How do you deal with the left over fat/oil in your pan?
-
I used to pour it into a glass jar. But these days I'm just using a paper towel or 3 after it dries and chuckin it in the bin.

Depends how much is left. Alot then filter and jar. A little then paper towel and trash.

I let it cool off and then scrape it into the trash/compost. Sometimes I use a paper towel, sometimes I just scrape it.

Straight down the sink. It's a rental.

A filter? What you doing with the filter?

Filtering out any chunky bits from the cooking so it doesn't go back into the fat jar

Wipe with paper towel, toss in trash.

Goes into the compost.

If frying something in measurable quantities of oil, the oil can be filtered to remove solids, then stored to re-use later.
If cooking something greasy like bacon or sausage, either I'll cook other things in the same pan after, or I'll pour it through a strainer, let it cool, and freeze it. Once I've saved a bunch, I clarify it.
Fat is flavor. In my house, it doesn't get thrown away. There are lots of ways to reuse it.

It's not only the rental's pipes that suffer from fat buildup. It's the entire city's pipes.

Are you renting or do you own?

Popcorn made in pre-used oil can be awesome, and an easy way to get rid of 100ml or so.

If I want to keep the fat, like from bacon, then I strain it through cheesecloth into a small jar and use it occasionally.
If I don't want it, then if it gets solid at room temp it gets to cool and be scraped into the bin. If it is a liquid at room temp it goes into a ziplock bag or something to keep it from leaking.

Other than saving it for use later when possible, we let it solidify and scrap it into the trash.

You might be surprised to learn that those pipes connect to your entire community and you're being a dick to all of them instead of doing the bare minimum of effort

Bacon - ya pour that right into the bacon fat container that has its own strainer.
Most other recipes the fat is part of the dish. As someone else commented - fat is flavor. Say you brown chicken parts for something like Gumbo, the next thing in the pan will be vegetables that get glazed, and you're gonna need a fat for that which is already there in the pan.

But the salt.

There are better ways to sabotage a rental without screwing with the rest of the plumbing system
