1 lb Stearic Acid White Flakes Food Grade NF/USP - Natural Preservative, thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer for Food, soap, Lotion, Cream

I was looking for a better way to dispose of used cooking oil from my deep fryer. I had about 1.4L of oil. I warmed it to about 250 degrees and added about 160 grams of stearic acid. I stirred it around until it was fully dissolved. I then let it cool overnight. It changed the liquid canola oil into a slush that I could put into a paper bag and then dispose of in my organic waste bin.

I did some research after purchasing a package of Fry Away and found out that it is a fancy name for a chemical (Stearic Acid). So I found out that Amazon sells this stuff at a much discounted price. It works pretty good (especially if you have a large amount of oil you want to emulsify before throwing out).I've always hated pouring oil into a can or bag for disposal (never down the sink) and this is a convenient and clean alternative.Unfortunately the shipping company was less than careful with my shipment and split the bag open during transit. Nothing on the company that I purchased this from, but the shipper should be a little more careful.

I don't fry often but when I do, getting rid of the oil is the part I hate the most; tbh, it sits on my stove for a few days while I try to find a way to get rid of it. This stuff is a GAME CHANGER. I use 1/4 cup and sprinkle it in my hot oil. Idk how long it takes to solidify (I leave it on the stovetop overnight) but in the morning, it's solid and I dump it in the trash.I was going to buy a different product that was way more expensive and after reading the comments, people all said to buy stearic acid in bulk. I'm glad I did! This is a must have in my kitchen now.

Good additive. I used for candle wax. Good quality

This is my second time ordering from this company. The item is very much worth its price.

I had been looking at products that solidify used cooking oil to make it less messy when throwing it away. There are several products on the market for this, but the consumer reports article I read mentioned that stearic acid was a lower priced alternative that does the same thing as the more expensive brand name products.I don’t do a lot of oil frying, but when I do, this acid has worked well to make disposal less messy.

Funciona muy bien para mis proyectos

I use it to solidify oil after frying. It works perfectly to solidify canola and olive oil to dispose of in trash.
