@@tungstenwhizard4361 problem is that high heat makes fatbgo rancid and, as i inderstand it, produces free radicals that damage proteins and cells, which causes mutations, so your risk for cancer goes up.

Yes, we can! It is called biodiesel. If you are interested, u can read the scientific journal about it. In Indonesia, there's already several bussiness whose making biodiesel from oil waste but it still on development to evaluate the impact of biodiesel to machine and environment.

This is the first comment I've seen so far that is about what other resourceful things you could do with your old oil and isn't going crazy like, "Omg, why is he doing that, I would have reused that oil so many times until one day 50 years later I would have inherited it to my grandchildren."

No you aren't the only one. It's just that the other thousands are usually too busy upcycling stuff and preserving or creating value so they don't have the time to watch or even comment on how-to-waste (food, fuel, chemicals, money... you-name-it)
@qoppie you need a stainless steel reactor vessel. Most people use electric water heaters. Basically the first step is a methoxide reaction. Get some methanol and a catalyst (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) mix them and allow it to cool (it will give off heat from the reaction. Then collect some used cooking oil and filter out any impurities. Allow it to settle and then drain excess water. Then mix the methoxide with the oil and agitate the molecules (stir it all up) Then drain the glycerin coproducts from the bottom, or siphon the biodiesel from the top, leaving what’s left in bottom to be disposed of later. Obviously take precautions since your working with flammable and caustic chemicals. Also this is just a rough idea of the steps. It’s something I’ve researched and looked into, but never actually done myself.
@@mattiemathis9549 it's about the same as gelatin. He even says in the video that the oil is suspended in fat molecules. What makes you think it takes forever to break down? Set it outside on a hot day and it would just melt away. It's a food, not motor oil.
I use my oil 3 or 4 times then use it as an accelerant to burn brush piles, you can also mix it 50 50 with red diesel and spray on rough cut lumber and let it sit in the sun, water proof and bug proof.
came here, looking for this! What a waste they make of oil! Good for so many applications! I use the same recipe to treat my wooden fence once a year. no bugs, no cracks & nearly free.
In the Netherlands you can just take it back to the store. You just have to put it back in the container, all bits that got in there can go in as well.
There are not many “french fry” (grease) cars around anymore. We used to own one and it is like a full time job trying to get and keep it running. There are businesses that collect restaurant oil/grease. Not sure what they do with it, but you can see the tanker trucks pull up behind restaurants and commercial kitchens from time to time and pump out the giant grease traps.
Biodiesel is definitely still a thing. Willy Nelson is a part owner in two factories that process it but no, xooking oil and petroleum oil aren't the same thing. Biodiesel is almost solely used for large vehicles.
@@NoThatRyan don't you process biodiesel with a strong base and oil? Iirc it's part glycerine part biodiesel that gets produced when you mix oil and NaOH? It might've been a different base
You know you can just pour the oil into your garden it's 100% biodegradable. Also soak a newspaper in the oil and just use it as a fire starter. Or sell it to someone that can use it as fuel for something else.
@@johnnylego807 I use a stick of green wood, split the tip, wrap it with some tissue (like old jeans or shirts) and the soak it into oil, light it up and it burns for about thirty minutes or so. Be careful to hold it at an angle so you don't burn yourself with oil drippings. :)
I found a restaurant near me that lets me use his “cooking oil dumpster” I’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s a special dumpster just for used cooking oils. It gets hauled off and recycled.
Umm it’s in its own container for a reason. Oil is extremely messy. It can clog plumbing and causes a huge mess when thrown in the dumpsters. Chances are not being recycled just disposed off properly.

If you add to your home compost, be prepared for the smell and the bugs. 9 times out of ten the waste oil has some sort of poultry or meat product residue. Meat/animal items compost slowly while vegetation composts relatively quick. I'd like to add that that's an assumption based on experience. Not sure if that's what he was talking.
Commercial compost is monitored (almost) daily for proper temperature, aeration, moisture, etc and is "turned" mechanically on an optimal basis. All that is necessary to break down fats and proteins reliably.

This is stearic acid flakes. It's used in lotions and candles and can be used to make various butters and other foods you want to solidify. It is not water-soluble and is non-toxic/vegan/halal as well.
You can use it for candles. You need to put in some stuff with fragrance so that oil solidifies and it smells good, you can also put in color pallets to change color.

