What do you do with leftover grease from frying or roasting or braising?
Hopefully you don’t pour it down the drain in your sink. Until recently, I poured the oil or grease into an empty pickle jar and stored it under my sink. This worked well for years, but then there was always the problem of how to get rid of the grease once the bottle filled up. Not a pleasant topic, but here we are and we’ve all had to deal with this sooner or later.
Needless to say, I carefully wrapped the bottle so it would not break on its way to the garbage bin, but now I have a brilliant solution to solve all these problems.
Check out my ‘how to’ below and let me know what you think. I think that you will agree it’s brilliant and super easy.
PS: I even left the photo showing that you don’t have to be 100% exact in your aim, just leave enough foil with the edges slightly turned up so that it will catch any spills.
Can You Guess What This Is and How to Use It?
Instructions
- Tear off a piece of aluminum foil from the roll. Place the sheet of foil over your sink drain and gently push the foil to make a well in the shape and size of your drain.
- Pour the hot leftover cooking oil or grease from a pan directly into the aluminum foil well that you made.
- Crunch up the aluminum, making sure that it is tightly sealed, remove from the drain and drop the bundle into your garbage.
