    thanks. I still think ST would be better off just letting people put fat into the system around here .....it might help plug a few leaks:rotfl:

  • just ordered mine,thank you!
    ;)
  • Maybe I'm just being dense, but is this just a thing you put the fat from your frying pan or whatever into? And if it is just something that you do that with, what's wrong with a dish from the cupboard?

    Am I missing something here?

    There's nothing wrong with a dish from the cupboard; up until now I've used a sandwich bag which I place inside a jug, then pour in cooled oil/fat and tie up before putting in the bin.

    The website for the fat trap says this:

    Received my fat trap this morning. The design is a pop-up cardboard box with a plastic film type lining - once full it has to be thrown away.

    It will do the job in sealing away fat - but I wouldn't purchase any more, as it isn't very money saving - my plastic bag idea is far more budget friendly!

    Nice freebie though - thanks for posting :T

    I agree with you skintandsafe, I laughed when I opened mine and saw what i actualy was. On the instructions of how to use and dispose it does say when you have thrown it away you can use a marg tub or a tin lol. After the wait I had for mine I think I'll carry on as before and use a plastic bag or marg tub.
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