After frying crumb fried chicken or chicken popcorn I don't throw the oil away Infact I reuse it to make fried rice or chicken curry or any other dish The flavour the oil has soaked up earlier imparts in the other dishes I cook I tell you it's really good Infact the oil should be of good quality as well Depending what oil can be reused
I wonder if it can burn, if it can do so while holding its shape like a candle or used as stove fuel or a fire starter? Can it be liquefied with heat and resolidify?
Man, I'm Finnish and we pretty much never deep fry any traditional foods. There is only one exeption, vappu-donuts. They basically donuts made with pulla-dough, kinda of a cinnamon bun dough with cardamom in it. They are deep fried and the excess oil is put in milk cartons that are tossed out in trashcans that are specifically put out for them near stores
@@sparkyheberling6115 true, which is why 2-3 uses is best before you actually toss it out, sides, it's good practice, and depending on the oil it could have other uses too
In Indonesia, some people use frying oil waste to make candle or bar soap and especially in my village, we use this waste to fertilize plants or making fire to generate the traditional stoves. So, its not really a waste here😅
Awesome idea drains are blocked everywhere from oil and fat but can be hard and messy to get rid of this product should be on every shop shelf selling cooking oil or lard
Save the used cooking oil in jars. Get carbon felt, cut into 1 inch strips, roll a strip up and place in a 1/2 inch copper tube(you have made a candle wick), place in a Terra cotta plate with a small amount if the cooking oil, let the felt soak up the oil for 5-10 minutes, and light the "candle wick". The oil will burn but not the felt. If you place a Terra cotta pot on top, leaving at least a 1 inch air gap at the bottom you have created a heater for the garden or a heater for the house in a blackout situation.
@@end.olives not the dirty one, I just use oil for frying 1 time only, and then use that oil for making sauce after frying the foods. so the oil color is still the same like in the video, for me it's not dirty, but I don't know if other people consider that kind of oil is dirty.
@@ahyarhartanto1802 its alright like that i guess, sauces usually are not heated so it wouldnt further the saturation process in the oils which make them unhealthy. In my house we make soap out of the leftover oil, its nice that u dont throw it away.
Used oil tastes the best, I hate it when I fry a batch of chicken with with new oil. After the 3rd or 4th fry, the chicken goes to another level. I just keep adding oil when the level goes down in my fryer.
Reusing oil is fine but only a few times. The more you use it the more toxic it becomes. Search up chinese sewer oil. It's the extreme case but the idea is that reused oil is hella toxic. Would love me some fried tendies rn tho lol

