Interesting statement. I don’t care that you don’t eat meat, but you sound insufferable and holier than thou. Anything cooked in oil or butter will cause grease, even healthy oils. Are you also too good to cook with oil, too?[/quote]

NP here. This reaction is funny to me.

I use oil to sauté food all the time, but never have to deal with draining grease in the sink as I use only the amount that I need. Honestly, what you describe sounds very very gross. This is not an aversion to oil/fat. I use butter in baking, I use oil to sauté garlic and onions and spices to flavor various dishes, I don’t deep fry anything though. The idea of having a pot full of grease from regular cooking sounds gag-worthy.

It’s really funny how offended you are that other people simply don’t have to deal with this. Cooking meat sounds very unpleasant.

NP - I had this same reaction. Deep frying at home is not something I have ever done!  I’m otherwise not sure what would use so much excess oil. I sauté veggies in a tablespoon or so, but that gets consumed as part of the dish. [/quote]

This comes up for me in several settings:

cooking bacon (once cooled we use paper towels to wipe up the grease and toss in trash)
making donuts or wings (each is a 1-2 times a year thing, and it is a pain but once the oil is cooled we put in a large tupperware and take to county recycling site)
making the occasional brisket or roast in the oven (we usually make it a day in advance, and refrigerate and then skim off the solidified fats and toss in trash)[/quote]
