Good cooking oil is an investment in your family's health. Here are 10 practical tips to make your Liwari cooking oil last longer and maintain its quality.
1. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Heat and light are cooking oil's worst enemies. Keep your Liwari oil in a cool cupboard away from stoves, ovens, and direct sunlight.
2. Keep the Bottle Tightly Sealed
Oxygen causes oil to oxidize and go rancid. Always close the cap tightly immediately after pouring.
3. Use Clean, Dry Utensils
Even a drop of water can cause oil to splatter and degrade. Always use completely dry spoons or measuring cups.
4. Don't Mix Old and New Oil
When deep frying, avoid topping up old oil with fresh oil. Used oil has already broken down and will accelerate spoilage of the new oil.
5. Filter Used Frying Oil
If you reuse frying oil, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove food particles that cause faster degradation.
6. Check for Signs of Rancidity
If your oil smells bitter, metallic, or like crayons, it's time to discard it. Fresh Liwari oil has a clean, neutral scent.
7. Buy the Right Size for Your Household
Liwari offers 1L, 2L, and 5L sizes. Choose based on how quickly you use oil - smaller bottles are better for light users.
8. Avoid Storing Near Strong Odors
Oil can absorb surrounding odors. Keep it away from onions, garlic, and strong spices.
9. Use Dark Glass or Metal Containers
If decanting oil, choose dark glass or metal containers rather than clear plastic, which allows more light penetration.
10. Note the Manufacturing Date
Always check the manufacturing date on your Liwari bottle and use older oil first. Fresh oil has a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly.