Es una grandísima idea !!!!👍👍👍👍
How does it burn? ❤️🔥
It’s probably a good fire starter
@@eliza6971 is this thing flammable? Cause if it is i think im gonna make fried chicken scented candle... 😂
Brazilians making soap with oil: IS THIS JOKE?
At 29, I’m only just learning people throw away oil after use. Where I’m from we reuse it till there’s nothing left. Yes, we’re pretty healthy😅
Where are you from?
@@michaelliu2961 Nigerian
What do you reuse it for? Like you cook with it?
@@veev232 exactly! We use, reuse, seive the particles when it's "dirty" and eventually use it to make stew or moi-moi! 🙈
Look up the news on Chinese people using sewer oil to cook. “Sewer”
Can it be used for oil spills?
I can't wait to try this hack! 🔥 Speaking of kitchen tips, Honey Lavender Magic is my go-to for minor burns. A handy home remedy that I always keep on hand! 💜
The joy on your face as you played with the oily jello was awesome. 😂
that soi face though
Can you portion this into bulletproof coffee?
The only fat you want in bulletproof coffee is solid at room temperature anyway
@@juultoo isn't it kind of the dichotomy: you use solid, grass fed butter only to melt it in the coffee and blend?
I need this product!
Thank you!!!
I put my oil in a bowl lined with aluminum foil. Put in fridge until it's solidified and then crumple it and put in little bag, then toss in trash.
Cheaper idea
Good way to pollute !
makes a perfect midnight snack
Everyone talking about how clean that oil looks probably doesn't realize he just poured some fresh oil for the video's sake lol
Yeah what a waste on so many levels.
After frying crumb fried chicken or chicken popcorn I don't throw the oil away
Infact I reuse it to make fried rice or chicken curry or any other dish
The flavour the oil has soaked up earlier imparts in the other dishes I cook
I tell you it's really good
Infact the oil should be of good quality as well
Depending what oil can be reused
I love this stuff
Me a village boy with my no PUFA oils and straight up animal fat: 😎
I'm curious what you do when your frying fat is a little over used for cooking in.
Looks like a decent cheap replacement for ballistic gel?
just that it is much more expensive
Can I eat it and lose weight?
You could eat it then go into cardiac arrest, I'm told that makes you lose alot of weight.
Wouldn't recommend it.
I wonder if it can burn, if it can do so while holding its shape like a candle or used as stove fuel or a fire starter? Can it be liquefied with heat and resolidify?
Will it melt under high temp?
Man, I'm Finnish and we pretty much never deep fry any traditional foods. There is only one exeption, vappu-donuts. They basically donuts made with pulla-dough, kinda of a cinnamon bun dough with cardamom in it. They are deep fried and the excess oil is put in milk cartons that are tossed out in trashcans that are specifically put out for them near stores
I'm from the Southern US and I've seen every animal and plant put on this earth fried at least once.
@@kimberlywilson7929 🤣🤣
Thanks! Now I have dessert after my meal!
If it was sweet
Omg!!!!!! You just threw out good oil.
Almost like he was demonstrating a product 😂
Would the gel be better for burning 🔥?
Is there any way to modify it to be active at room temperature? Would be awesome at cleaning up environmental oil spills.
looks yummy 🤤
I'm so glad most people out here are reusing their oil. The fact that he threw out perfectly clean oil is making me crazy 😭
Pretty sure the oil gets increasingly toxic and carcinogenic with repeated heating up.
@@austenhead5303 It kinda depends how "used" it was. If its smell like cancer, you shpuldn't reuse it
Whoa, that is awesome man. Thanks for sharing. 😊🌎✨
Can this be modified and applied to ocean oil spills?
This actually is fuckin cool and the first time I have found shorts helpful in over a year
I just save the oil for later batches, letting the oil cool while I heat up a jar helps
The oil degrades with each use, especially when frying meat.
@@sparkyheberling6115 true, which is why 2-3 uses is best before you actually toss it out, sides, it's good practice, and depending on the oil it could have other uses too
@@quinncykaluzniak5429 I’ve heard that some motor vehicles run on used oil. When you drive behind then they smell like french fries!
In Indonesia, some people use frying oil waste to make candle or bar soap and especially in my village, we use this waste to fertilize plants or making fire to generate the traditional stoves. So, its not really a waste here😅
That is a much better idea. I find most Japanese gizmos redundant and obsessive.
He looks like the love child of Keith and Zach from Try Guys
He does
That's actually why I clicked on this video- I was intrigued by this person lol
Yes. But how is the gel for the environment? Just a question.
Is this gelatin oil still flammable ?
I just pour it back into the original container using a funnel. Or if I lost the original container, a gallon of milk container.
Only works if you don't fry meat
@@Sentient_Goose Huh? I think they meant for disposal, not saving on the countertop or anything.
"Behaving like a solid" had me laughing!🤣
Can I eat it?
Asking the real question here
@@THATotherGUY415
😂😂 spread it on a biscuits and let me know
It’s still oil though if you eat that whole thing you would most likely die
Why would you want to eat coagulated oil? It is still 100% fat
@@pangkaji I dont want to, I want to know IF its possible/safe.
Awesome idea drains are blocked everywhere from oil and fat but can be hard and messy to get rid of this product should be on every shop shelf selling cooking oil or lard
Save the used cooking oil in jars. Get carbon felt, cut into 1 inch strips, roll a strip up and place in a 1/2 inch copper tube(you have made a candle wick), place in a Terra cotta plate with a small amount if the cooking oil, let the felt soak up the oil for 5-10 minutes, and light the "candle wick". The oil will burn but not the felt. If you place a Terra cotta pot on top, leaving at least a 1 inch air gap at the bottom you have created a heater for the garden or a heater for the house in a blackout situation.
wait so they made a product created just to be gotten rid of 💀
Trash bags are that, too, though!
my brain: *e a t i t*
OMG 😳.. Yucky NO EAT. 🤣
I must be in reptile brain mode. I admit I am v e r y sleepy atm. Anyway, just thinking of why I switched from oleo margarine to butter cured me. 🦋
I usually only use oil 2 times
1. frying some foods
2. the rest is used to make sauce
so no oil is wasted 😂
Please dont tell me youre using the dirty oil from frying to do sauces
@@end.olives not the dirty one, I just use oil for frying 1 time only, and then use that oil for making sauce after frying the foods.
so the oil color is still the same like in the video, for me it's not dirty, but I don't know if other people consider that kind of oil is dirty.
@@end.olives that’s how pan sauces are traditionally made, in the same pot you fried/seared food. Naturally if he’s pan frying not deep frying.
@@ahyarhartanto1802 its alright like that i guess, sauces usually are not heated so it wouldnt further the saturation process in the oils which make them unhealthy. In my house we make soap out of the leftover oil, its nice that u dont throw it away.
Does this gel make it any less terrible for it to be disposed of in a landfill?
That's very cool 👏👏👏👏 well done Japan
Used oil tastes the best, I hate it when I fry a batch of chicken with with new oil. After the 3rd or 4th fry, the chicken goes to another level. I just keep adding oil when the level goes down in my fryer.
Reusing oil is fine but only a few times. The more you use it the more toxic it becomes. Search up chinese sewer oil. It's the extreme case but the idea is that reused oil is hella toxic. Would love me some fried tendies rn tho lol
