- 1). Line a large plate or baking sheet with two layers of thick paper towels. Whether you use a large plate or a baking sheet will be determined by how much food you have prepared.
- 2). Transfer the overly oily food to the paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet, making sure to spread individual pieces apart in a single layer for even draining.
- 3). Allow the food to sit for at least three minutes. The paper towels will absorb the excess oil, extracting it from the food.
