I have some used deep frying oil (Canola) and want to know if I can still use it to fry steak. Is it still good?

If you continually re-heat polyunsaturated oils, then they will turn into trans fats.

It will be OK if it has only been used once or twice, otherwise throw it out

Its not even safe to use the first time round!

Looks like you're OK #1, go for it! !

My point is that it is not safe to use seed oils for deep frying in the first place - let alone re-cycle them by just "sieving" them.
And then use them for something like frying steaks - where you might eat most of the fat in the process.
However I am giving up giving advice here. Please do google it and learn. Everytime I say something on here I am made to look stupid and ridiculous. So yep - just google.

It wouldn't hurt to use it once or twice if you had nothing else though.

Oh. Ignorance is bliss isn't it. #1 follow rainrain's advice. I mean it's not as if she/he has ever bothered to pop into Food Lies and read about trans fats, hydrogenated oils, the chemicals used to extract oil, bleaching and then deodorising of oils to make them acceptably pale and to hide that they are in fact rancid.
The answer to the question would take, oh about 6 weeks and 500 pages of information and that is ridiculous.
So I reason it out thus. If you have blithely gone ahead and used the oil with gay abandon then you may as well just strain it and reuse it. It has already started the harm process so what is a little more?
The people in here advising against its use entirely, - well we are often dismissed as 'purists' or 'the food police' and we are often invoked when people give unsafefood advice, health wise and don't want to be questioned on it.

One bloody well would eh! ... hehe I suggest thou if you are in any way interested you read up on "Industrial Veggie Oils"
Canola (rape seed) oil for instance is more widely used as a pesticide than a cooking oil :o)

Sorry rainrain. It can get quite trying when someone asks a question that would take forever to answer and the answer would make your eyes glaze over. Perhaps I should edit my reply.

Well I am less than impressed by the level of catty nastiness in this forum.
It needs a clean up.
