    Reusing cooking oil many times increases your cancer risk more than cooking alone. Fyi

    Appreciate the concern. The air fryer has all but eliminated my home frying. I always hated throwing out the oil, but I know it's not great to keep around, so I was never big into frying at home.

      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.

      Dump it all into an old tin and toss it out once it cools off.

        I also do paper towels for the bulk, though I try to do it while the pan is still a little warm, and may even heat the pan up a little if needed, so that if it's a fat that's solid at room temperature, I can treat it the same way as oil.

            Sometimes I save it and put it in the fridge until the wet stuff separates from the fat. I then mix it with lye that I get from wood ash to make really shitty soap that's okish for doing dishes but not much else. You shouldn't put this in a washing machine because it will corrode the metal parts, you shouldn't wash yourself with it because its bad for your skin but I hope to get it to where I never have to buy dish soap again. Every single little consumer product that I can find a way to live without increases my chances of survival under this regime or at least extends things for as long as possible.

              As opposed to garbage "disposer"? I use both interchangeably.

                  This depends on what kind of fat it is. Bacon fat I save, then clarify when there's enough, then use it for cooking.

                  A little bit of oil in the iron skillet? Pour kosher salt on it when it cools down enough, use the salt & oil to scrub it clean, wipe it out & rinse it (and dry of course).

                  Duck I render it first and save the fat, then finish cooking it.

                  I don't really deep fry so mostly what happens with other cooking oil is I eat it, in the food.

                    filter through a paper towel and store in a jar for later use if it is a good quality fat like bacon or beef tallow

                    Vegetable oil gets stored in a different jar for disposal

                      Does your airfryer nor drip the fat off of bacon? Or other fatty meat?

                      You out there making sunny side eggs with an airfryer?

                      Cooking some burgers in an air fryer recently, and it definitely leaves a lot of oil to dispose of!

                          Don't overreact. Depends on temperature and mostly how many times.

                                Oh that's what I meant. Guess there was a typo and people got carried away. How DO you deal with leftists leftover fat?

                                I keep telling them to eat less calories. But I donno, they get sweaty and I gotta keep wiping them down with paper towels.

                                      I don't cook with that much that there is relevant leftovers to begin with. I just wash my pan with soap and hot water.
