Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Any insights, please? I have two plastic bottles of sunflower oil in my cupboard. One is fresh. The other is what I cook my onion bahjis in. (Law of diminishing returns, of course) Only, I'd prefer not to leave the hot bhaji oil exposed, in the pan, as it cools. Nearly melted a plastic bottle once though, being a bit hasty. That could have been fun! Dunno. I'd like something I can strain the hotter oil into safely. Being able to gauge how much is in there would be a massive bonus too, of course. Amazon calls me. Just like some direction. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Find a metal food grade 5gal bucket with a sealable lid and get a large metal strainer. Put a piece of ply woods or similar under it's to work as a heat sink. Wince it cools down you can transfer it to smaller containers would be surprised if you have to drop more than $30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Wolfie; A litre vessel will do, mate I use 1 litre bottles of oil and generally seem to end up with two, half filled (Fresh and used) bottles. The Italians have steel vessels they use for olive oil storage. Call them a Fusti. I actually have one here. Cost me a staggering amount of money, in a moment of 'I Will NOT Be Beaten' fukking madness! Fukking thing's about a five gallon one though. I'm genetically encoded to like fine things. Nice, stainless steel thing would suite. Just a bit hard to know where to even start searching for something for which there's not really a ready description. Just triggers the din's, look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
