Hello Lee
First of al when your pans are stil warm let it
drip in to a old pan for storidge or
bucket then clean your pan or what ever with paper instead of down the kitchen sink believe me even oil wil screw up your pipes over time then the paper is perfict for starting fire's or just the
compost heap
I usualy use the oil again for cooking for my 4 basterd german schepards just a little with lots of old bread and other scraps
If you don't mind the smel you can use it in old oil lamps or those beach torches
I love the
permaculture way of thinking nothing is a wasteproduct !
Or i even use it on my gates and stuf its organic and becouse it rains you need to lubricate these things more than hinges inside
My sister likes throwing everything down the sink but after fixing it a few times now sche can pay some one to go fix it
HAHA
