How to Dispose of Cooking Oil Properly

Every kitchen sees its fair share of leftover cooking oil. While you might be tempted to simply pour it down the sink or flush it, here’s a reality check: it’s a bad idea.

The incorrect disposal of oil doesn’t just jeopardize your plumbing but could also dig a deep hole in your pocket when it solidifies, causing blockages.

Understanding the Drain Issue

The drain might seem like an easy escape route for your used cooking oil, but it’s quite the opposite. As the oil cools within the pipelines, it turns into a gluey mess, sticking to the pipes. Over a period, this could result in blockages, leading to expensive plumbing bills. Moral of the story? Keep that oil away from the drain.

How To Make THE BEST DIP IN THE WORLD

I printed this recipe years ago, but I never had the need for the sauce until recently. Boy, am I glad I did! I’ve taken it to two parties and had many people ask me for the recipe. They’re surprised at how easy it is. The leek soup mixture is the key ingredient, and it tastes much better than the vegetable (IMHO). I used a full 10 oz. package of spinach (you need it for texture), and doubled the recipe. It works best if you squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as you can. Otherwise, it might be too liquid. Overall, it’s quick, easy, delicious, and will become a staple of my entertainment!

Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 cups sour cream (I used light)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup sliced green onion

Directions:
