My fry daddy has a tight fitting plastic snap lid for it.
I filter the oil thru a mesh coffee filter into a bowl then clean the
fryer.
Dump the filtered, used oil back into the clean fryer and put the lid
on it,
then I refrigerate the whole thing.

I have the space to store the fryer pot in the refrigerator but if you
don't, I'd try a jar.

Do refrigerate it between uses or it'll go rancid.

I get 4 to 5 uses out of each batch of oil with only having to add a
small amount each time to bring it up to the pot's fill level. After
that, it starts adding an "off" flavor to the food depending on what
you have cooked. Seafood and brocolli will do it more than anything
else IME.
