Don't Throw out bad oil ~ Uses for Rancid Oil ~ Preparedness

[@jmo2104]

"There's food in your lawn". I will love you forever for saying that! Respect respect respect!! I'm an old lady and it's so nice to hear that people remember this stuff. You have a great and positive influence on people and so it's wonderful that you teach this. Following you the past couple of years it's been a real treat. I find kindred spirits on your page.

[@barbarasunday3514]

Oh I agree! I started foraging and herbology during Covid, and I will never allow chemicals on my yard

[@kelcyjones6513]

I tell people for years that there's food in your lawn. And, ahhh, I just saw Roundup rebates in the Ibotta app!!!🤮 My husband slowly gave into my insisting he not even use commercial fertilizer on the yard decades ago because I told him we might have to eat the weeds. Pet owners should know to triple wash then boil all weeds 10minutes to eliminate anything a pet vacated...🤪 And everyone should learn about edible landscaping plants! There's loads of aesthetically-pleasing plants in yards that have edible parts. A few leaves from here/there fill a pot. Boil 10 minutes!

[@RoseFelton]

This was my first time watching one of her videos and my ears really perked up when she said "There's food in your lawn". I'm glad to see more people are teaching this. I hate seeing people killing their "weeds" when they could be eating them.

[@sundrop3911]

Use on birdfeeder poles to help deter squirrels from climbing to access your feeders. Also wipe on snow shovels so snow doesn't stick to shovel .

[@RoseFelton]

Yeah, I have done the snow shovel idea. Works very well!

[@joycedagostino8869]

Had an unusual use for old oil. I had a stack of bricks in my garden, the type that have holes in them, and noticed the other day that there were hornets entering the holes. I carefully checked and sure enough there were several adults and they were building a nest. I had some old canola oil so I carefully approached the bricks and was able to keep a distance and pour the oil into the holes. It worked great, killed not only the hornets but also dissolved the nest. I was surprised that it worked but glad it did!

[@tonygotts199]

Oil that goes bad can be used for many things such as staring a BBQ with charcoal., oil lamps , bar oil for your chain (Vegetable ), bicycle chain and gears, garden tools for lubrication or storage. For your whetstone sharpening your knifes., bolts and nuts.

[@eloiseporterfield3876]

By placing a drop or two of Rosemary plant therapy organic rosemary essential oil will preserve your oil from becoming rancid once it’s opened. I’ve been using this for years and it absolutely works.

[@taffyr2242]

That is really neat to know🤔!

[@keithballard4621]

I’d love to delve into this subject more with you! I began studying ways to enhance long term food preservation when I came across an article that described the process used by native Americans in making pemmican.They added slippery elm bark to the rendered fat which was later added to the dried meat. Pemmican has been found by archaeologists and determined to be hundreds of years old. Slippery elm bark was added to patented pharmaceutical ointments as a preservative a century ago. Anyhoo.. slippery elm has become scarce and expensive due to its popularity and also tree diseases. With that in mind, I went on to explore other botanicals with similar oil preservative properties but only found two and they were not indigenous or easily sourced. I know that Rosemary is used in some alternative cancer therapies and it is a strong anti- oxidant. Your comment re-awakened my quest. Preserved oils and rancid oils are the subjects of exponentially expanding implications; food costs, packaging, health,and more.Thanks and on with the study!

Rancid oils (and used motor oil) can be used as bar oil for your chainsaw. Also, if you re-render rancid oils and fats you can use them to make soap. Just make sure you do your rendering outside. It will stink up your house.

[@Kandyman54]

I was going to ask if it could be used for soap. Thanks!

[@2degucitas]

By "rendering" do you mean cooking the oil in water, then pouring off the oil? Butyric acid is the culprit of rancidity. Would it leach off into the water?

It was once used for axle grease. I think I will try it on my snowblower to keep it from clogging up. They sell expensive silicon spray for that, and wd40 works, but maybe some hot crud I and a paintbrush would do the trick. Thanks for the reminder.

You can also make saddle soap with it. Grated soap, oil, and some kind of liquid. Turpentine or similar is best. Water works, but the result goes bad easily.

A bit off topic but I had to chuckle when you mentioned liking weeds in your lawn. I live in a very wooded area where grass is almost impossible to grow due to the heavy shade most places so our "lawn" is a mixture of moss, low ground cover, and about anything else. My husband was horrified one time when asked about weed killer on our lawn. He explained that as long as it was green, it was welcome to grow!

[@Unusualnatureshorts]

using on hinges is excellent actually. does not come off in the rain because oil and water dont mix, the sun or heat will possible drip the extra off but it does the job of lubricating quieting anyhow, as for rust it actually repels the water so protecting it, not causing it. used it for hinges for years, and will continue to do so.

Lubrication of bicycle chains. Pour in sand to coat your tools.

I'm being "eco-conscious" and thrifty regarding lawn mowing. I set the blade high. I let more than a week or two go by before mowing again. If the plantain, dandelions, clover, and sweet violet are good sized, I harvest them for dehydrating. This week I also found self-heal (prunella) growing in the grass, so I pulled some up to re-plant in a space all of its own where it won't get mowed. This also allows the shorter grass to reseed itself.

[@nicidevine6670]

Use your Crisco to make a candle out of it yourself ( just put in it dinner candles 4 of them and then you can get some light and a little bit of heat ) !!!

I know that you can make lye soap with oils, liquid and solid. I wonder if rancid oils would cause a problem or even leave a bad smell? If things really get bad, as in no government at all. One way to get lye is to let water to drip over wood ashes. This will give you your lye water mixture.
