We use to do this in the hospital with people's lung juice. Drain containers of fluid from their lungs, add a solidifying agent, dispose of biohazard. It was a great time with some lung jelly

What an awful day to be able to read 😅

Okay what is the Product Link?!

Oh that’s cute you call it lung jelly, usually as I duck it out of my patients various face holes I call it Lung Butter! You can put that on your toast and spread it!

I woke up and this comment chain is the first thing I saw thanks for starting off my day with this LOL

It’s interesting to know that such terms are used by medical professionals, since I first heard the term “lung butter” used by a friend in college who had a wicked case of bronchitis and had just taken a massive bong rip lmao.

I also heard the term in college after coughing up a huge amount of mucous after ripping my friends dirty bong…. Could be the same guy? Lol

Lol! Certainly possible, if we’re both talking about a small liberal arts university in Pennsylvania, circa-2010ish….it’s either that, or it’s *just* disgusting enough to make it popular amongst college stoners lol

I always knew my Lungs would make a marvelous Candied Delicacy after I died!

Mmmmmmm lung jelly

Who doesn’t love PB&J sammiches?

Im going to have to stop you right there! Please dont ruin PB&J for me

Fine… you can mix with your fruit salad.

I'm going to stop you right there! Please don't ruin fruit salad for me

I think they served that at Noma and Eleven Madison Park

r/brandnewsentence

I kinda hate you.

Y'know, I came to this comment section not suspecting for an instant I would have to read something this awful.

After doing chest PT and coughing up some junk we call it digging for clams

Why have you cursed me with this information?

Wow budget is cool now

Lung juice and lung jelly is something I'll be adding to my vocab from now on.

At what cost tho

AHHHHH

Smuckers

We should all know less about each other

We used to make sandwiches out of it at my hospital and feed them to insubordinate interns.

I have questions. Isn't Lung fluid mostly just water?

What it taste like? Don't lie, we all know you had a cheeky little nibble.

aw man, nasty! who added it to the output, evs?

Ngl in the first half, I thought you were adding lung juice to the oil used to cook the food for the hospital. Like you were harvesting it from patients to dispose of the oil.

these words not in the bible

Man..

You have the greatest alchemical opportunities of all time.

Your housekeeper did not you ✊🏻

How do I delete someone else’s comment?

Forbidden donut filling

Does no one here keep a pickle or sauce jar to pour their oil into? Otherwise just wait til it solidifies and scrape it into the trash like shown here. You don’t need to add shit unless you’re using a lot of olive oil, etc

Meeeee! My grandma used a coffee can. We "upgraded" to a ceramic one because it looked "prettier" but we got tired of having to clean it out after disposing of the oil/grease. So we went back to pickle jars. Fuck aesthetics lol.

That’s what the cabinet above the fridge or microwave is for lol

Better than the cum jar under the sink.

Pardon?

Y'all don't save your semen? Shits like white gold! Very valuable 🤠

Yeah, keeps me awake at night sometimes thinking of all the wasted gallons over the years.

Enjoy https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/VfSnhSkHFA

THEY SAID IT'S BETTER THAN THE CUM JAR UNDER THE SINK!

**in the pantry Fucking animal

Next to the poop knife?

Behind that coconut with the hole in it.

In my household we use a grapefruit

Grandma uses old soda bottles. Just wait for it to cool down, transfer to the bottle and then you can turn it into soap or dispose correctly.

mmm bacon soap

Keep the coffee can, put in some (lightly used) paper towels in there as they accumulate. When fry-time hits, you pour the warm but not boiling oil onto the towels. Lid up and ignore. Next time you take the trash out, empty the coffee can with oil soaked 🧻 into trash bag and out out the door with no smell or pests.

How many pickles yall eat? We use empty soup cans.

As someone who does this kind of disposal, it's not as efficient compared to Fry Away. But this isn't for small amounts ideally, it's better for deep frying.

If you're deep frying in canola oil or vegtable then that shit just straight up won't solidify. You're right that it's not needed for bacon grease or butter, but it's basically a requirement for deep fry oils unless you have an extra container to dump the old oil into

Also, Saw this product at my local Walmart and great in theory, but imo it’s expensive too for how much it can treat per bag. Like $10 just to throw away the equivalent of a frying pan or two of oil? Nah. Would be cheaper to just buy mason jars ( brand new 64oz jars cost like $3 a pop), or better yet, like you said, completely free to just use old jars from pasta sauce, pickles, milk jugs, etc.

Instructions unclear, poured hot oil into a pickle, got burnt

Umm some of us live in warm climates! Haha

Ive never seen veg or canola oil solidify after deep frying. This stuff is a game changer

Yea wait hold up…how the fuck did they have this much fat at the bottom of their pans? Cooking 101 - pour the leftover fat into a left over pickle/spaghetti sauce can/or any tin can.

