You can go to a restaurant supply store and get what amounts to a BIGGER
coffee filter. Yes, restaurants filter their oil, too. They have big ol'
filters and holder that will hold a couple liters or oil. I'm sure they
still have to refill the filter just like you, as their fryers hold tens of
gallons.

Be glad you don't have filter Fomblin vacuum pump oil, which is about the
same viscosity as corn syrup. We had to filter it in coffee thingies and it
would take overnight for one fill. We had little choice. The stuff was
about $400 liter!
