How many times can you use lard when you deep fry?

Lard can be reused for deep frying multiple times, typically around 3 to 5 uses, depending on the type of food cooked and how well it's filtered after each use. Each frying session can degrade the lard's quality due to food particles and moisture, which can lead to off-flavors and decreased smoke points. It's essential to strain the lard and store it properly between uses. Always check for any signs of rancidity or off odors before reusing.
