What do you do with used cooking oil?

I don't do any deep frying for health reasons, but on the odd occasion when I fry an egg or something I leave the oil in the pan and cover it with kichen roll when it's cool. It soaks up most of the oil which I later put into the bin and wipe the pan with more kitchen paper until it is clean. I only wash the frying pan if I've cooked fish or meat in it.

I only deep fry things like Wantons and samosas and very rarely (as it is a bit of a faff to make them). If throwing out the oil it usually goes into a bottle and then into the trash.
Shallow frying uses very little oil which is wiped out and the kitchen roll binned.
I tend to cook dishes then chill them, remove any fat, and pop it on the bird feeder. Things like pulled pork and stews.
Bacon fat, from the crispy streaky bacon used in our Sunday breakfast, is saved and reused to make croutons or fry liver so ends up clogging our arteries I imagine.

Use less oil now but have a box from Lakeland with an absorbent cardboard insert that soaks up the oil then you put it in the landfill bin.

I don’t deep fry anything any more, so it’s not an issue. I can’t remember what I used to do when I was still occasionally making chips. If anything, it’s wedges now.
That Lakeland product is interesting - never heard of such a thing. Ditto the adding to porridge for the birds!

Our local tip has a specific place for oil.

What I was told last year was that it was illegal pour out down the drain in the street. I'd never heard that before.

We only shallow fry so wipe the pan round with kitchen roll and put it in the food waste bin.
The instructions state that kitchen roll can be put with the food recycling, but it may depend on your LA.

Or, if it is more solid fat from roasting, make bird cakes.

I also use the kitchen roll to soak up and wipe out pans - we have a fosse system so need to be careful what goes into the drains. My biggest problem is when I cook duck - produces a lot of fat and it it never sets hard enough for bird cakes. We usually tip that under the trees and the insects do the rest!
The porridge idea is a really good one and I daresay bread would also work - we do feed the birds so shall give that a go.

I only fry stir fry veg,-no residue , and eggs. I used to soak the oil from eggs with kitchen roll, but I’ll try the porridge idea for the birds. Thanks for that.

NaG55, I fry potatoes, peppers, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, bacon and undoubtedly many other things which slip my mind right now. My kitchen life is one of minimalist. The microwave is also very well used.

Like others here I dont use cooking oil in any quantity and on the rare occasions when I may pan fry a piece of fish I wipe the pan out with paper and put it in the bin. Only too aware of the blocked drain problems having seen the 'fatbergs' on TV that are causing chaos in our sewers.

My biggest problem is when I cook duck - produces a lot of fat and it it never sets hard enough for bird cakes.
I save it and use it for roasting potatoes, but not all at once.
Then wipe out the roasting tin etc.

Callistemon so do I. If there is a lot I store it in the freezer.

Coincidence, we are having confit tonight Callistemon my husband saves the fat for potatoes etc.
