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

Yes but hot grease can damage plumbing and cool fast enough to cause clogging over time. Pour it down the sink is totally fine, but you gotta run hot water with it

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?

[–] Lemmyuser2702@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I only use a few paper towels cleaning out the jar when it's full. That's my reasoning.

[–] Echofox@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!

that's what the water bill covers, is it not?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Did you downvote your own comment?

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't like self upvoting

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

But isn't it automatic?

Fuck that noice! Sometimes I buy bacon only because my fat jar is empty. That shit is gold for cooking with.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly never heard of that, but I'm also a bit lost in translation. Does this have any relevance to a person that only uses olive and sunflower oil and doesn't eat any meat?

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 1 points 4 hours ago

Öl will solidify as well, even if it takes a lower temperature than meat drippings. Use a paper towel to soak up leftover oil and dispose of it in the Restmüll.

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Fatty meat will result in a lot of grease that if poured down the sink will solidify on the walls of your drain pipes.

[–] menemen@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

But if it is only that, a few paper towels should be enough to catch the grease.

[–] Kirsche_z@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Splash it in the face of the people who piss you off, pour it down their pants when they aren't looking, set the pan on their chest when they're asleep and set their hand in the grease. I DON'T CARE.
