What to do with the old frying fat in the pan or in the deep fryer?
Most of the time it ends up in the drain.
But there are good reasons against it.
Do you use your deep fryer often and with pleasure?
Then you have probably asked yourself often: what to do with the old fat?
Many just dump it in the sink.
But be careful: this can have dire consequences - which can put a huge strain on your wallet.
Cooks know, but hobby cooks don't always know:
hot frying fat
* or oil from the deep fryer must not be poured down the drain
.
There are several reasons for this. It can clog the pipes in the house and lead to such serious blockages that expensive repairs are necessary.
And plastic parts in the sink can also be damaged by excessively hot temperatures.
But what to do with the leftover oil?
Collect oil residues and dispose of them in the residual waste bin: However, you can continue to use many residues
Oil residues - whether frying fat or rancid cooking oil in the bottle - always belong in the household waste
, i.e. in the residual waste bin. So that this doesn't become a slippery affair, you should fill the oil residues into containers that you have to throw away anyway. For example empty shampoo bottles or screw-top jars. In one of these you can collect oil residues to be disposed of and then, when it is full, put it tightly in the general waste, as reported by Stern Online.
Not only oil and fat that was used for cooking and can no longer be used must be disposed of with household waste.
Oil from canned food and jars that has been used to pickle artichokes, other vegetables or fish should also be disposed of in this way.
It is best, however, if you continue to use this:
the oil in which the tuna is marinated is perfect for the pasta sauce
and the vegetable oil does not need to end up in the bin either: just use it for the salad dressing.
