Can the old hotpot oil be reused?

Scientifically speaking, repeated heating and repeated use of hotpot oil will lead to oleic acid spoilage and produce carcinogens such as aflatoxin, which will endanger human health for a long time.

Although reusing the bottom of the pot is one of the traditional characteristics of Sichuan-style hot pot, it is also its charm. Because some fragrant substances are concentrated in the oil, it is concentrated every time it is heated, which makes people feel more fragrant. The meat cooked with it is tender and very refreshing. Many locals are good at it and don't care about the reuse of oil at the bottom of the pot.

But choosing between taste and health, of course health is more important.
