Q:How do you remove the oil after cooking
by|Dec 26, 2021
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  After your oil has cooled, carefully lift the removable pot and pour your oil into a strainer to remove food particles. Make sure you have a large enough bowl below the strainer. If you wish to reuse the oil, store it in an air tight container and store in a cool, dark area. If we can help you further, please feel free to get in touch with us. You may call weekdays, 8:00 – 4:00 Central Time. Our phone number is 1-800-877-0441.
