fat disposal

[jeanette1976]

How long is it safe to keep fat in a deep fat fryer and how do I dispose of it. i remember that we're not supposed to throw it down the sink incase it conjeals and blocks!

Thanks!

Don`t know about the length of time, I usually trust my sense of smell. And I save a couple of 2 litre pop bottles or similar then decant in and dispose in general bin as I don`t think many councils have a service for domestic disposal, but I could be wrong.

chuck it down the garden if it stinks

The way I get rid of veg oil is fill the kitchen sink with HOTTEST tap water with LOADS of washing up liquid pour the oil in stir around to distrobute well, then pull out the plug. Non animal based oils don't set and conjeal. NEVER DO THIS WITH ANIMAL FAT THOUGH AS IT WILL CONJEAL WHEN IT COOLS AND CLOG UP EVERYTHING.
