I've really made frying chicken wings and fries nice and neat. No longer is there powdered coating mix, oil mess on the counter and such. I've got a Presto Cool Daddy Fryer and have perfected the whole operation to be really easy and most of all, not messy (like it once was). So what was usually the messy part (preparing and cooking) is now neat and tidy. Now i find that the really really messy time consuming part is straining and saving the frying oil. Almost every method I've used requires pots, funnels, cone filter holders and the like. I end up having to hot water wash the oily pot, funnel or holder to get it back in the 2qt container the oil came in. That's more time and mess than preparing cooking and cleaning the fryer!
Straining the oil for later use has become the chore I've got to make easier. It's just not that quick and easy for me.
Has anyone tried ways that were too messy and time consuming and found new ways to do this frying day chore (besides just chucking the 2 qts of oil)?
