the drain can have little a grease, as a treat
Don't pour hot grease in a glass jar or it'll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.
Are you... speaking from experience?
I use a Pyrex container if I want to safe the grease. Otherwise I make a bowl of aluminum foil, pour it into that, and toss it once it hardens.
I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.
The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.
As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.
People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.
Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, "flushable" wipes, etc), half grease and fats.
If it's a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn't go down the drain.
Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.
Obligatory response to this meme e'er time, "Sigh, if it's on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it's on sewer it's punishing the public's wastewater treatment facility."
Aand resume.
It isn't put in the jar to throw away, its put in the jar to cook more food with later
For maximum enjoyment, drink it directly from the jar. Preferably while warm.
And use for tortillas and savory pie crust.
When my grandma had "too much" of it she would mix it with seeds and put it out for the woodpeckers in winter
Are you the same people complaining about increasing food prices who are also throwing away the best part? The bacon is the byproduct. People! Save this grease and use it when another recipe calls for butter.
Says people who have never lived alone.
Like you don't even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain't no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽
Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. ... and they're proud of it.
Can, pour the grease into a can. Glass is likely to energetically and spontaneously disassemble when temperature shock occurs.
why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the food waste bin
why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the ~~food waste bin~~ drain.
Our drains need to learn to evolve with our rapidly changing technology
Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.
It also fucks up the main plumbing system right down to the water treatment facility and while there, it fucks that too.
If your taxes pay for wastewater management, you're fucking yourself up.
If you pay in addition to your taxes, you're fucking yourself up.
If you have your own septic tank, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and you enjoy clean nature, you're fucking yourself up.
If it flows to the river directly and your taxes pay for nature maintenance, you're fucking yourself up.
Grease down the drain is fucking yourself up and you deserve it. You can not win with it unless you hate everything around you and don't pay taxes.. It will come back to bite you.
Good. Disrupt the system. Until young people can purchase homes at similar rates to healthy countries then young people should escalate civil disobedience.
Let it be the landlord's problem.
You're not just "sticking it to the man" when you do this though
you're being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.
Yeah.
They're not doing maintenance until something happens.
Like waste water coming up your drains, flooding your apartment with black, hardened, crystalized fat and stinking water because your upstairs neighbor has the washing machine running but the water can't go anywhere because the waste water main is clogged somewhere between your flat and the one below yours. This will happen on the day after tradies finish putting new laminate flooring in your entire apartment.
Don't ask me how I know.
It ruins things for everyone in your local area though. Fatburgs aren't localised to your landlords house.
"Yeah take that landlord!"
*clogs their own pipes*
The tenant special
Like a landlord is going to fix your clogged drain anytime soon. They're not your mom, they're a business. You'll be lucky if a plumber comes out in a couple of weeks.
Okay but how? In what? For how long? Do you reuse it again? How often? Does it go bad? Where do I put the jar? Do I close it? People just say shit like "save your grease" and expect me to know what to do.
You save it up in a can or a jar and then you have a world of options:
Throw it away Make soap from it Throw it away Use it to season cast iron pots and pans Throw it away Cook with it if it's from the last few days Throw it away Add it to outdoor dog food in the winter Throw it away Soften dry ski-you know what, just throw it away.
It's not about keeping grease out of the drain, it's about not wasting cooking oil. As a Brit I recommend frying your whole breakfast in bacon dripping. Especially the mushrooms and tomatoes.
