Brilio.net - Nowadays, there are many sophisticated frying tools on the market that allow the frying process to be done without oil. However, for some people, buying such tools requires capital that is not necessarily economical. So, many still cook various fried foods using a frying pan and oil on the stove.
Frying with oil is still widely preferred because it is practical and the fried food is considered more delicious. However, every time you finish frying, the oil that was originally clear will easily turn dirty even though it has only been used once. Usually, oil becomes dirty because of the crumbs of cooking ingredients that fall out, whether when frying chicken, fish, nuggets , or other foods.
In fact, sometimes the dirt in the oil does not disappear even though it has been filtered many times. In order for the oil to be clear again, you can practice a number of tricks, such as boiling it with a flour solution. However, you don't always have to use flour, you can also use other ingredients like netizens do on the YouTube account Cook With Msoo.
"This oil is super dirty, I deep fried something that had breadcrumbs in it," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Cook With Msoo on Wednesday (26/9).
The only ingredient needed to clarify the oil this time is lemon . The owner of the YouTube account Cook With Msoo explained that he used green lemon. However, you can also use other types of lemon or lime. The lemon is then cut into several parts and don't forget to separate the seeds.
"We're only going to use a half of lemon," he explained.

Then, put the oil and lemon slices into the Teflon. Turn on the stove on low heat. Netizens on the YouTube account Cook With Msoo said that if the heat is too high, the oil will actually get dirtier. Heat the oil and lemon for a few moments while continuing to stir until all the dirt sticks to the lemon.

If the oil is clear, immediately turn off the stove. Cool the oil for a few minutes, then strain the oil using a strainer lined with kitchen paper to separate it from the lemon and the remaining dirt. After that, transfer the oil to a bottle or jar where the oil is stored to be used for frying again at a later time.
