I understand the idea of just throwing it out if it appears black, and putting a strainer on the container to pour it through if still looking reusable. I'm just wondering if any traces or few drips from the beverages mixing with the oil will have any significant effect on the next use? So I'm guessing it's definitely a good idea to rinse and dry the container first before storing oil in it?When storing cooking oil in beverage containers, will traces of remaining water, soda, or juice interfere?
Actually, you should NOT store and re-use your oil at all. Cooking oil that has been heated twice changes in chemical composition and causes free radicals (elements of a destructive nature) in our bodies. Understanding free radicals is too long for this forum, but you can go to nutrition websites and learn more. That means you should store the oil in re-seal-able containers and send it out with the garbage.
Some communities have you put the oils and fats from cooking on the curb when your garbage is to be picked up, and some just have you put them in the garbage can. But do not use oil that has been heated twice. Two times is okay, though.When storing cooking oil in beverage containers, will traces of remaining water, soda, or juice interfere?
Used cooking oil isn't re-used because it's carcinogenic. I'm not sure of juice traces blending in but that's the least of your worries
Well there you have it...you answered your own question! Rinse and dry!

Cleaning up cooking oil spill?
My 4 year old managed to pour about 3 cups of cooking oil out on the hardwood floor in the playroom. I've mopped and mopped and it's still slippery. Any tips?Cleaning up cooking oil spill?
Get some SALT, BAKING SODA, or anything absorbent. Let it soak it up for a bit. Then sweep or wipe up the mess, do it TOWARD the center of the spill to avoid spreading leftover oil and making an even bigger spot. THEN, get you some GREASE LIGHTNING. You can get it at walmart. This should take it right off! I use it like CRAZY for greasy, oily messes. Also, dish washing liquid with extra strength grease fighting power will work, you just may have to do it a few times!Cleaning up cooking oil spill?
Wet mopping won't really help you on this because the water in the mop will not only repel the oil it can damage your hardwood.
I'd go after it with dry absorbent cloths, just keep rubbing it and changing your cloths.
I would throw baking soda, salt, cat litter, sand or even flour over the area. Once it has soaked up all it can, you can just scoop it up with a spatula and then wipe the area down as usual. Any of these methods will work without spreading the mess everywhere.
I wonder if vinegar might help to cut it down. I don't know how that would work on the wood itself. Maybe if you go to Home Depot or Lowe's, someone might be able to help you, or point you in the direction of some kind of solvent that wouldn't be harmful to your floor.
Blot it first with paper towels or newspaper or something to absorb the extra oil. After that, use full strength dish washing liquid, preferably Dawn. Absorb that (you can use a mop this time) and then gradually use water until the dish washing liquid is gone.
pour some baking soda or salt on and sweep it around- those are pretty absorbent and should get a good amount up.
I'm just guessing here, but nothing cuts grease better than alcohol..maybe a little rubbing alcohol in the mop water?
cat litter...baby powder....baking soda...anything that will absorb the oil....if these dont do it..try using degreaser in small areas...as it is hardwood flooring..

How do you dispose of cooking oil?
Cooking oil should not be poured down drains. Cooking oil, such as that used for frying can often be reused. Once the oil has cooled pour into a plastic bottle and dispose with normal domestic waste. Alternatively you could dispose the cooking oil by tipping it onto soil in your garden as it contains many minerals which are very good for the soil.How do you dispose of cooking oil?
I save bottles or cans-preferable w/ lids. make sure the oil is cool before pouring-esp if using plastic containersHow do you dispose of cooking oil?
mix it with cold running water as you pur it down the drain. of you dont mix it, your drain will clog.
umm...garbage? or down the drain.
I pour the used oil in an empty oil jug or milk jug and put it out with the garbage.
you re-use it
you cant put it in the sink because it clogs it up you have to put it in a cup and wait until it gets hard (not very long) and put it in the trash can it is not hazardous waste or anything but you just cant put it in the sink
Either let it run down the drain %26amp; follow it with hot hot water for about 5min or put it in a container %26amp; let it harden then throw it in the trash can. Cold water will make it harden %26amp; clog pipes. Your best bet is to clean it ASAP %26amp; use the hot water b/c it's messy when it hardens %26amp; if the container is worth keeping you have to worry about making a mess getting it out of there.
I usually just pour it outside in the woods behind our house.If that isn't good for you save the bottles that oil comes in or any other type of bottle and pour your old oil in it and discard in the trash.
I have a can I dump it into, then dump it in the trash. If I had a maker, I'd make biodiesel out of it.
I would put it in a jar of some sort %26amp; throw it in the trash. It will only clog your drains.
make it into biodiesel!
=P
Have fun saving the world!!!
I pour it on the ground in the woods.
If you have an empty water/soda/juice bottle, then you could put the cooking oil in that - just let the oil cool down first.
If you have a little bit (home cooking), just run it down the drain with hot water. If you have a lot (restaurant cooking) you'll need to get a hold of another restaurant and ask them how they dispose of theirs. Most restaurants have it picked up by a service.
not down the drain,,,stop it up
since its not a harmful substance it can be put in a trash but to keep it cleaner you might need to put it in a bottle. or you could just put it down the sink
The best thing to do is poor the oil in a vegtable can and let it harden, once it hardens you can throw it in the trash. If you dont have a can you can dump it down the sink with hot hot water running behind it. Make sure its hot water because if its cold it can make the oil harden in your drain pipes and cause a clog in the drain.
I save old milk cartons place some paper towels in there and put oil in there once the oil has cooled off.
If its just a little bit then I just wash it down the sink. If it's a lot you could always re-use it?
turn on the hot water as hot as possible and pour down the drain, mixing it with the water
Pure it in large coffee can and then trash it when the can is filled
Pour it into another container, like a soda bottle or an empty mayonnaise jar, seal it, and throw in garbage; or use lots of paper towels to help soak it up if you can't find a sealable container. Whatever you do, do NOT pour it down the drain. It can clog your pipes and cost you lots of money for a plumber. Oil and grease also causes havoc with the city sewage system.
dump it outside..
i don't know if ur supposed to, but i pour mine down the sink then clean it with the specialist sink/drainage products... nothings happend so far!!!
down the drainpassions soap opera

