1 lb Stearic Acid White Flakes Food Grade NF/USP - Natural preservative thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer for food soap lotion cream

I had an Asian product that had these little packets of white beads/shards they advertised to solidify cooking oils and worked great but were a tad bit expensive for the amount given.I did a bit of research into what the main ingredients could be and found one that at least had the same properties "Stearic Acid" a quick Amazon search later and I found this listing for the raw material itself. I read a few comments of people happy with the product so I gave it a chance thinking I had nothing to lose. I used about the same pellet to oil ratio (granted by eye) and this stuff made a chunk that seemed to be even harder and more solidified making it easier to move as a brick then a soft piece of gel

I don't fry often but when I do, getting rid of the oil is the part I hate the most; tbh, it sits on my stove for a few days while I try to find a way to get rid of it. This stuff is a GAME CHANGER. I use 1/4 cup and sprinkle it in my hot oil. Idk how long it takes to solidify (I leave it on the stovetop overnight) but in the morning, it's solid and I dump it in the trash.I was going to buy a different product that was way more expensive and after reading the comments, people all said to buy stearic acid in bulk. I'm glad I did! This is a must have in my kitchen now.

Good additive. I used for candle wax. Good quality

Works great for my hair cosmetic business @oumalkh-hair cosmetics will def buy more

I recently read an article about this product. It said it's handy to have around to harden used oil when cooking and you want to dispose of it. That's why I ordered it. I don't use a lot of cooking oil but when I do and want to dispose of it, that's always an issue as to how and where. I've used it a few times for just that and am extremely pleased with the product. It is expensive enough though that you wouldn't want to use it for a large amount of oil.
