After a frying session, don’t just discard the leftover oil. Here are sustainable ways to reuse it, reducing waste and getting the most out of your cooking oil.
Strain and store oil to use in future frying or sautéing, as long as it hasn’t been overheated or burnt.
Used oil can be a key ingredient in homemade soap, combining sustainability with creativity.
Apply leftover oil to condition wooden spoons, cutting boards, and other kitchen tools.
Turn leftover oil into a simple oil lamp for emergency lighting or ambiance.
Mix small amounts of used oil into your compost, where it can break down naturally.
