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.

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

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

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

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.

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‽

Who puts fat down their drain hates their plumbing system.

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

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

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

The jar got stuck in my drain.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

Edit: formatting

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

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.

Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!
