Improper storage can contribute to the degradation of oil quality.

Brilio.net - Cooking oil is an essential cooking ingredient that is always available in the kitchen. Its function as a heat conductor is very important in the cooking process, from frying, sauting, to baking food. However, frequent and repeated use can cause changes in the quality of cooking oil, such as becoming cloudy, smelling rancid, and unpleasant.

The main cause of changes in the quality of cooking oil is often processing at too high a temperature. In addition, according to thespruce.com, improper storage can also contribute to the decline in oil quality. However, there is a simple solution to overcome the problem of used cooking oil that has gone rancid.

A YouTube user named Ummi Ayu77 shared her experience in overcoming this problem. In her video, she shared how her cooking oil went rancid after being used to fry various types of fried foods. As a result, there was a sediment of flour at the bottom of the pan and the oil became unpleasant. The video then explained an easy way to overcome this problem, providing a practical solution for those facing a similar situation.

Instead of throwing it away immediately, he then solved it by adding 2 kitchen ingredients, namely, coconut shell and sliced ginger.

"The coconut shell has been washed clean and then put in like this. This can attract the toxins in the used cooking oil. If you use ginger yourself, you can make the fried product so it won't have a rancid smell," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Umii Ayu77 on Thursday (10/10).

Fry for a few minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Once it's done, remove the ginger slices and coconut shell with a strainer.

"The important thing when cooking is not to burn it, Mom... if it burns, the oil will taste bitter, Mom," he said further.
