When frying at home, leftover oil can create a mess and it’s important to dispose of it correctly. Pouring hot oil directly into the trash is unsafe, as it can leak from bags or create holes. Letting the oil cool and using multiple plastic bags can help prevent leaks. Alternatives include pouring cooled grease into a disposable container or freezing the oil before disposal to minimize mess. These methods ensure safe and hygienic waste disposal while frying.
When frying food at home, you just have to embrace the mess, from the grease splatters on your stove to the big potful of oil left over after cooking.
Allow leftover oil to cool. Then, place two plastic grocery bags inside of each other and pour the extra fat inside the inner bag. Tie the top tightly and toss it in the trash.
If you have a lot of oil to get rid of or some thin, flimsy trash bags on your hands, a few additional techniques can prevent garbage can leaks.
Try carefully pouring the cooled oil into a plastic container and then freezing it. Right before taking out the garbage, remove the frozen-solid oil from the container and toss it in the waste bag.
