Random question about cooking oil....
After you fry something, how do you dispose of the oil?? I dont want to pour it down the drain because I heard it can clog the drain pipes. I was considering flushing it but that can make an ugly oily mess in the toilet.
How else can I dispose of it?

I usually use old (used) paper towels and soak the oil up and dispose of it. Or, I put it into an old tuna tin, stick it in the freezer for a while to solidify it, and throw it away like that.

You cna also dump it in dirt, but whether or not you want to do that depends on what you were frying.

I put it into an empty container and when it is 1/2 full I tape up the container and than throw it out.

Re: Random question about cooking oil....
I put it in a used can (like a tuna can) wait for it cool then throw it out. I would not put it down the drain or the toilet.

Re: Random question about cooking oil....
whenever i am out of coffee i keep the cans for that purpose only.. after the oil cools down it goes in the can , once the can is pretty full , I dump it.. Pouring it down the drain WILL clog it... & Then I keep the coffe can in the cab that has the pans,, easy,,

We put in in an old soda bottle and throw it out when it solidifies.

Re: Random question about cooking oil....
I pour it down the drain...I figure if it doesn't solidify in the bottle, why would it solidify in the drain...now fat drippings on the other hand (like bacon) I would pour into a container and then toss.
