There's a better, safer way to remove your used fryer oil Many restaurants still transfer their used cooking oil the hard way. A store employee drains the hot oil into a bucket, and hand carries it out the back door, dumping it into a large bin as he tries not to spill any grease in the parking lot that could cause him, or a customer, to slip. This method not only carries the risk of injury (burns, slips and falls), but also exposes the restaurant to the very real and growing threat of grease theft. All of this carries with it a potential loss of revenue for the restaurant or supermarket manager. Good news!
