As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.
People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.
Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, "flushable" wipes, etc), half grease and fats.
If it's a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn't go down the drain.
so would olive oil be ok
Yes, Popeye will eat his spinach and rescue her.
Nope. Nothing oily that doesn't rinse away completely with water. Most people forget butter and peanut butter, too.
But olive oil does rinse away pretty easily with water and washing up liquid? So does butter and bacon fat?
Nothing oily that doesn't rinse away with water?
Why do you keep focusing on "water"? I don't get what you're getting at. You don't wash dishes with just water. Water is a very small and inconsequential component of the process.
You wash dishes by squeezing some dishwashing liquid on a dishwashing sponge, then pour hot water onto the dish being cleaned and leave it on as you clean, then you scrub the dish clean with the sponge while water flows over washing away what's left.
Then when there are no longer any visible stains on the dishes in question, the dishes are considered clean and you put them on a drying rack and/or pat them down with a towel to ensure dryness.
All i see going into the sink during this process is soapy water. I've no idea what is or isn't "grease" of that liquid. It's all just food waste. It disappears away into nothingness, as it should.
Why it could cause any issues all of a sudden when it never has and the only place people have ever mentioned it or claimed to do it is on the internet.
Ig it's like one of those "put an iPhone in a microwave" trolling things to get people to keep jars of dirt/trash/food waste and spread insects and/or disease?
Edit: Downvoted because you're upset at the mention of dishes?
The question was can I pour oil down the drain. The "Rule of Thumb" (a general catch-all rule that plumbers use) is if it can't rinse away with water, don't pour it down the drain. I replied to whether you can pour olive oil down the drain. I don't know why you started talking about washing dishes.
Keep it in a mug by the sink
Every time the mug fills up, dump it into a pot of very hot water, give it a stir, pour it into a mason jar, seal it tightly, and put it in the fridge upside down.
When it's cold, dump out the water, scrape the thin top layer of crap off, and voila, you have perfectly usable high smoke point salted lard for frying.
If you fry fresh pork belly, save that fat separately, do the same thing, and you have pure lard.
Or, alternatively, you could eat healthy.
Oh fuck off.
Correct
Oh my how original. No I will not eat ze bugs. Are you gonna bitch and cry about le poor animals now too?
It's such surface level emotional thinking. Like if you just think about it for a moment - let 'em mfers burn and churn, momma needs her protein dust.
Cost us over $200 to get a plumber to fix the drain when my partner decided to feed an entire jar of whole pickles into the garbage disposal.
Why would pickles fuck it up?
You don't have Plumbo or equivalent?
