I’ve heard multiple times that it’s not okay to allow any food to go down the drain even with a garbage disposal, I guess because solids shouldn’t go down the drain. But we put a shit ton of solids down the drain through the toilet and that seems to be fine. Does the toilet go to a different sewage pipe then the sink? Or does shit have different properties that make it dissolve better?

    It’s either Japan or Korea, I can’t remember.

    But they have a powder that you sprinkle a little on used cooking grease. And it solidifies into a non sticky plastic like chunk that’s easy to dispose of in the trash.

    But bacon grease? Chile just put that in a mason jar, you don’t waste bacon fat…

      It’s not unique to Japan/Korea, you can definitely get it in the US. Fryaway is at least one brand of it, but I’d be shocked if you couldn’t get others.
