I used to pour it into a glass jar. But these days I’m just using a paper towel or 3 after it dries and chuckin it in the bin.

    I read this as “How do I deal with leftists regarding the leftover fat or oil in my pain?” I’m sorry.

      Oh that’s what I meant. Guess there was a typo and people got carried away. How DO you deal with leftists leftover fat?

      I keep telling them to eat less calories. But I donno, they get sweaty and I gotta keep wiping them down with paper towels.

    filter through a paper towel and store in a jar for later use if it is a good quality fat like bacon or beef tallow

    Vegetable oil gets stored in a different jar for disposal

    This depends on what kind of fat it is. Bacon fat I save, then clarify when there’s enough, then use it for cooking.

    A little bit of oil in the iron skillet? Pour kosher salt on it when it cools down enough, use the salt & oil to scrub it clean, wipe it out & rinse it (and dry of course).

    Duck I render it first and save the fat, then finish cooking it.

    I don’t really deep fry so mostly what happens with other cooking oil is I eat it, in the food.

    Sometimes I save it and put it in the fridge until the wet stuff separates from the fat. I then mix it with lye that I get from wood ash to make really shitty soap that’s okish for doing dishes but not much else. You shouldn’t put this in a washing machine because it will corrode the metal parts, you shouldn’t wash yourself with it because its bad for your skin but I hope to get it to where I never have to buy dish soap again. Every single little consumer product that I can find a way to live without increases my chances of survival under this regime or at least extends things for as long as possible.

    I also do paper towels for the bulk, though I try to do it while the pan is still a little warm, and may even heat the pan up a little if needed, so that if it’s a fat that’s solid at room temperature, I can treat it the same way as oil.

    Into a teacup, into the fridge, then when full and solidified, peeled out and thrown into the trash.

    Saw this thread from a mile away and ran to tell everyone I don’t have that problem because I own an air fryer

    Left… over?

    If I’m deepfrying, I set it aside and reuse it.

    If I cooked something like bacon that gave off fat, I save it and use it to cook other things later.

    If I was sautéing something, I used the correct amount of oil and there’s none left over.

    If I was roasting something, I turn the pan drippings into a sauce.

    I will say, if you’re having this problem a lot cooking meat, you’re probably not trimming the cuts properly before cooking. Trim those and throw the scraps in the freezer until the next time you make stock.

      I have fat in my freezer and am a total noob at stock making. The fat is leftover from a slab of pork I cut up into 8oz portions and froze.

      I would like to hear / read more about this earth thing called stock, if you are willing to share.
