I know we're not supposed to pour grease down the drain-- I get it. I have a question though.
Can I add dawn dish soap and hot water to it & pour it, or is that still gonna frick up the pipes???
The dish soap cuts through it to clean it off of dishes. Why wouldn't it neutralize the grease itself?
inb4 not my problem

>can literally just let it cool, throw it in a ziploc bag, and toss bag into trash
>but the morons of this board constantly come up with ways to complicate this
I don't want to waste a ziploc bag that's just getting thrown into the trash. if i have an empty can around, i'll pour it in there, but that's not always the case.
yeah good call, fixing a clogged pipe is much easier and cheaper than tossing away zippy bags
I just keep a glass jar under my sink that I pour all grease into. An old Ragu jar or some shit. Can either empty it (kinda gross) or just throw it out and use a new one when full.
Checked, throw it at something or somewhere you don't like, like you local tax office.
>using jarred pasta sauce.
Ngmi
So you throw plastic into the environment...genius
I bury it in a "compostable" wet area near strong plants because it will decompose
You can store and use that grease to cook tamales
>So you throw plastic into the environment...genius
Literally not my problem
>I bury it in a "compostable" wet area near strong plants because it will decompose
Good for you and your boyfriend.
I just mix it with an egg to emulsify it and pour it into my neighbor's gutter after dark.
Why is americas solution to every problem is to make more garbage? Take the oil and pour it outside in the garden
>putting it in a bag or a cup
What the frick are you doing? Just get a paper towel and wipe the pan and throw the greasy paper into the trash can.
try doing that after deep frying
Why would that be a problem?
not nice wasting full rolls of paper to wipe 1 liter of oil
I'll let you think this through for yourself bud. How much paper towel do you need for little oil? Now think BIG oil
Is it weird I refuse my fryer oil afterwards? I just filter it through a coffee filter back into the oil container
Yes but only for small amounts of oil. With larger amounts, it's too hard to emulsify the oil and it ends up being easier to just pour it into a plastic bag or cup and throw it out
How much is too much?? Like is the amount of fat leftover from cooking a pound of bacon too much?
>Like is the amount of fat leftover from cooking a pound of bacon too much?
Yes, definitely.
Yes
By small amount I mean the amount of oil left over from, say, stir frying vegetables or pan frying leaner cuts of meat
It will still frick up the pipes
I just swipe all of the oil out with a paper towel and throw it in the trash - No issues here
Just pour it in a coffee cup to use for cooking later on.
The water won't stay hot forever, eventually it cools and the fat will start to solidify again.
Long after it has left his system though.
lol
Not even a little. It'll make it past one or two bends before it settles low.
Just keep running hot water for a few minutes then.
you can pour it down the drain, you're supposed to with cold water, google it.
You want it to solidify on your end and then get flushed down, not get flushed down and then solidify.
I just pool my old grease, motor oil, and transmission fluid into milk jugs and leave it at the local Democratic Party headquarters for my county. If they care so much about the environment, they can clean up my mess.
I also leave my old car parts in Walmart shopping carts.
not my problem
poor rental car
>suv
Wow, such a surprise. I bet she eats McDonald's too
Where did it go and why don't we go this to all trash?!?!?!?!
>filthy brown
shocker
this is why this country is a fricking joke
self-entitled actual garbage human pieces of shit
Unironically not a problem if its never seen by anyone else again, which it likely wont be
>Why wouldn't it neutralize the grease itself?
soap does not "neutralize" grease. it attaches to it and helps to lift it off of a surface with water. but it will still congeal in your pipes and clog them. some pipes take longer than others.
just don't do it.
leaving shopping carts randomly in a parking lot is ok.
If you run soap water on grease, it'll stay unless something wipes it off, if anything it'll collect in a lower part of the pipes which you can't reach. This is my lazy method, aluminum foil, push into drain to make a cup shape, pour oil into the cup (don't get water in there), wait for it to solidify and throw away. Granted I have a steel drain but shouldn't be hot enough to mess up other drains. Or just keep a picklejar or something under the sink.
>This is my lazy method, aluminum foil, push into drain to make a cup shape, pour oil into the cup (don't get water in there), wait for it to solidify and throw away
this is the way
Seriously, if you do pour grease down your drain it will be your problem at some point when the pipes clog.
