To wonder how to get rid of liquid fat?

I use foil at the bottom of the roasting pan, wait for it to cool, and throw the foil away with the congealed fat. Anything left I wipe paper towels and throw away, which is also what I do when there's not too much fat, like when pan-frying. On the rare occasions I use lots of oil to fry onions, I pour the cooled oil into plastic container and just use as regular oil until it's gone. So I'll use that for roast potatoes for example, rather than my fresh oil from the bottle. Not only does it taste great, but saves money; I use cold-pressed rapeseed so can't afford to be chucking pans of it away! I don't deep-fry meat or anything, not sure if I'd be as keen to reuse that oil.

You are nuts to have been pouring it down the drain. The drain is not a bin.
It sets in the pipe or it goes to the sewers and adds to fatbergs.

Get something that's not recyclable like an empty pot or pouch that's too grubby to wash and recycle and pour it in that, then put it in the bin.

You can stick it on a piece of paper (a piece old newspaper or magazine) then bin it when set.

We don't have lots of liquid fat but know what you mean about fat after cooking (ribs are bad for this)

We keep a plastic box in the freezer lwith a food bag in, if we have any liquid we chuck bread crusts in the bottom and pour it onto that, then 0op back in the freezer until bin day

We don't have much or often. It goes in an empty plastic bottle with our food waste.

Or put it out for the birds

I just keep.a jar from coffee/jam/pasta sauce and pour any fat in, then I. The general.waste bin when it is full.
Ours is usually from cooking mince or liquid fro. A whole chicken which probably wouldn't solidify but is a bit gross

I don't have a lot, but when do I pour it in the garden under the bushes

I use am empty oil bottle (sunflower or olive oil).
Keep it on the side & empty meat juices (roast chicken & sausages mainly) into it.
When it is full I put it in a bread bag, tie it off & put in the general rubbish.
Takes several months to fill a bottle, but it has a cap so it just sits there on the side.

I tip it into a small bowl / ramekin and put in the fridge.

Night before bin day, I scrape any bowls of solid fat into the bin ready for collection the next day.

no plastic is involved

I put it in a foil dish, let it harden and then leave it out for the birds.

Our water company (Yorkshire Water) gives out free Gunk Pots - a small silicone container with a lid and a scraper, specifically for getting rid of cooking fat.

Solidified fat goes in the bin, wrapped in newspaper, used cooking oil from deep frying gets stored in a plastic bottle then gets taken to the recycling centre / tip.

I rarely if ever do deep fat frying. I do cook with small amounts olive oil and cold pressed rape seed oil which then gets washed away in the sink but I'm not sure what can be done about that tbh.

Pour into porridge oats and put out for the birds
Pour into flour or any other absorbent medium then put in food waste bin, or just wait until its solid and put in food waste.
If it was fat from meat, my grandparents (and parents) would have poured it into a bowl and when it was cool, spread it on bread ("bread and dripping")

In that situation I put some clingfilm in a small bowl, spoon the fat off the surface into it and let it cool.

I put mine in a jar and chuck it. I don't use that much so I only end up throwing away one glass jar every few months, the current one has been going for ages. The world isn't going to end any sooner because of that. It's far better than putting the fat into the drains

This

I usually find a random container that would normally be recycled but, as others have said, not recycling one bottle, tin or pot is better than pouring fat down the sink

When tidying up after a meal, reheat the fat slightly and pour it into an empty jam (or other) jar. Put the lid on and do the same next time you have leftover fat until the jar is full. Then put the jar full of fat in your landfill bin. Then you are only 'wasting' one recyclable container.

I put mine on the garden some place, hoping it'll add something to the soil. However it's never meat based. And never very much.

We pour it into a container, then drop it off at the local Chinese takeaway. They get paid for their waste oil so they dont mind.

Don't deep fry, it's so unhealthy. If you insist on having fries you can make them in an air fryer.

If there are little quantities of oil left from normal frying, I just pour them in the bin as there are always kitchen towels etc in there to absorb it

Meat fat will solidify, so you could just have scraped that into the bin when it was cold and solid, or into some kitchen roll to be binned.

I keep an empty tin can by the sink and empty any fat or oil into it, when it's full, I scrunch some kitchen roll in the top and nestle it upright in the kitchen bin, to go out with the general waste. That minimises the tins that don't go to recycling. Ghee tins are great because they have a lid.

Definitely not down the sink, that's how fatbergs form and they cost us millions.
