Breaking the generational barriers

Splash it in the face of the people who piss you off, pour it down their pants when they aren't looking, set the pan on their chest when they're asleep and set their hand in the grease. I DON'T CARE.

Pretty easy to sidestep this issue by just not eating heart-clogging foods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh well. Shouldn’t have made home ownership impossible for the next generation.

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.

Just add oil solidifier so you can throw the solidified oil into the compost or trash bin. Like FryAway or just buy the original Japanese versions which FryAway is a copy of like Katameru Tempuru

So around Friday of last week, my ground level apartment started to have a weird, foul, smell. It got worse and worse, until Monday morning, when my toilet stopped flushing and the drains took forever to clear.

By then the smell was horrid, like a mixture of skunk, piss, and decay. Thankfully for me, my toilet suddenly started working for a couple of hours Monday night, but then stopped working by Tuesday morning. Around 3pm on Tuesday, they finished repairing the sewage pipe, but the smell lingers on.

This also happened maybe 6-8 months ago, and it took 7-10 days for the smell to finally dissipate. I expect it will take that long this time as well.

Judging by the notice left on all of our doors, that threatened to charge the person or persons responsible for flushing “flushable” wipes and cigarette butts (???) as well as dumping oil down the drain, our sewage pipe must have been completely blocked up. Without inspecting each unit, I doubt they will be able to assign blame, so whoever did it will likely get away with it.

I have nothing to worry about, as I never pour oil down the drain, I don’t smoke cigarettes, and I only ever use toilet paper in the bathroom. Whoever invented “flushable” wipes deserve a punch in the fucking face. Now my apartment smells absolutely terrible, and likely will continue to do so for a week or so.

For the love of god, do not dump oil down the drain! It’s so easy to pour it into a jar, then use a paper towel to wipe the rest of the oil out of the pot/pan. It makes actually cleaning the cookware that much easier as well.

Please don't pour fat down the drain. Starving children in Africa could use that bacon grease!

Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.

I started pouring mine in to an ash bucket I use for the open fire. The ash soaks it up and it all gets thrown out in to the bin

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.

My mum used to have a lard jar that was a mix of concealed bacon fat and god knows what else. Not a fan.

Throwing away animal fat and oil is failing at cooking

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.

As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.

I always chug a beer/soda, open the top of the can using a can opener, and pour the grease into that.

NOTE: make sure all the liquid is out of the bottom of the can (maybe wipe it down with a towel) or else the grease may shoot back out

Get a drain snake, they're like $10 and its saved me from calling a plumber 13 times at least.

If you're renting, maybe it's not your problem. The landlords jack us for rent, so we mess with their drains. Meh.

Should we respect our landlords, you might ask? That depends on them. Respect is earned.

Our drains need to learn to evolve with our rapidly changing technology

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‽

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.

IF you absolutely must do this, make sure to fill the bottom of the sink with a little bit of cold standing water first. This helps to break up the grease and seal in the juices.

Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.

The jar got stuck in my drain.

Dad owned a low rent apartment house. people would put chicken bones in the drain and then call because the drain backed up. and take bulbs out of the hallway lights. He'd laugh about it then fix the stuff because he wasn't a good slum-lord. Probably never broke even

It isn't put in the jar to throw away, its put in the jar to cook more food with later

Let it be the landlord's problem.

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

Can, pour the grease into a can. Glass is likely to energetically and spontaneously disassemble when temperature shock occurs.

Step 1: Get chickens

Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease

Step 3: stir until they've absorbed the fat

Step 4: treat the chickens

Step 5: ??????

Step 6: Profit!

How much grease are you guys using in america

Just throw some dishwasher detergent down there once a month. It'll be fine.

what was the original comic?

Burn the grease in woodstove or fireplace for extra heat

the pipes can handle it

should*

pour maritime hydraulic oil down the drain

so much good lard gets tossed out, i know this may be unpopular opinion, but much healthier than any vegetable seed oil

But its delicious

We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it'll make a good grease receptacle.
