cooking oil?

How do you dispose of a pan full of cooking oil after frying up a mess of fish?

Makes great weed killer!

I usually recycle it at least once:o I very slowly drain it back through a coffee filter, in a funnel, back into the bottle. The yucky stuff thats left goes into our compost. Not sure if I'm supposed to do that or not, but I sure have some healthy worms. Weed killer??:eek:
Make sure the oil has not burned or scorched. Use good stuff, it will last longer.
A friend of mine just leaves it in his cast iron. His fish sure is good, don't know how long he leaves it there.
NOT down the drain. If you need to just get rid of it there is always the old coffee can (do all fisher folk drink lots of coffee?) in the trash.

Use peanut oil. Expensive upfront but lasts a long time. Butch

Save it for Willie Nelson. He's always coming to town and his bus uses used oil.

I'm thinking that the coffee filter-back in the jug til next time sounds like the way to go.

I used to use crisco, and that wasn't a problem - pour it into a coffee can and after it hardens, put it in with the garbage. Now I use canola oil - to try to keep my arteries open for a couple more years, so now I have a way to recycle it. I'm guessing after it's used a couple times, just fill the jug with used oil and trash it?


Thanks for the answers everyone.

yep, If I am careful I can get three fries before trashing it. It goes realy slow, I am trying to find some other kind of filter, without spending a gazillion dollars.
Love your avitar.
Fry ON!

here we just use peanut oil in the fryer than when finished with it I put back in jug and Auto zone takes it with my Trucks oil.:) they sell it to :confused:
But I like the idea Biodiesel.
