The oil can now either be stored for
reuse, or discarded safely and cleanly.
8. You can now clean your fryer—see page 16.
Always dispose of the oil in an environmentally safe way. Never pour the oil into
drains. Contact your recycling centre for advice on the disposal of the oil.
