Pouring fat of any kind into your sink is strictly verboten. Even if the fat is liquid at room temperature, it can clog up your pipes and demolish your personal or neighborhood plumbing, resulting in backed up sinks or, on a larger and more upsetting scale, basements flooded with sewage. Relax and be free from anxiety Take back good sleep and help alleviate pain. You can also do this with chicken, duck, and goose fat, as schmaltz and its gamey cousins are real culinary game changers.
In fact, if you find yourself with poultry scraps, you should render those babies to obtain delicious fatty wonderment. Plus you get cracklings, and cracklings are pure joy. Hot cooking oil will solidify inside the drainpipe just like candle wax, which gradually decreases the diameter of the pipe with a greasy buildup until the pipe stops draining altogether. Accidents do happen when it comes to cooking oil disposal, especially when you have guests trying to help you tidy up after a holiday meal.
If grease or cooking oil does make its way into your sink, take immediate action with these tips from Roto-Rooter:. If your sink is still slow, use a plunger to further dislodge the grease clog.
Not having any luck with these fixes? Unfortunately, you will need to call a plumber. Tossing your used cooking oil outside is not a proper way to dispose of grease. If you pour oil on the ground, it will eventually make its way into the sewer system and cause clogs there.
Additionally, animal or vegetable-based oils and greases can cause issues for wildlife when left outside, according to the EPA. While small amounts of vegetable-based oils in your compost may be fine, a large amount will cause airflow and moisture issues, ruining your fertilizer.
Animal fats should be kept out of your compost pile because they will smell, attract vermin and cause other problems that could make your compost unhealthy. Unless you want to invite your local plumber over for dessert, always avoid pouring oil down the drain. Use a container to dump it in then put in trash. I use emptied jars like from mayo, peanuts, etc.
I save them all. You use Mayo or peanut jar. Usually they are plastic jars. Is it safe cuz oil still hot. I usually use glass jars. Yes, always allow oil to cool before putting in any container. There are no guarantees when it comes to glass. Bearings lubricated with centralized or single-point auto-lubers are perhaps most at risk for cake-lock. When soft grease is being fed into the bearing but only oil emerges from the exhaust port, there is a cake-lock failure in progress.
The thickener is being logjammed in the bearing cavity. In centralized lube systems, cake blockage can occur in the lines between the pump and the dosage injectors as well. To prevent cake-lock, select a suitable low-risk grease formulation and ensure the grease flow is sufficiently high to avoid static conditions that give rise to separation and blockage. Some long-fiber grease thickeners e. Standardized tests for mobility and pumpability are good for screening grease with high cake-lock risks.
Frequent movement of grease also can keep the flow path fresh and inhibit blockage. However, there may still be some unavoidable zones of dry grease that build up in adjacent side cavities. As mentioned earlier, vigilantly monitor the quality of lubricant that emerges from bearings in total-loss applications once through. Sampling grease from a catch pan for consistency, oil content analysis, oxidation and contamination can be helpful.
Use a lab with experience in analyzing used grease samples, as the techniques vary sharply from standard ASTM grease-performance testing methods.
Tools are now available to extract grease samples directly from running bearing cavities, too. Additionally, investing in technology to monitor bearing health is proving to be of significant value to plants around the world. Not only is a condition monitoring system going to help prevent grease from drying out, it will save you time and money by reducing unplanned downtime. Finally, always get feedback from rebuild shops on what they are seeing inside failed bearings.
Any appearance of grease that is questionable hardness, color, contamination, oxidation, etc. Allow failure to be a teacher for continuous improvement.

Cake-lock Failures A cake-lock failure is like a microscopic logjam.
Condition Monitoring is Key to Early Detection As mentioned earlier, vigilantly monitor the quality of lubricant that emerges from bearings in total-loss applications once through. Jim Fitch. For oil, grease, and fat that do not solidify, mix with an absorbent material until all the moisture has been absorbed.
Then dispose of it in the trash. DON'T Do not use a garbage disposal. Grinding food up before rinsing it down the drain does not remove FOG; it just makes the pieces smaller. Do not pour cooking oil, pan drippings, grease, salad dressings, or sauces down the sink. Do not use cloth towels or rags to scrape plates or clean greasy or oily dishware.
When you wash them, the grease will end up in the sewer. Do not run water over greasy dishes or pans.
