You might laugh at this. Never in my whole life of cooking (50 odd years) have I deep fried anything until recently. What do you do with the oil afterwards?

Wait till it is cold, strain and put into bottle till next time. When it becomes scody, put in rubbish. I deep fry maybe once a year, as not really into deep fried foods.

Depends what you cook in it, if you cook fish dont cook donuts in the same oil next time, cool and strain for reuse, cool and put in the old oil container and the rubbish when its really old, dark or smells.

I never deep fry, I use two or three tablespoons to fry and it seems to just disappear!

That is one of the reasons I don't deep fry. If I did, I'd use lard/duckfat/dripping, not oil. That way I could 'wash' it clean and reuse.

Auckland City Council directions for cooking oil disposal:

"small amounts of household cooking oil (under 500ml) can be disposed of in a sealed non-recyclable container in the household rubbish bin."
