After frying vegetables, fish or meat, there is often a large amount of vegetable oil left in the frying pan. In a hurry, housewives pour it down the drain.

But if you do this constantly, then you cannot avoid a blockage, and cleaning a kitchen siphon is a slow and unpleasant task.

For this case, experienced housewives have their own clever method. We will tell you about it.

If there is not much oil left, it will be easier to collect the remains with paper napkins after it has cooled and throw this waste into the trash can.

But the situation is different with a large quantity.

It's not a napkin that will come to the rescue, but baking soda.

How to proceed?

First, you need to wait until the oil has cooled completely.

Secondly, after this, you need to pour a few teaspoons of soda into the frying pan or saucepan with its remains.

It will absorb any remaining grease, making it much easier to clean your pan or saucepan.

Thirdly, after waiting a few minutes, you will be able to see how the soda and oil have turned into lumps.

All that remains is to collect them with a paper towel and throw them in the trash can.
