  Well in fast food places the same oil is used a gazillion times. Something to ponder over.

  it's perfectly thrifty to keep deep frying oil, it's sinful to throw that oil away.
  
  but it's time to throw away when it becomes orh lu lu

  Different kinds of oil become 'dirty' at different timings. Corn oil gets dirty fast compared to vegetable oil, thats why u rarely see people use corn oil for deep frying. So depends wht kind of oil u used. Some oil are most lasting.

  Usually after deep-frying, I will filter the oil by draining it through a small sieve with a layer of kitchen towel inside. The oil becomes a bit cleaner lah. But I don't know how many times that oil is used after I use it once... shouldn't be too many times since everytime I cook, the used-oil container is always empty.
  
  My household has three kinds of oil - veggie oil for frying, and canola and olive oil for normal cooking.

  Call me wasteful but I never reuse cooking oil
  
  1. Health reasons
  2. Changes the taste of other food
  
  Then again I hardly deep fry so no issue
  
  Anyway I think for deep frying, the best oils too use are Knife and Duck brand oil

  No lah !!!! every night when the whole place is close, they will drain away all the oil and fill up new ones. Old oil don't fry things well and have a taste.

  It is unhealthy to use recycled cooking oil my friend. Better throw them away.
