I don’t cook with that much that there is relevant leftovers to begin with. I just wash my pan with soap and hot water.

Good for a cold winter chimney firing.

paper, then boil

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.

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

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.

Last meal’s leftovers is to season the next meal

Are you renting or do you own?

I pour it into an empty can and freeze it then eventually 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

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.

Dump it all into an old tin and toss it out once it cools off.

Depends on what kind of leftover fat.

If frying something in measurable quantities of oil, the oil can be filtered to remove solids, then stored to re-use later.

If cooking something greasy like bacon or sausage, either I’ll cook other things in the same pan after, or I’ll pour it through a strainer, let it cool, and freeze it. Once I’ve saved a bunch, I clarify it.

Fat is flavor. In my house, it doesn’t get thrown away. There are lots of ways to reuse it.

I pour it into a bowl. Once full ill freeze it then toss out on trash day
