Wait for it to cool then pour it into the garbage. Oil is terrible for your sink pipes!

Usually let cool and then pour in bag then into garbage
If I need pan right away I pour the hot oil into my bag yard on the side

If it’s a lot of oil. I’ll out into a shopping bag and then into the garbage.
To wipe out greasy frying pans I soak up the oil in a paper towel.

Never put in down the sink. Small amounts I use paper towels. Larger amounts into a ziploc that goes in the garbage. But I don't often have a lot of oil. I use it sparingly.

This is reminding me that I hardly ever fry Very Happy
But when I do I put it in some sort of container and dump.

I have poured cooled oil in my yard out back. And dumped other stuff there too. Is that bad? Didn’t seem to harm the grass.

I put it in a bag and tie a knot, toss in the garbage.

Yuck to pouring down the toilet. Doesn't it make your toilet bowl disgusting and need to be cleaned? Or do you throw some dish soap in there with the oil to cut the grease?

Because it will coat the pipes and you’ll have major plumbing issues.

You can strain it and reuse it. Would like to know how to make lip balm, shampoo and other things from leftover oil.