>put in bin
>fridge/freeze
>use to grease cast iron
My mom says I need to put my bacon grease can in the fridge, is this true?
my fricking shitty ass neighbor dumped a thing of bacon grease on the ground in front of the dumpster (probably on accident but still, what a fricking moron) and i slipped on it and it oozed through my crocs and got on my toes and i haven't been so angry in months now.
>i slipped on it and it oozed through my crocs and got on my toes
not his problem
KEK HAHAHAHHA
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Holy frick. Thanks ck. I'm so high right now. Hilarious shit.
Go eat a Klondike Bar.
I ate so much last night. Having my first meal now @ 8.30pm
>my fricking shitty ass
stopped reading, wipe yourself repulsive wagie.
>wearing crocs
fricking deserved
You can pour it down the drain like a moron and have to deal it like a moron or pay for someone to do it for you like a moron or just get rid of it like a normal person.
I just put a chunk of toilet paper in a bag, pour it in there, then throw it in the trash.
I don't understand why people don't keep an old jar or coffee can to dispose of grease in. It's simple and has zero chance of fricking up yours or anyone's pipes.
put it also into a glass jar, add some rat poison too, then toss it into yards that have pit bulls
alternatively, I just smash the jar over a storm drain
>then toss it into yards that have pit bulls
Based
Put it in a jar.
When it's full enough you toss the jar in a neighbors bushes like a normal goddamn person.
If you use the right ratio of soap and water, and agitate it enough, you will create an emulsion that will flow easily down your pipes. The emulsion will break at some point, but by then it's the city's problem.
why are you morons throwing away cooking oil?
it becomes dirty and toxic after heating
I toss it out into the thick brush of gigantic weeds between my house and the highway
Let it solidify and then eat it all with a spoon.
>Can I add dawn dish soap and hot water to it & pour it
Yes probably.
>or is that still gonna frick up the pipes???
Maybe, but at that point it's no longer your problem.
I don't understand how y'all are producing so much excess grease. Whenever I have some leftover it goes in a ramekin next to the stove and it'll be used up within the next couple of days.
never done deep frying at home? its way too much oil to keep reusing also it becomes toxic after heating up a couple times
>it becomes toxic after heating up a couple times
>it becomes dirty and toxic after heating
Sounds like some hippy dippy bullshit. Yeah it degrades, but what's the actual effect, a week off my life? I live near a city, every breath I take is killing me.
You guys realize the sewage plants skim off the grease and turn it into methane gas, which they sell at a profit, right?
You are literally pouring money in the sink
so you people don't have services that collect used oil from your home for free? a lot of companies use it as fuel, you can just fill a bucket or something and once a year have it taken away
I just pour it down the sink, if it ever gets blocked up I'll pour boiling water down the sink and that will melt the fats
Just pour hot water down the drain after for ten minutes. It'll push it into public sewage and then it literally wont be your problem; and some guy will get paid by the city $75 an hour to jackhammer away at it for like a week. Literally helping the economy by being lazy.
I must be missing something here, I pour it into a trash can.
Yes.
Not my problem.
you're suppose to collect it all in bottles until the municipal oil collection service passes by
your city have such service as all decent cities do, right?
>the municipal oil collection service passes by
Where in the hell does this happen? I've never heard of such a thing in my life. Every city I've lived in has had a place you can go to drop off oil but no one does it because it's much easier to just toss it in the trash, no one has ever come around just to pick up oil.
Are american pipes made of frickin bamboo? Any first world country is totally equipped to handle cooking oil in pipes. Ive lived in japan, Australia and England, never even heard this mentioned before.
It's not that the pipes break or deteriorate, it's that the oil and grease sticks to the sides and slowly builds up. Enough build up and it'll start catching other food particles and more grease and oil and before long you've got yourself a clog.
Um, "incorrect".
I always just wipe out the pan with a paper towel and throw it into the trash. Either that or I force a homeless to drink it
There's not a goddamn thing anyone can say to me that'll get me to stop pouring oil down the drain. Nothing. Go frick yourselves you stupid homosexuals.
Based but you could be mixing it with rat poison to feed to your neighbor's shitbull.
Just drink it pussy
