the drain can have little a grease, as a treat
You shouldn’t pour it down the drain for obvious reasons but putting it in a jar is weird af. Is there some actual reason for the jar that I don’t know? Whenever I have to do the dishes and there is a lot of grease in a pan I just put a few papertowels (if needed) in the trash and pour the grease in there. When I’m done with the dishes I take the trash out.
Depends on how much grease you have— always stored bacon grease in glass jars to use later for greasing pans and given bacony flavor. Secondly, grease pours easily and is liquid when hot, but because it’s hot you can’t pour it into the trash, or wipe it clean with paper towels as mentioned. You have to let it cool which means it becomes more of a mess.
with Premium Brand paper towels it really doesn't matter, you can let the pan cool down and then wipe it with the paper towel. Works really good
In Germany you can get a free bucket for collecting grease at your local recycling center. When its full, you exchange it for an empty one.
I think that is specific for your town/city. We don't have that in my city, nor in other cities I lived in before.
But tbh, if you are not deepfrying a lot of stuff, letting it cool down, whiping the oil out with a paper towel is normally enough. If this isn't enough, people normally use old glass jar and throw it into the Restmüll (this is also how our local waste company tells us to do it). Naturally, there are different solutions available for industrial cases.
Really? Thats pretty cool fr. Is that offered to dissuade people from pouring it down the drain?
Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!
Yeah great. When it clogs up the sewage, tell that to the workes who have to clean your shit up.
That's a job for the owners, not the renters
It's not about keeping grease out of the drain, it's about not wasting cooking oil. As a Brit I recommend frying your whole breakfast in bacon dripping. Especially the mushrooms and tomatoes.
Oh well. Shouldn’t have made home ownership impossible for the next generation.
Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.
It also fucks up the main plumbing system right down to the water treatment facility and while there, it fucks that too.
If your taxes pay for wastewater management, you're fucking yourself up.
If you pay in addition to your taxes, you're fucking yourself up.
If you have your own septic tank, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and you enjoy clean nature, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and your taxes pay for nature maintenance, you're fucking yourself up.
Grease down the drain is fucking yourself up and you deserve it. You can not win with it unless you hate everything around you and don't pay taxes.. It will come back to bite you.
Fuck that noice! Sometimes I buy bacon only because my fat jar is empty. That shit is gold for cooking with.
So around Friday of last week, my ground level apartment started to have a weird, foul, smell. It got worse and worse, until Monday morning, when my toilet stopped flushing and the drains took forever to clear.
By then the smell was horrid, like a mixture of skunk, piss, and decay. Thankfully for me, my toilet suddenly started working for a couple of hours Monday night, but then stopped working by Tuesday morning. Around 3pm on Tuesday, they finished repairing the sewage pipe, but the smell lingers on.
This also happened maybe 6-8 months ago, and it took 7-10 days for the smell to finally dissipate. I expect it will take that long this time as well.
Judging by the notice left on all of our doors, that threatened to charge the person or persons responsible for flushing “flushable” wipes and cigarette butts (???) as well as dumping oil down the drain, our sewage pipe must have been completely blocked up. Without inspecting each unit, I doubt they will be able to assign blame, so whoever did it will likely get away with it.
I have nothing to worry about, as I never pour oil down the drain, I don’t smoke cigarettes, and I only ever use toilet paper in the bathroom. Whoever invented “flushable” wipes deserve a punch in the fucking face. Now my apartment smells absolutely terrible, and likely will continue to do so for a week or so.
For the love of god, do not dump oil down the drain! It’s so easy to pour it into a jar, then use a paper towel to wipe the rest of the oil out of the pot/pan. It makes actually cleaning the cookware that much easier as well.
