Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the oil, this should never
be done. This process of chilling oil then bringing the oil to room temperature causes
excessive splattering during the heat up process.
• Storethecoveredoilinacooldarkplace,foruptothreemonths.Checktheoilbefore
using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the oil if it shows any of these
qualities.
