Just a helpful tip, you shouldn’t wash that sediment down the drain. It could cause a clog if enough builds up. I wipe mine into a grocery store bag with a paper towel, then throw that in the trash to keep the smell to a minimum.

Put the sediment or left overs in the trash, never down the sink. I can congeal and clog your sink, or septic line, outside your house or further down. Wipe it out with paper towel, then wash the pot or fryer.

Someone who doesn't waste perfectly good oil

After using the oil for 3/4 times. Put it in a soda bottle and sell it to the recycling centre. There are companies who buy used oil to make soap (used for laundry or dishwashing).

Apparently reusing frying oil multiple times can increase the risk cancer. I don’t know what the research is behind it but it’s deffo worth looking up. Generally after 3 or so usages it should be disgarded

A tip after you fry something with flour. Put a kitchen towel on the strainer then strain all the leftover oil. Do this when the oil still kinda hot because if it's already cold, it takes longer time for the oil to be strained.
And please don't throw oil in the kitchen sink if you don't want to deal with clogged sink someday.

For people who don't know what to do with leftover oil or grease and since you can't pour it down the drain they sell stuff It's a powder and you pour it into the grease and it turns it into this like thick solid gel form so that you can properly dispose of it. I can't think of the name of it but if you type something similar that explains the description of it into Amazon I'm pretty sure it's on there.

Use the left over chicken flavored flour and oil mixture as the base of gravy. It’s delicious

The first person on the internet I saw actually reusing it!!! THANK YOU!!!

I fry a piece of white bread when I reuse the strained oil. It freshens the smell/taste to neutral. I keep empty food cans for the old oil and toss it in a big Ziplock bag in the trash.

[Konozco]

it was nice of you to save most of it for the drain

[krishnabansal]

A tip for you get a really fine strainer or a muslin cloth piece on to a container and pass the oil while it's still a bit hot then the bits won't soak it up and you can throw the bits out easier and they are easy to clean just flip the strainer and smack it against the sink once all the bits are out rinse or you could light up the stove and burn off rhe oil this is something chefs with more than a decade of experience taught me

[mimial]

You are not supposed to wash the pan like that. It will end up clogging the pipes. With a kitchen towel I wipe the pan clean and everything goes to the trash

[MistiMoan]

Use cornstarch and water, mixed. Heat oil pour in the cornstarch mixer. It will fry grabbing the stuff on the bottom as it does. It will leave you with clean oil

[betinivinicius]

I only fry in lard or beef tallow, so I strain it, boil with clean water, take it to the fridge overnight, remove the hardened fat the next day, discard the dirty water with all sediments that decanted and scrape off the bottom of the disc of fat for the floaters. It's as good as new every time.

After 3 filters it makes a good fire starter for charcoal grill. Dip a paper towel in it and light the towel

He keeps it simple……that mixed the genuine value motivates you to try new recipes with confidence

Habibay, just dump the leftover bits and the olive oil (after it’s spent completely) somewhere in the corner of your yard or behind your shed. It’s biodegradable.
