When you are done frying for the day, scoop out any large chunks that are left in the oil.
Allow the oil to cool to 150 - 170 °F, 65 - 75 °C.
Place a coffee filter or a cheesecloth in the mason jar and roll the edge of the filter over the lip of the jar.
Loosely install just the ring and make snug to secure the paper coffee filter or cheesecloth.
Pour the warm oil into the filter through the hole in the ring being careful not to overfill the filter. It will take a few minutes for the oil to pass through. Caution, the oil is still hot enough to cause a burn.
When the oil has run through the filter, carefully remove the ring and filter. Discard the filter, place the lid on the jar and secure with the ring.
Store your oil for your next cooking adventure, be it deep frying, stir frying, pan seasoning or just lubricant duty.
Finished.
