Cooking oil is an essential ingredient in a bustling kitchen. It is used in an array of culinary processes and is often used in high volume.

Everyone wants to recycle their used cooking oil, but there are different ways to the job done. Here are 4 popular ways to remove hot oil from restaurant fryers so it can be safely stored for pickup.

North America loves meat and fried foods. Unfortunately, preparing these delicious foods generates a lot of waste. The most visible form is plate waste - but some 'leftovers' aren't quite as obvious. In a typical western diet, only 60% of the cow, chicken or pig is consumed. The remaining 40% is deemed inedible for human diets. But food "waste" doesn't have to be wasted! Meat fats and used cooking oil can be recycled.

Cooking oil is a core element of the frying process for any commercial kitchen. If your restaurant menu is littered with delicious fried food, then odds are that you pour through a lot of frying oil. Once a batch of oil has reached the end of its frying life, it must go somewhere. ​ There are safe and responsible ways to dispose of used cooking oil, but not everyone uses them, nor do they know the effects of irresponsibly disposing of cooking oil.

Cooking oil is a staple within commercial kitchens. It’s required for deep frying, and the various types of cooking oil to choose from affect the taste and texture of the food. ​ Once a batch of restaurant cooking oil is spent and no longer good for frying, it must be disposed of somewhere. Because it is a liquid, you might be tempted to pour restaurant cooking grease down the drain, but that should never be an option. What might seem like an easy solution to dispose of waste, will only cause your business major problems, costing you time and money in the long run. ​ Here is a look at what happens when used cooking oil is poured down the drain and why your restaurant staff should never do it. ​

Why subject your kitchen staff to the hazards and inefficiencies of hand-carrying hot grease outside and dumping it into a bin? An automated system that seamlessly pumps oil from the fryer into a storage container at the flip of a switch is a safer and more efficient way of handling your used cooking oil.
