Why does vegetable oil become cloudy and bitter: experienced housewives named the reasons

Many housewives try to give preference to high-quality vegetable oil so that the cooking process takes place without unpleasant "surprises".

That is why we try to choose products from trusted manufacturers with a decent reputation, who are always ready to offer high-quality vegetable oil at the best price.

However, after a short period of time, the oil begins to deteriorate literally before our eyes.

The product becomes cloudy and the taste develops a noticeable, unpleasant bitterness.

What could this be related to?

As it turns out, we ourselves are to blame for such transformations of oil. If the housewife does not ensure high-quality storage of the product, then the oil begins to lose its qualities.

It is dangerous to store the product in well-lit areas: sunlight is the real enemy of oil.

You can't store the product in the refrigerator either: it won't do it any good. Especially if you don't put the bottle on the shelf, but place it in the appliance door trays.

Every time the refrigerator is opened, a temperature difference is created, which deteriorates the quality of the oil.

Also, do not leave the oil near the radiators or the stove. High temperatures negatively affect the properties of the product.
