Just a helpful tip, you shouldn’t wash that sediment down the drain. It could cause a clog if enough builds up. I wipe mine into a grocery store bag with a paper towel, then throw that in the trash to keep the smell to a minimum.
@@nk-dw2hm That is just incorrect, come on… Any type of oil down your drain can cause problems.

Put the sediment or left overs in the trash, never down the sink. I can congeal and clog your sink, or septic line, outside your house or further down. Wipe it out with paper towel, then wash the pot or fryer.

Frying once can cause cancer. Searing a steak can cause cancer. High heat on any food creates harmful compounds. Cleaner foods and oils have a smaller impact.
You are not supposed to wash the pan like that. It will end up clogging the pipes. With a kitchen towel I wipe the pan clean and everything goes to the trash
A tip for you get a really fine strainer or a muslin cloth piece on to a container and pass the oil while it's still a bit hot then the bits won't soak it up and you can throw the bits out easier and they are easy to clean just flip the strainer and smack it against the sink once all the bits are out rinse or you could light up the stove and burn off rhe oil this is something chefs with more than a decade of experience taught me
For people who don't know what to do with leftover oil or grease and since you can't pour it down the drain they sell stuff It's a powder and you pour it into the grease and it turns it into this like thick solid gel form so that you can properly dispose of it.

It's called FryAway! I use it and it works great! Absolutely love it! You pour it into the oil while it's still hot and then it let it cool. It will solidify. Saw it on shark tank and I think they said it was biodegradable too
I fry a piece of white bread when I reuse the strained oil. It freshens the smell/taste to neutral. I keep empty food cans for the old oil and toss it in a big Ziplock bag in the trash.
A tip after you fry something with flour. Put a kitchen towel on the strainer then strain all the leftover oil. Do this when the oil still kinda hot because if it's already cold, it takes longer time for the oil to be strained. And please don't throw oil in the kitchen sink if you don't want to deal with clogged sink someday.
Use cornstarch and water, mixed. Heat oil pour in the cornstarch mixer. It will fry grabbing the stuff on the bottom as it does. It will leave you with clean oil
I only fry in lard or beef tallow, so I strain it, boil with clean water, take it to the fridge overnight, remove the hardened fat the next day, discard the dirty water with all sediments that decanted and scrape off the bottom of the disc of fat for the floaters. It's as good as new every time.
@@nicholasosorio6579 It does because there’s fatty acids that oxidise when cooking, releasing toxic/ carcinogenic compounds and increasing your risk of developing a chronic disease.
Habibay, just dump the leftover bits and the olive oil (after it’s spent completely) somewhere in the corner of your yard or behind your shed. It’s biodegradable.
More and more research is showing how aldehydes - toxic elements - that are produced when you reheat oil. Cooking food by reusing cooking oil can also increase free radicals in the body, which can cause inflammation - the root cause of most diseases including obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

No. *WE" do not "all" doo that. None of it should go down any sink. Drain it into a used water bottle or used container with lid and landfill it. Landfill = trash.

Nah depending on where you live provided you clean your oil, you can dump cold oil in down the drains. Certain cities plan for this. Where I live this is what we’re told to do. Though some cities and certain countries they don’t have the facilities to deal with this and piping is too old to deal with oil so yes you dispose of it differently
This guy should ot be making a video about something he knows nothing about. None of it should go down any sink. Drain it into a used water bottle or used container with lid and landfill it. Landfill = trash.
If you just frying a chicken or eggs, you can keep and reuse the oil for a while. If you're cooking beef or fish or any seafood you better off just use new oils because the proteins would make the oils tasted weird over time
I heat the oil and put it through a strainer with a filter/paper towel in top into a metal bowl. Catches all of those finer bits. Once it's cooled, I put it into a storage container.
Never do that! This is basically a death-acceleration technique. When oil gets heated multiple times or at a high temperature, it gets oxidized, forming oxidized cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol is a very bad thing. Please don't follow what this guy is saying. Use good oil, and use it once.
I don't fry enough times to reuse oil before it oxidizes and goes rancid so I just look for gatorade bottle or something and pour it into there and into the trash.
facts, I just finished digging up a cast iron sewage pipe that drains from our customers kitchen and the bottom of the pipe was obliterated (original plumbing done only 13 years ago)
Nowadays in my country when you have leftover used oil, you can sell it to companies or large corporations to recycle the oils. These companies do give a good price on them. This might be available in other countries as well.
If you insist on putting the bits that are covered in oil down the drain do it with detergent that will stop all that from coagulating and cloging the drain. You can put some corn starch with it and put it in the trash too.
we just reused oil until it wasn’t good anymore, when it was no good my mom just mixed it with flour to make a dough ball then throw it in the trash. it’s kinda a waste of flour but that’s better than pouring it down the drain or in the toilet(i’ve actually seen someone do that🤠).
