   Deep fat fryer is caked in sodium stearate, which should tell you terrifying things about how I clean it and deal with the problem of disposing of used cooking oil.

     @goatsarah Here there are cooking oil collection things in the streets by the bottle banks and used textiles containers.

     @pseudomonas Sodium stearate is water soluble, non toxic, and fun for all the family to make!

     @goatsarah sure, but recycling lets them turn it into biofuel or whatever, and it means I can keep my bucket of NaOH for degunging the sink.

     @pseudomonas Portugal, having been blessed without a domestic terrorism problem, has DIY barns in which NaOH is at the milder end of what you can just plop into the self checkout. I call that section, “the bomb making aisle”. It’s quite fun.

     Anyway, upshot is, I’ve got bloody kilos and kilos of the stuff.
