Shark Tank Approved And Clog-Free Guaranteed! This Fryaway Cooking Oil Solidifier Makes Cleaning Up After Frying A Breeze

Review: "Wow, did this ever work great! It's so exciting to get a product that actually does what it promises. Getting rid of used oil is always such a pain. This made it so easy. I just reheated my oil, poured this stuff in, forgot about it for a while, came back and it popped right out of the pan. I"m glad I bought 2 packages. Now I have a good supply." - SakeSan

    You actually can hear that sound. At least we do. It is not the best for lighting incense, but it is very fun to play with.

Usually I'll take a motion sickness pill but I'm pregnant now so I'm trying not to take meds these days. These little bands are amazing~~~" - Aileen
