FAQ
WHAT IS FRYAWAY?
FryAway is a 100% plant-based product that transforms used cooking oil from liquid to solid in 3 easy steps. Just sprinkle and stir into hot oil, let it cool down, and toss away the hardened oil with household organic waste or garbage, making cleanup easier, better for your plumbing and nicer to the planet!
HOW DO I USE FRYAWAY?
Safety first! Turn off the heat source and remove the food from the oil. Now you're ready to use FryAway.
1) Sprinkle FryAway into HOT oil and stir to dissolve completely.
2) Allow the oil to cool down and harden.
3) Scoop and toss the hardened oil in the trash, with organic waste, or compost.
Remember: Once you use FryAway, you cannot reuse the oil for cooking. However, there are other uses!
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO USE FRYAWAY?
If you have leftover cooking oil and can answer YES to the following three statements, you are ready for FryAway:
1) Turned off the heat on the stove/deep fryer
2) Removed food from the oil
3) Will not be reusing the oil to cook food
MY FRYAWAY POWDER DID NOT DISSOLVE AND IS FLOATING IN THE OIL. NOW WHAT?
FryAway does not ABSORB oil, it SOLIDIFIES oil and needs heat to activate. Reheat the oil until the flakes are fully dissolved, give it a quick stir and let the oil cool down.
THE OIL GOT TOO HARD AND I CAN'T REMOVE IT FROM MY PAN
Don't panic! While rare, this can happen when too much FryAway is used for the amount of oil. FryAway is made of natural oils and is non toxic. Simply heat up the pan to loosen the oil and safely remove it without damaging your pan. Please do not scrape hardened oil without following these instructions.
DOES FRYAWAY WORK ON BACON AND ANIMAL FATS?
FryAway is a great way to clean up bacon fat and other animal fats but for animal fats/grease start with ½ recommended amount of FryAway. A little goes a long way! Remember to stir FryAway powder in while the oil is still HOT.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
With FryAway, cooking oil will harden once it cools to a temperature of 100 degrees F / 38 degrees Celsius. How quickly the oil solidifies depends on the amount of oil and ambient temperature. Larger amounts of hot oil will naturally take longer, up to several hours, to solidify, whereas small amounts of oil can be ready to toss within 20 minutes.
CAN I MAKE THE OIL SOLIDIFY FASTER?
Once FryAway has been mixed into the oil, the faster it reaches room temperature, the faster it will solidify. For instance, placing the pan of oil near a window on a cool day, will speed up the process.
I USED FRYAWAY AND MY OIL IS NOT HARDENING. WHAT DO I DO?
If the oil is not hardening, there may be too much oil for the amount of FryAway added in. Reheat the oil to at least 170 degrees F and add more FryAway powder to set. Measurements are as follows:
1 scoop of FryAway Super Fry = 1 cup of oil.
IS FRYAWAY COMPOSTABLE?
FryAway is compostable, but the amount of solidified oil will determine the best way to compost. Small amounts of oil can be composted at home, whereas most compost facilities will accept larger amounts of oil solidified with FryAway. Please contact your local facility to confirm.
HOW IS FRYAWAY BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?
Used cooking oil is usually discarded in a container or poured down the drain.
A plastic container can take over 450 years to decompose in a landfill. FryAway eliminates the need to throw away oil in a container that could have otherwise been recycled and the solidified oil can also be composted so it doesn't end up in a landfill at all!
When oil gets poured down the drain, even when chased with hot water and dish soap, it eventually clogs pipes, sewers and creates overflows that contaminate our water resources.
Oil solidified with FryAway makes cleanup a breeze and can be tossed away with organic waste or composted. No more messy spills, containers or clogged pipes!
CAN THE SOLIDIFIED OIL BE REPURPOSED?
Yes! Oil solidified with FryAway can be repurposed any way you like… refined for biodiesel, candles, firestarter, soap. Just to name a few.
WHERE SHOULD I STORE FRYAWAY?
It is recommended to store FryAway in a cool, dark area away from heat and moisture.
