Frying Oil Recycler for Fish in Borosilicate Glass

Place the stainless steel sieve insert in the opening at the top, then pour in the oil from your pan or fryer. The superfine mesh holds back bits of batter, flour and burnt crumbs, exactly the impurities that make oil deteriorate faster the next time it is heated. What gathers in the glass below is the clear oil.

Then you fold the stainless steel lid shut and put the container away. When you fry again, hold the container by its handle and pour the oil back into the pan.

Borosilicate glass is a heat-resistant glass of the kind used for measuring jugs and laboratory ware. It withstands temperatures up to 300 °C here. The lid and the sieve insert are stainless steel, and silicone is used as well. The container is BPA-free.

The recycler is for anyone who fries regularly: chips, calamari, croquettes or battered fish fillet. Throwing the oil away after every round costs a lot of money for a few minutes of cooking. Filtered, the same oil can be used again.

As a gift it works for a housewarming or as something to bring along for someone who likes frying and likes a tidy kitchen.

Pour the oil calmly and in one go, so more of it ends up in the glass and less beside it. Seat the sieve insert properly in the opening first, so nothing runs past the rim.

Keep the hinged lid closed while the container is standing. Because the body is transparent, you can see in passing how much oil is inside and what it looks like, without opening the lid. To pour it back into the pan, take the container by its handle and the movement stays controlled. Because this vessel is intended for fish, a second container for your other frying oil is worth having, so the taste of fish stays where it belongs. As a small present, pair it with a good bottle of oil for a little set.

How much oil does the container hold? The capacity is 0.5 litres of filtered frying oil.

Why is the recycler made especially for fish? It is intended as a separate container for fish oil, so that oil used for frying fish is collected apart from the rest.

What is the container made of? Borosilicate glass, stainless steel and silicone. It is BPA-free and the glass is heat-resistant up to 300 °C.

Can I see how clean the oil still is? Yes, the body is transparent, so you can judge the state of the collected oil without opening the lid.

Does it work as a gift? Yes, for a housewarming or as a small present for someone who fries often.
