How To Clean Up Your Frying Oil With One Common Vegetable - Tasting Table
Briefly

The method of dropping a trimmed carrot into hot frying oil can help collect food particles, preventing them from burning and ruining the rest.
The carrot trick is based on the concept that carrots may absorb oil differently due to their cellular structure, acting like sponges in hot oil.

Some attribute the carrot’s browning in oil to its sugar content, which could lead to misconceptions about the cleanliness of the oil.
