Will it strain the file sediment in used cooking oil?

Yes I'm sure it will because it has a cross weave pattern. It's made very well. I Love mine.

I'm not sure about that since I've never tried straining cooking oil with it. However, the strainer is lined with a nice fine mesh, so it should do the job.

Take out the heating element..and wipe off with a paper towel..set aside. What I do next is line a fine strainer with cheesecloth. Remove the entire "tub" of oil from the fryer..be careful, the rims are sort of sharp. I use a canning funnel and mason jars...so just put the funnel in the jar...place the cheesecloth lined strainer in the funnel and slowly pour the oil....the big funnel fits perfectly in any Manson jar and the strainer filters your oil. When done, I put the "tub" in the dishwasher with all the other stuff I used. I store the oil in the fridge. I can get 3-4 uses before dumping the oil and starting again with fresh.

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

I can't imagine why not. If it stores bacon fat after straining, I don't see why you couldn't use it to strain cooking oil. Another way to strain it, is to put some cheese cloth into a funnel, and pour the oil back into the bottle. Mark the bottle as frying/cooking oil only so that you don't grab it for anything else. I use my crock for bacon fat only.

It has a wire mesh strainer much like a tea strainer with a spring controlled plunger that when hot expands and keeps the oil from draining out. It does a great job over night with very little oder. Just be patient.

Because it holds so little amount of oil, I leave the oil in and disguard it after several uses. It is not worth the trouble of draining, straining, and storing it.

My husband says yes. However, he adds that you might want to cover your hands with gloves after you use the oil, because they will be greasy.

It might work.... if you can keep the strainer warm. Grease seems to harden while draining. Pressing the meat with a spoon, I'm going to try that.....

It has a built in strainer type filter on the bitten of the pan and after use and the oil has cooled down it will drain onto the strobe pan on the bottom after it is all drained you will notice what Is left are crumbs and what not just pull out the pan and wash well.there is no need for replacing

No. What I do is wait till the oil cools then pour it into a glass measuring cup and wash it out. After u dry the unit pour the oil back into the unit but only the clear oil. I clean after each use and bring up to oil line and this is good for at least 4 times than I start with new oil. I bought this for my son and had to tell him the same thing and it saves on oil. Note Do not do this if cooking fish it holds the taste.

Not a dumb question at all. Seriously, you are going to bring that oil back up to over 400 degrees again before you cook food in it. No bacterias are going to live through that process. The draining and straining of the oil between cooking sessions is more for flavor than safety. I leave the grease in my fryer between uses just like my grandmother did. Strain it as often as needed depending on what types of foods you're cooking.

Since I have never used it to strain cooked rice, I am not positive that all of the rice will stay in the strainer.

The bottle is very dark so if there is sediment, I have not noticed it. I would recommend this oil regardless.

Mine seems to be fine but if needed, I would sand it a bit and put some oil on it. I don't think I'd opt for WD-40 since it's used for my food... just a bit of vegetable oil would probably do the trick. It will get smoother with use too.

It will take the highest heat that any organic oil will handle...has a nice coconut fragrance when frying. hope this will help you.
