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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

Damn, I'm happy you said garbage disposal.

Last meal's leftovers is to season the next meal

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!

paper, then boil

Reusing cooking oil many times increases your cancer risk more than cooking alone. Fyi
Don't overreact. Depends on temperature and mostly how many times.

Are you renting or do you own?
And if you rent, do you like the town?

I read this as "How do I deal with leftists regarding the leftover fat or oil in my pain?" I'm sorry.

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.

Good for a cold winter chimney firing.

"my food tastes terrible, don't eat at my house"
"I forgot what vegetables taste like."

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.

Saw this thread from a mile away and ran to tell everyone I don't have that problem because I own an air fryer
My main source of grease and oil is from stuff i cook in my airfryer lol

Down the drain, the tenant special.

Paper towel -> trash.
Also a reason why we don't deep fry something and only fry semi submerged

I have a spot in my yard that I pour cooking oil.

Looks interesting but not at that price point for me. Seems more expensive than paper towels and probably worse overall for the environment since it'd be heavier than paper towel to transport to the store.
Would be interesting to compare the carbon footprint.
I also like how nowhere on the page did it compare it to paper toweling it into the trash. Just pouring it down a sink or putting it in a jar lol. That's marketingWould be interesting to compare the carbon footprint.
Yeah, definitely. I thought this was interesting because cleaning up certain dinners requires A LOT of paper towels. And then there are dinners where I end up with a small jar of oil, which is too much oil for paper towels. Thought this may save a few trees.

Yeah, it was meant as an "I have no reading skills" thing as opposed to a political thing.
