reason that paint dries - linolenic acid is reactive with oxygen.  The old
way to get around this was to hydrogenate the oil but now trans-fat is a
dirty word.   New, zero trans-fat  soy based frying oils extracted from the
new variety low linolenic beans are available on the commercial market

available in the supermarket is still the old school stuff.  Corn oil is not
bad and the price is the same as soy and less than peanut.

In _The_Professional_Chef_, it mentions that the
flavor of new deep-fry oil actually improves with a
little use.  It doesn't say why, but I suspect that
undesirable volatile flavors and aromas are being
driven off, making the oil more bland.

I read/heard that the actual reason was the creation of soaps from the
fats in the oil.

It is said "old fry hands" routinely keep a small amount of old oil to
add to the new oil.

Make sure you get a cone & filters to extend the life of your oil ...
check out the kind of oil you will use ... Soy oil is a new comer and is
meant to have a longer fryer life while peanut is your tried and true
(excluding beef lard - which gave MacD's fries their flavour).

Mac D's also came up with additives that would extend the life of the

I am confused, from my understanding, Bernie is running a commercial
operation and would probably be able to find the latest in commercial
