Brilio.net - Frying is a popular cooking method because of its ease of processing. Fried food has an appeal in the form of a distinctive crispy and crunchy texture. The frying process always leaves oil that must be discarded after the cooking process is complete. Most people have the habit of throwing leftover frying oil into the sink.
Throwing used cooking oil into the sink is an inappropriate action. Based on information reported by BrilioFood from thespruce.com on Monday (11/25), used cooking oil can cause blockages in the drain pipe. The blockage has the potential to cause an unpleasant odor from the drain. The negative impact of throwing oil into the sink can be prevented by throwing used cooking oil into the trash.
Disposal of used cooking oil into the trash requires special techniques. Used cooking oil must be in a cold condition before being thrown into the trash. The cold temperature of the oil is needed to prevent damage to the trash. The process of disposing of used cooking oil also requires special procedures so as not to cause new problems.
An intermediary or additional tool is also needed when disposing of used oil . One TikTok user with the account @ocwarrior19 also shared his trick. To practice this method, prepare one tool, namely aluminum foil.

Take a piece of aluminum foil and place it over the sink hole. Press the center gently to form a depression.

Then pour the remaining cooking oil into the aluminum foil cavity. Do it slowly so that the used oil does not spill everywhere. Pour until there is no cooking oil left in the pan or other frying tools.

Let it sit for a while until the cooking oil is cold. Well, the cold cooking oil will harden or change shape to become solid. Then pull and take the aluminum foil, throw it in the trash.
