We have oil reclamation sites that accept all oils, vehicular to cooking.

So not all that trivial since you need to put the oil in some sort of disposal container, hope it doesn't spill so you don't have to clean that up, then drive it to an oil reclamation site.

Think I'd rather make bread.

It's also, (what a surprise), not at all related to the original statement which was about making the frozen fries. However you cook the fries (deep fryer, air fried, baked) is not part of the discussion on store bought vs. homemade

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well then how you bake the bread is also not part of the discussion and there are all kinds of mess-free ways to use a bread machine. Don't spill anything and put the stuff in the dishwasher. The end. How do I know? I've literally done it dozens of times.

You're deluding yourself. Sorry at this point you're sealioning so have a good day.

I'm deluding myself because bread machines are simple and trouble-free? Ok.
