  Throwing away animal fat and oil is failing at cooking

  • Valmond@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    And probably buying shitty meats for starters.

    • Krudler@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah well only a shit cook would think that oil coming off means bad meat.

      I know that people don’t know fuck all about cooking, yourself included.

  Get a drain snake, they’re like $10 and its saved me from calling a plumber 13 times at least.

    My last drain snake broke off in the drain.

    Get a decent drain snake. Maybe not the cheapest one on Amazon.

      Ours did the same, so now we always call a specialist…

  You shouldn’t pour it down the drain for obvious reasons but putting it in a jar is weird af. Is there some actual reason for the jar that I don’t know? Whenever I have to do the dishes and there is a lot of grease in a pan I just put a few papertowels (if needed) in the trash and pour the grease in there. When I’m done with the dishes I take the trash out.

    In Germany you can get a free bucket for collecting grease at your local recycling center. When its full, you exchange it for an empty one.

      I think that is specific for your town/city. We don’t have that here. But tbh, if you are not deepfrying a lot of stuff, letting it cool down, whiping the oil out with a paper towel is normally enough. If this isn’t enough, people normally use old glass jar and throw it into the Restmüll (this is also how our local waste company tells us to do it). Naturally, there are different solutions available for industrial cases.

      Really? Thats pretty cool fr. Is that offered so people don’t pour it down the drain?

    Depends on how much grease you have— always stored bacon grease in glass jars to use later for greasing pans and given bacony flavor. Secondly, grease pours easily and is liquid when hot, but because it’s hot you can’t pour it into the trash, or wipe it clean with paper towels as mentioned. You have to let it cool which means it becomes more of a mess.

      Yes but hot grease can damage plumbing and cool fast enough to cause clogging over time. Pour it down the sink is totally fine, but you gotta run hot water with it

      with Premium Brand paper towels it really doesn’t matter, you can let the pan cool down and then wipe it with the paper towel. Works really good

  • Lemmyuser2702@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I only use a few paper towels cleaning out the jar when it’s full. That’s my reasoning.

  Just add oil solidifier so you can throw the solidified oil into the compost or trash bin. Like FryAway or just buy the original Japanese versions which FryAway is copy off like Katameru Tempuru

    I wish they carried it in the markets here. I just looked it up, looks like it’s just Steric Acid. You can buy a whole pound for $15… gonna five that a try.

  I started pouring mine in to an ash bucket I use for the open fire. The ash soaks it up and it all gets thrown out in to the bin

    You could throw it into the fire and get some extra warmth.

      We had a fireplace at my parents’ house, we used to burn grease and used oil all the time, until we had our first maintenance. Let’s say the chimney sweep wasn’t amused

  Honestly never heard of that, but I’m also a bit lost in translation. Does this have any relevance to a person that only uses olive and sunflower oil and doesn’t eat any meat?

  source

  • treesapx@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Fatty meat will result in a lot of grease that if poured down the sink will solidify on the walls of your drain pipes.

    source

    • menemen@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      But if it is only that a few paper towels should be enough to catch the grease.

      source
  • nightlily@leminal.space ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Öl will solidify as well, even if it takes a lower temperature than meat drippings. Use a paper towel to soak up leftover oil and dispose of it in the Restmüll.

  We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it’ll make a good grease receptacle.
