Stearic Acid White Flakes 1 lb – Food Grade NF/USP – Natural Emulsifier, Thickener & Stabilizer for Soap Making, Lotions, Creams, Shaving Soap, and Natural Soap

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 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 can't believe people pay so much money for the tiny little packets of oil solidifyer when this is the primary ingredient & way less expensive. I added about ¼-½ cup to a 3 quart Dutch oven full of frying oil & it was the consistency of drying Play-Doh it just crumbled right out of the pan & made it way easier to transport to the oil recycling center (despite the ads you still need to bring solidified oil to a recycling center, just because it's hard and avoiding pipes doesn't mean you should just throw it in the trash it cannot go into the ground water)

Ácido esteárico me sirve mucho porque es con eso me ayuda para espesar mis jabones que hago líquidos se lo pongo a mis jabones sólidos también lo uso también para algunas cremas que me hago porque me gusta el espesor que tiene es para muchos osos es muy bueno la verdad le doy cuatro estrellas lo volveré a comprar porque me sirve de mucho

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.

I recently read an article about this product. It said it's handy to have around to harden used oil when cooking and you want to dispose of it. That's why I ordered it. I don't use a lot of cooking oil but when I do and want to dispose of it, that's always an issue as to how and where. I've used it a few times for just that and am extremely pleased with the product. It is expensive enough though that you wouldn't want to use it for a large amount of oil.

Exelente producto me encanta lo uso siempre en mis jabones

I had an Asian product that had these little packets of white beads/shards they advertised to solidify cooking oils and worked great but were a tad bit expensive for the amount given. I did a bit of research into what the main ingredients could be and found one that at least had the same properties "Stearic Acid" a quick Amazon search later and I found this listing for the raw material itself. I read a few comments of people happy with the product so I gave it a chance thinking I had nothing to lose. I used about the same pellet to oil ratio (granted by eye) and this stuff made a chunk that seemed to be even harder and more solidified making it easier to move as a brick then a soft piece of gel