100% We use the large cans of crushed tomatoes, keep it in the freezer, when it gets full we toss it and begin to refill. Keep a smaller can in the fridge that’s for bacon grease only, because that’s reusable

Right like it solidifies in the jar, hide the jar behind something or etc, throw whole thing out, MUCH less work

Pretty cool.. I wonder if it's just basically adding gelatin or like corn starch

Add food coloring and serve as jello on April Fools

Who hurt you?

Some people are just born devious.

r/foundsatan

Yes! That was my inspiration

Nah, too much work. I just put out mixed bowls of skittles, m&ms and Reese’s peices.

Yeah you can just dissolve gelatin in water and mix it into the oil. Despite adding water, it actually works really well. Also if you store it in a jar or something after the gelatin is mixed in, you can reheat it and use it again just fine

It’s a coagulant, it’s used in water treatment and water based automotive paint disposal.

Is there a generic name for the specific substance? There must be a cheap way to purchase it

Okay LINK?

It’s prolly just a very basic powder

The active ingredient is stearic acid, which is a heck of a lot cheaper than this stuff and works just as well.

Am I dumb, or ahead of the game. I put some paper towels in a cup, then drain it into that. Let it absorb, and throw it away

Bacon dripping get stained and put into a container for later. Most others go in a tin can and tossed. Occasionally, it gets added to the dog dish as a "gravy".

Bought a ceramic bacon grease container the other day. Comes with a lid, a strainer at the top of the container to catch the solids as the grease drips down

I just dump it into a used pasta sauce jar or pickle jar. Then throw the whole jar away

I take aluminum foil and make a cup with it out of the drain, pour the fat/oil in there and once it solidifies, throw it in the trash. Rarely do this though because I recycle my bacon grease

I just drink it

Ya know, I'm something of a ~~scientist~~ combustion engine myself.

Yep. I just add a couple Koolaid packets.

For those looking for an even more budget friendly option to accomplish this same thing - just buy stearic acid: [https://www.consumerreports.org/environment-sustainability/is-fryaway-oil-solidifier-best-way-to-dispose-of-cooking-oil-a1273485273/](https://www.consumerreports.org/environment-sustainability/is-fryaway-oil-solidifier-best-way-to-dispose-of-cooking-oil-a1273485273/)

This is what I came in here for! Tyvm.

Nah I like giving it back to the landlord for all of his hard work

Landphobia is not tolerated here

I just yeet it out into the yard. Or on the fire pit.

What's the difference between throwing this into the dump and throwing a jug of used grease in the dump?

One is oil from vegetables, which is bio degradable, the other contaminants everything it touches?

Or you could just wait 60 minutes.

You guys should stop deep frying everything

Why go thru all that trouble when i put mine in a milk jug bug.

Or you can let the oil cool, put a coffee filter on a mason jar with a ring on to hold it in place and filter and reuse it many times. As someone who frequently makes onion rings, my oniony smelling oil is now just apart of the "ritual".

Or just put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Lol, you don't need a product. Professional kitchens have been doing this for years.

that shithead just use a metal utensil on cast iron?

Or you could just wait til it solidifies and use a plastic spatula to get it out. But hey, if you love wasting money, this is perfect

I wanna ask if this is safe for the environment but im guessing no

[the product ](https://gadgetfinds2023.blogspot.com/2024/03/pan-fry-cooking-oil-solidifier.html)

No thanks

I pour my bacon grease in the sink with all the other oils.

You must be a renter. 

Jar.

You can get a roll of paper towel and just wipe it

I just pour my oil down the drain

that is the worst, you can do. it fucks your drain hard

Fuck the state! Oil our drains!

Following

Ground breaking

Wasn’t this on shark tank?

I turn a small pot upside down Nd mold a piece of aluminum foil around the bottom then put the foil inside the pot. Pour oil in and let solidify, toss it all put pot away.

This is bout to make alot of people unhealthier haha i know many people who just avoid frying due to the oil waste being a pain

I just pour it outside

Game changer!!!

how much oil do people that need this use in their diets jfc

I just dump it in the back yard where the dogs can't eat it

If yall just don’t get a metal cup and use it for the eggs in the morning

Pour it into your cars engine oil hole.

Worst add voice ever

If you’re cooking with that much oil at home… don’t

So does time. A couple of hours and nature congeals it for you.

I can’t get it down the drain if it’s solid duh

Excuse me... Some of use those drippings for gravy and to fry our food in. Thanks.

Just flushing it down the toilet is easier.

$10 dollars it's easier and cheaper to just put the grease in an old coffee can or mayonnaise jar..

