Karuya™ Oil Strainer Pot
Pour your used cooking oil through the fine mesh strainer. It catches the crumbs and bits so you get clean oil back, covered and ready for next time. Reuse your oil up to 4 times instead of dumping it after one fry.
The tall mesh fry basket turns it into a small batch fryer too. Drop in a few pieces, lift the basket, and let them drain right over the pot. Perfect for one or two people, a quick snack, or donuts one at a time.
1.5 L, stainless steel, and compact enough to sit on the counter or slide into the fridge. Looks right at home next to your Karuya Fry Pot.

The Oil Problem
Why Good Oil Goes To Waste
You fry once, dump the oil, and buy more next week. That's money in the trash every single time.
How It Works
Strain. Store. Reuse.
- 1StrainPour used oil through the fine mesh strainer.
- 2StoreCover it and slide it into the fridge.
- 3ReusePull it out and fry with clean oil.
Clean Oil Every Time
The Strainer Does The Work
The fine mesh strainer sits in the top and catches the crumbs as you pour oil through. Clean oil comes through, ready to cook with again.
Ready When You Are
Covered, Stored, Good To Go
Put the lid on, slide it into the fridge, and your oil is waiting for next time. Reuse it up to 4 times instead of buying fresh oil every week.
More Than A Strainer
A Small Batch Fryer Too
The tall mesh fry basket turns this into a fryer for one or two people. Drop your food in, lift the basket when it's done, and let the oil drain right back into the pot.
Better Together
Made For Your Fry Pot
The Oil Strainer Pot was built to sit right next to your Karuya Fry Pot. When you're done frying, pour the cooled oil from your Fry Pot through the strainer and it's ready for next time.

What Home Cooks Are Saying
"Small kitchen, big win"
I bought the 1.5 L size so I wouldn't have to store a larger one, since space is tight in my kitchen. Works as advertised and I was able to make donuts one at a time in it. I like the included strainer to help save oil. And by using a small pot instead of a big pan or fryer, I can stretch my oil a lot farther.

"Love it!"
I've been using this for frying small batches of fries and chicken, and it makes the whole process so much easier. I especially like the basket because I can lift everything out at once and let the extra oil drain right back into the pot.

"Great size and very convenient"
Sturdy, practical, and a great size for cooking at home. The basket makes it easy to lift and drain food, and the strainer filters the oil so it can be stored and reused. Everything is easy to clean, and it doesn't take up much space. Great for fries, chicken and more.

"Perfect for tater tots and storing oil afterward"
We got the Oil Strainer Pot mainly for making tater tots, and it has been perfect for that. The basket makes frying easier, and it feels durable. One of the best features is being able to clean the oil and put everything right in the fridge afterward. It stores the oil neatly and makes it easy to reuse, which has saved us a lot of money instead of constantly replacing frying oil.

"Couldn't be happier"
Used it the first time two days after it arrived. Dropped in flour-dusted calamari, then a dozen and a half jumbo shrimp. All the food came out golden brown, nothing stuck together, not greasy, just fantastic. When the oil cooled off I strained it with the strainer, cleaned the pot, poured the oil back in and put it in the fridge for this weekend. Definitely worth it!

"You won't regret buying it"
I've wanted a deep fryer for so long but didn't want to deal with all the oil. It's just my husband and me, so I didn't need a big fryer. I had no idea this small one was a thing. It's a perfect size for two, and I can strain and store the oil right in it. One tip: don't add more oil than the instructions say.

"Saves so much money"
I went back to the old-school way my mom used to cook. This thing saves you so much money because you can clean your oil or shortening and store it for later. It's also awesome if you live alone or in a small space. You can fry yourself a piece of chicken or a couple of mozzarella sticks right in it.

"My first and maybe last fryer"
Very pleased with the quality. The size is enough for my one-to-two person meal prep. Being able to let food sit and drain in the basket is extremely valuable. It keeps my kitchen from getting messy and oily. The pouring spout may look like nothing, but it saves my clumsy self a lot of mess too.

"Go ahead and add it to your cart"
I love this thing. I don't like to fry because of the sticky grease. This keeps things tidy and cuts down on hard cleanups. It also makes it easy to reuse oil with the strainer. Definitely a winner for me.
Mimi
"Saves so much oil!"
I love this pot. The size is perfect for frying without taking up much counter space. The fine mesh strainer works like a charm to filter out residue and reuse clean oil, especially after bacon or fries. The 304 stainless steel feels sturdy, high quality and very easy to wash.

"Convenient fryer"
Easy to use and I like that you can reuse the oil! Fish and chips made easy!
Elena
"Small but it works"
Works for our two-person household, better than I expected. Don't expect to make a large quantity of anything in it, but it does the job for us.
