I store cooled fryer oil in gal milk jugs. Milk jug opening is too small for funnel. What are others using for containers?

A 1.25gal vegetable (or other) oil jug works perfect - the funnel fits nicely in the mouth.

The Kuchenpro 18/10 Stainless Steel Funnel with Filter fits into an Ocean Spray 3 liter Cranberry Juice container and has an added white handle, to boot for easy handling. For reusable oil, a paper towel inside the funnel and held in place by the filter is a good idea. For other cooking oil like for fish seared over a gas grill grate in a cast iron skillet, I use a separate O.S. 3 liter bottle.

I am using glass mason jars - the funnel fits quite well no matter what the size.

This funnels inside diameter is just short of 1 and 1/2 inches, or about 37 CM. I don't know the dimensions of the intended milk jug your using but i mainly use this for refilling the FIFO condiment bottles. I like the surface of the funnel, it's very smooth, therefore the material I am transferring goes into the bottles well.

Wait for the oil to cool and scoop it out ..we use an old Tupperware container .. messy job and one downside of this

I don't know the size of the opening on your bottle but the funnels are the following sizes large to small 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4". If any or all of these will fit into your container than I suppose they would do the job. I use them to refill my salt and pepper shakers which have small openings. The middle size seems to work best for that.

Small oil containers are often sealed frrom the manufacturer. It sounds like that is your situation. If so, you can snip the plastic tip with a pair of scissors or insert a straight pin to open the entrance. I prefer the pin method too insure the diameter of the hole isn't too large. Happy music making...

remove fryer lid,then remove fryer basket (if you use it). insert a funnel into the Qt? container the oil originally came from.allow fryer and oil to cool then tilt fryer diagonally so the pouring channel in one corner of the fryer is over the funnel and empty the fryer into the container. any solids left in the fryer can be dumped into the garbage.irs easy but sometimes messy.

I use separate container for storing - about 5Gal will do (I use Staniles Steal milk can :))

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.

I used it for hotdogs and chicken breasts- the upside of using this is that your grease gets funnel out.

It is difficult to open, so I often fill it through one of the pouring spouts on the top, a funnel will fit in that space. But I do like that it has never leaked.

I tried the "spill-proof" spout once. Unless you need to waste some gas or maybe cover your hand with gas, I would recommend removing the spout and using a funnel when pouring the gas. Personnally, I have emptied the top portion of the container into a smaller container which I then use to fill whatever needs filling. Basically, the can is used for storage until it is empty enough to pour directly from. This is yet another example of government intervention "improving" our daily lives.

The opening is a 12" by 7.5" so I think a gallon milk jug would fit easily although I haven't tried it.

Yes! My neighbor freezes breast milk in these jars. Just don't overfill because room for expansion is needed.If properly filled, the contents should never touch the lid but some people still prefer to use the BPA free Tattler lids :}

The opening is very small-- that's to allow the contents (oil, vinegar, whatever) to be "drizzled" on food in a very fine stream instead of pouring out as from a bottle container. There is a little top that covers the opening but it does not fit on tightly so it is definitely not an air tight seal. Thus, if the bottle were to tip over, some of the contents would probably spill out, albeit slowly. As far as the oil being exposed to the air, I would say not much. The very small opening and the little lid seem to be sufficient to protect the oil. I have been using two of these cruets for oils for about a year, and have not have had oil become rancid. These are not overly large containers and the contents get used up fairly fast, so the oil does not sit in them for a long time. I find these little containers very efficient; they are ideal for drizzling a fine stream of oil on food, and they look nice enough to keep them on the countertop, or dining table. Plus, I have a third one which is used for coffee creamer. One caveat: the lid is very small so care must be taken when washing the container and lid; it would be very easy to lose that little thing down the drain or accidentally toss it out with the garbage.

There is no inside container. You have to dump the oil from the entire container into something to strain or get rid of. There is a metal basket that you put the food into. We really like it since it is so small and you don't need to use much oil and can do small amounts of food!

I have poured without the funnel, but the cover is spring loaded and it is difficult but doable. I didn't buy these for that reason, I bought these for the safety factor. They are heavy duty metal so they don't get "swollen" and the lid is spring loaded so before you pour, you can release the pressure build up from fumes. These are excellent for fule storage. The Plastic containers get misshaped where these do not.

Here's an answer that I posted to a similar question:I've used a 2-qt Ball canning jar, which is too tall, but if you cover the Ball jar with a lid, then put a plastic baggie over the whole thing, it works! Alternatively, I've used a barrel-type pickle jar, which fits but only makes 46 oz. at a time. I actually brought the base of the machine with me to the grocery store, to find a pickle jar that would definitely fit.

the container itself would likely hold cooled oil (not hot grease), but the lid is not airtight, especially with the pour spout. The lid is tight enough that liquids do not seep from the rim, only from the spout. Hope this helps you to judge for your purposes!
