Purifying the Vegetable oil

Today in class we purified the vegetable oil. We covered one bucket with cheesecloth and a strainer. Then we poured the vegetable oil into that bucket. When we poured the vegetable oil into the bucket the cheescloth didn't work well. The strainer on the other hand worked pretty well. I learned that dawn soap cleans up vegetable oil. For tomorrow I think we should put paper towels all over the tables, so then if we accidently spill the vegetable oil it will land on the paper towels and not on the tables. That way it wont create such a big mess.

    Awesome, did the chesse cloth just not filter the oil at all?

    Instead of using the cheese cloth we used the window screen to filter the oil. It works a lot better.

    you should heat the oil adn get the water out, then filter the oil again with a strainer lined with paper towels.
