What do you do with used cooking oil?

From recyclenow.com - Cooking oil and fat shouldn't be poured down sinks as it can cause blockages. Small amounts of cooking oil, fats, plate scrapings of fatty food can be added to your food waste recycling service. If you do not have access to a food waste recycling service, put it in a sealed container and place in the general waste bin.

Same as Kitty, when I clean out the fryer the old oil goes into a jug and then when I put fresh oil in the old stuff gets poured into the bottle. OH takes it to the tip.

I don’t deep fry much either but if I do I put the cooled oil into an empty plastic tub and put into the general waste.
Sometimes there is a lot of fat left in the roasting tin when we have a roast and I leave the tin to cool with several paper towels in it to absorb as much fat as possible and then bin them.

Any oil I use goes into the dish itself e.g sautéed onion , garlic etc .

What do people fry as a matter of interest ?

Oops! We have a chip pan!! I keep an empty oil bottle to pour old oil into and we take it to the dump.

As a (totally daft) first year uni student, I once poured it back into the plastic bottle. Needless to say the bottle melted. The worse thing about it was that it was another student's oil, oooh the shame of it.

All you non-fryers, well done !!

I have never had to deal with used oil. I have never deep fried and haven't even shallow fried in decades, then I just kept the oil and reused it.

I now have an air fryer and that uses a mere spray of oil.

I only ever have a small amount and I cool it then seal in any non-recyclable container in the landfill rubbish.

I rarely shallow fry with a spray I dry the pan with kitchen roll. I don’t deep fry I bake in the oven with spray oil. I don’t like greasy food it clogs your veins as well as drains.

I use very little, never deep fry, so just wipe the cooled pan with kitchen roll and chuck it in the bin,

I hardly use any now but DH used to have a ‘chip pan’, when that needed clean oil I would use a funnel put it back into a container and it went into the general rubbish bin.
