Frying is a very popular cooking method, so the issue of using up the remaining oil is relevant.

For example, you definitely shouldn’t pour it down the drain: otherwise, you will constantly face the problem of blockage.

Also, you should not cook again with such oil: it is a source of carcinogenic substances that can cause significant damage to the body, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova.

What can you do with oil?

Drain into a separate container

If oil should not be poured into the sewer, then a high-quality disposal method should be considered. A striking example is the following method.

All you need to do is take an empty plastic bottle, pour all the oil into it and throw it in the trash container.

For a clean frying pan

Many people face the fact that the non-stick layer on the frying pan wears out over time. Therefore, you can periodically renew it.

After you have fried the food and removed it from the pan, it is worth waiting for some time. Then take a paper towel and remove excess fat.

The dry pan can be put into storage. The method is also suitable for cast iron pans.