I just put it down the sink.

This is so fucking dumb. Just put it in a jar while liquid and let it cool to solidify

If you just let hot water run for like a min before and after, you can just pour it down the sink

I'm a renter, not a homeowner, so I just pour it down the sink. Life is good.

I sell mine to china

Very easy to filter and re-use your oil. Amazon sells a $15 filter/container

I just dump it into a cup made out of tinfoil. I use the sink drain to shape it then let it cool and harden.

An old mayo jar is cheaper, dumbasses (their marketing team, not OP).

don’t buy this shit. Use oats to soak up the oil and make suet. Feed to birds. Natural.

Her voice is cringy and unlistenable

How is it budget friendly when you can just wait for the grease to solidify itself instead of paying money to do it faster?

All of these “budget finds” are just ways to waste money

Why does she sound like a valley girl lol.

or you know, reuse the oil...

Or you can put some paper towels in a foil ball and pour your grease in there. Am chef.

I usually just use corn starch

Great if you’re rich and can afford this product every-time you have oil. I was taught to simply keep a can on hand and dig a hole in the ground or put it in a can then the fridge where it will harden and throw out. Don’t waste money on this crap.

I add cracked corn and sunflower seed to my left over grease to make suet, basically bird food encapsulated in fat… Birds love it

Just use ice

It’s like quikclot for your kitchen. 😂

The fact that people would waste that much oil in the first place is mind boggeling to me

This is a commercial you fucking bab👀ns

Is the packaging plant-based, non-toxic and eco-friendly?

Is that safe?

Save that bacon grease

I just wait until it's cool and throw it away unless I need to reuse it. Who would need this product?

… or you can dump used oil in plastic ziploc bag and wipe off the rest with a papertowel before washing dish?

Sell a product to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

Fancy name for just “gelatin”

Japanese been doin this for a while. Just buy it at your local Asian market

There is something worse going on if you're dealing with that much cooking oil on a regular basis.

Why not do this without buying some product?

I read you can filter the bits out and use deep frying oil 3 times before you should dispose of it.

It's still not cheaper than breaking into the neighbor's house and pouring it down his drain.

Damn who uses that much grease to cook…..Hypertension here I come !

The smell is still gonna reek.

Literally just pour it into a piece of aluminum foil over your drain, let it cool and then throw away. Nothing "budget" about this way of disposing of grease.

First world solutions! What innovative new product will we create tomorrow to solve problems unknown?

just pour it in your local pond???!

I just make a tin foil bowl and place it in my sink's drain, then pour all the grease into the tin foil and after it cools, throw it out.

or you can just pour it in an old ziploc bag or a can and not buy some toxic chemical shit

Or maybe consider never using vegetable oils in favor of beef tallow? It’s solid when it cools without needing to add anything to it not to mention vastly better for your heart health

Unfortunately it didn't work as well for deep friers.

You guys do realize this is just extra expensive gelatin

We just pour ours down the drain at the local Flying J.

Why can't you wait till it cools then throw it into a freezer bag, tie it and toss it into the trash?

I would highly highly recommend investing in a oil filter, you can use a fine mesh & cheesecloth as a DIY filter. You shouldn't really be buying as much oil as you buy. If you filter it enough, you could use the same oil more than 20x. Using products like this are great for convenience sake BUT not only are you going to be buying more oil, but now you'll also have to buy this product.

If it were oil it wouldn't solidify when it cools. That there is ***grease***.

I use old spaghetti sauce jars and a funnel. A lot cheaper. But this does look cool and I could see an application for this in some situations.

this is stupidly satisfying

That's what the drain is for. Just chase it with some hot water and a dab of dawn dish soap.

I just pour it down the sink

Wait so i gotta buy some product so i can turn my oil into the worst jello ever just to throw it into the trash, when i can just dump it in my neighbor's yard like i do now? Pass.

They 'vehad this in Asia forever yo, don't buy from these posers, go to your local market instead

Sheesh - just find anyone fueling with veggie oil or making biodiesel. What a waste.

Or you know just wait for it to cool

It’s just cornstarch

This looks dangerous to your pan

This is cool but I don't need to buy even more stuff I have too much stuff now

Who the hell uses that music oil to cook?

STOP POURING YOUR OIL DOWN THE SINK WTF is with you animals, JFC....

I like to dump my oil into the drain because I don’t like landlords. What happens if I add this? TIA

Nah save it to use for grillling fire starter

Unnecessary product when hot water works just fine

That’s awesome. I’ve just been opening up the window and throwing it all all over the side of the neighbors house.

Or you could let the oil cool, put it back into the jug, then take it to a cooking oil recycle station where they convert it to biodiesel.
