- - pan.
Instruction
1. Take glass capacity and pour in it the necessary amount of oil. The glass cup or bank volume to halfliter will approach. Pour so much oil that it filled no more than a half of capacity. If you need absolutely small amount which will be enough only for one application, it is possible to use a usual glass of 250 ml for a water bath, having filled it half.
2. Place the container with oil in a pan. Then pour in a pan water in such quantity that its level was a little higher than the level of oil (at least on 3–5 cm). At the same time consider that the more the container with oil, the above there has to be a water level concerning oil level. It isn't necessary to cover a pan.
3. Put a pan on fire and bring water to the boil, and then lower fire a little. Time during which sunflower oil will get warm on a water bath depends on amount of oil. For example, if you use the capacity about 500 ml half filled with oil it is necessary to boil it about 25-30 minutes. If you took a small jar or a usual mug of 250 ml, then to hold oil on fire after water boils, no more than 10-15 minutes follow.
4. In the course of boiling stir slowly oil with a wooden spoon. Pay attention: sunflower oil won't boil as it has consistence too dense for this purpose. Warming up on a water bath in itself does oil sterile and doesn't demand its boiling. However if you boil oil too long, it can heat up and ignite too strongly. Therefore you watch closely time: it is necessary to hold sunflower oil on a water bath no more than 20-30 minutes from the moment of water boiling.
5. Cool boiled oil a little, without taking out it from a pan, and then cover a pan and leave before full cooling. Usually oil is almost completely cooled within 30–40 minutes. After this time pour oil in the capacity from which will conveniently pour it. If you plan to use boiled sunflower oil several times, take for storage previously sterilized to bank with densely closed cover. But it should be noted that it is longer not necessary to store the sterilized sunflower oil day. It is better to use it at once, and to boil new portions of oil as required.
