When storing cooking oil in beverage containers, will traces of remaining water, soda, or juice interfere?

I understand the idea of just throwing it out if it appears black, and putting a strainer on the container to pour it through if still looking reusable. I'm just wondering if any traces or few drips from the beverages mixing with the oil will have any significant effect on the next use? So I'm guessing it's definitely a good idea to rinse and dry the container first before storing oil in it?When storing cooking oil in beverage containers, will traces of remaining water, soda, or juice interfere?
Actually, you should NOT store and re-use your oil at all. Cooking oil that has been heated twice changes in chemical composition and causes free radicals (elements of a destructive nature) in our bodies. Understanding free radicals is too long for this forum, but you can go to nutrition websites and learn more. That means you should store the oil in re-seal-able containers and send it out with the garbage.





Some communities have you put the oils and fats from cooking on the curb when your garbage is to be picked up, and some just have you put them in the garbage can. But do not use oil that has been heated twice. Two times is okay, though.When storing cooking oil in beverage containers, will traces of remaining water, soda, or juice interfere?
Used cooking oil isn't re-used because it's carcinogenic. I'm not sure of juice traces blending in but that's the least of your worries
Well there you have it...you answered your own question! Rinse and dry!
