How to Treat Fat After Frying
After the frying is finished remove the
fat TO cool place and let 1t settle.
Crumbs or -four left in fat and re-
heated with it will burn long before
the fat is hot enough for frying, and
spoil the fat. When the fat is cool,
pour it carefully from the sediment in
the bottom, through one or two folds
of cheesecloth laid over a colander or
sieve, add cold water or slices of po-
tato and clarity as above. Wipe out
dry, and when the fat is again cool
return it to the kettle. A round bot
