P.S.

-- I may try the filter idea. Again, not cheap, more environmentally
and economically interested. I don't need to prove my wealth by
excessive waste.
-- Disposal was in the back of my mind. I don't have any yard at
all. Other oil or congealed grease I have cooled and put in
degradable containers otherwise set for the garbage. (I used to live
in the country, now a city highrise.) I have dumped cooking oil down
the toilet, never the sink drain!

-- I may be daring and try some breaded cheese cubes. I might regret
that experiment. Or coat dried bread cubes with melted cheese, then
spiced bread or flour coating..... uhm., maybe not.
