How To Get Rid Of Cooking Oil At Home?

After frying up something delicious, there's always that nagging question: What do I do with all this leftover oil? It feels like a burden.  

Storing it in a container might seem easy at first, but it leads to spills and odors and even attracts pests. Pouring it down the drain? Don't even think about it—clogged pipes and costly plumber visits are right around the corner. 

The best way to get rid of cooking oil is by disposing of it properly. Not only does it protect your kitchen and health, but it also helps the environment. Clean, simple, and eco-friendly—you'll feel good about your choice every time you fry. 

Why Is Cooking Oil Disposal Better Than Recycling? 

Many home chefs think that recycling used oil is the way to go. But let’s break down what “recycling” oil at home really looks like. Most people try to filter it and store it for reuse. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast.  

The process is tricky and risky. Each time you heat and reuse oil, it breaks down, creating harmful compounds that can affect the taste of your food and your health. Plus, storing used oil is a magnet for bacteria and pests. 

Then there’s the other problem: traditional cooking oil disposal methods. Some people still pour it down the sink, thinking, “It’s just a small amount.”  

But here’s the truth: pouring oil down your drain contributes to a huge environmental hazard—fatbergs.  

These solid masses of oil and grease clog sewers and cost millions to remove. In the UK, for instance, fatbergs are responsible for 75% of sewer blockages​. 

And if oil is poured outdoors, it doesn’t just disappear into the earth. Cooking oil can contaminate waterways, affecting large ecosystems.

Just one liter of oil can pollute up to 1 million liters of water​, making it dangerous for aquatic life and ecosystems. It doesn’t decompose, meaning that oil left in nature sticks around, causing long-term damage to plants and wildlife.

How to Dispose of Used Cooking Oil the Environmentally Friendly Way?

Alright, so what’s the best way to get rid of that used oil? Solidifying it is the answer! Not only does it eliminate the mess, but it’s also the most eco-friendly option.  

How to solidify cooking oil? 

Solidifying leftover cooking oil is very simple and economical with FryAway. Just follow three easy steps: 

1. Sprinkle and Stir FryAway into hot oil after you’ve finished cooking. 
2. Let it cool, and watch the oil solidify, turning into a firm, manageable mass. 
3. Toss it in your household trash—done and done!
