How should cooking oil be stored to maintain its freshness?


I recommend that cooking oils be stored properly to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage. Oils can lose their flavor and nutritional value if exposed to heat, light, and air for extended periods, so it’s important to store them correctly.

The best way to store cooking oil is in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources like stoves or direct sunlight. A pantry or cabinet is ideal for this. Oils should also be kept in tightly sealed containers to minimize exposure to oxygen, which can cause oxidation and lead to rancidity.

For oils that come in large quantities or are used infrequently, consider transferring them into smaller bottles to avoid repeated exposure to air. If you use oils like olive or flaxseed oil, which are more sensitive to heat, consider refrigerating them to prolong their shelf life. However, this may cause some oils to thicken, so just bring them back to room temperature before use.