Dawn dish liquid is great at removing grease stains.:)
I use that stuff to clean floors to remove nasty stains from stuff, its called Murphy's Oil..I use it to detail the inside of my car..it works GREAT, even takes out motor oil and stuff! Try it sometime

How long can you keep cooking oil stored in its original container? Does it ever go stale, or ';spoil';?
My friend has some cooking oil that is 6 years old! He insists that oil never stales, and that it's safe to use forever! I beg to differ, although the oil looks oaky, who is right? I think he needs to trash it, he says keep it!How long can you keep cooking oil stored in its original container? Does it ever go stale, or ';spoil';?
your in luck i used to work for bunge oil and i can tell you that it does not really spoil what happens is that it loses it power and wont really keep things afloat if you know what i meanHow long can you keep cooking oil stored in its original container? Does it ever go stale, or ';spoil';?
oil will keep indefinitly but in time all food oxidizes and that changes flavor color and taste not to good. best to always use fresh products.
Oil does go bad!
I would not want to eat anything cooked in old oil.
yes oil gets old and it may have a funny taste and smell, but it will not hurt you. It will make your food taste funny. But if it is mold do not use because there is something besides oil in the bottle.
i'VE NEVER REALLY HAD IT SPOIL OR GO STAIL ON ME AND I DONT REALLY USE MINE A WHOLE LOT. SO I'D SAY JUST SMELL IT OR SOMETHING BEFROE YOU USE IT.....LOL
no...oil does go stale...it develops a sticky feeling and smells too...why take the risk of posing serious health hazards like cancer? better use hygienic stuff and renew ur oil in intervals...
Depends on the type of oil as to how long it will take. Certain nut oils will go bad VERY VERY fast, much like the nut itself will go rancid fast. These oils, you may want to keep in the freezer. (mostly oils for flavor, i.e. sesame oil)
Olive oil will last longer than those nut oils, but you will be able to tell a flavor difference when they have started to go bad. Until the flavor is unbearable, you can use olive oil that has started to go bad as regular pan frying oil. Make sure you keep these in a cool dark place.
Most safflower/sunflower/peanut/vegetable oils will last a LONG LONG time as long as it isn't hot, or in direct sunlight.
I think it has to do with the monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and polysaturated natures ... or something like that.
umm...i wouldn't keep it unused for over 6 months.

How can I get a cooking oil stain out of a cotton shirt?
I didnt discover the stain until I had already washed and dried it.How can I get a cooking oil stain out of a cotton shirt?
Make a paste of baking soda and a liquid dish soap, such as Dawn. Apply it to the stained area and let it sit for 20 minutes or so. Launder as usual in the hottest water safe for the fabric.How can I get a cooking oil stain out of a cotton shirt?
Get some Simple Green. It's a spray cleaner that's available in hardware, automotive and some grocery and discount stores like Wal-Mart. Give the stain a good spray, let it lay for a good hour and wash. Might have to do this a couple of times.
The next best and it might work is Dawn dish detergent. It's a maybe but if you have it, try it and see.
I work in a restaurant and always am getting oil or grease on me. Sometimes I don't see it until it comes out of dryer. I am a firm believer in spray n wash. I have even bought things from yard sales and brought them home and used it on them and the stains come out.
I've also heard that Dawn works well. I haven't tried it yet. They use it on wildlife that gets covered in oil so that says alot :) I just bought that new oxyclean laundry spray and it works pretty well. It helps to let it sit overnight tho.
