Hot oil storage

Any suggestions on what I can drain my hot oil in? I have one insulated oil container, but need two more and I don't want to spend $100 on each one. Help me please!

Thank you,
Dianna

Contact a rendering company. They should not only provide a recepticle but pay you to haul it away.

If the question is only about how to capture the draining oil, you do not need a special container. You can drain the oil into large metal buckets.

Or find someone local who's making biodiesel and let them set you up with containers.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll see what I can find in these neck of the woods!

Are you just looking to drain your oil or store it for disposal?
We always just drained it into stock pots. Look around and you can find one cheap. It doesnt need to be heavy duty unless you use it for cooking.

in a pinch, i have used full size aluminum pans. just be very careful and let them set for a while. now. there shouldnt be a reason to drain hot oil in the first place. unless, you have a lunch shift where you get smacked beyond belief, and you have to get fryer ready for dinner. otherwise, just let them set until morning then dump./
peace out

Its much more grease efficient to drain the grease when the day is done(some places even drain between shifts-it depends what you fry and how much "debri" it leaves behind). If you leave the grease over nite all the food debri "steeps" all nite and breaks the oild doen as well as flavoring it/Believe it or not the frtolator powder really cleans the grease.

use soda kegs. They work great. I drain mine hot all the time

Where are you located?

Go to the Goodwill etc. and get some big pressure cookers. They will have a seal on them that will keep your hot oil contained. I have used these on my mobile rig with great success.
