The Absorb Bin biodegradable kitchen fat trapper (Lakeland, £8.99) is a lidded tray housing a biodegradable bed of moulded wood pulp. If you pour cooking fat down the sink or toilet, your house will have a heart attack. Fat trappers are made out of “super absorbent material” that looks a lot like recycled packing cardboard, arranged like crazy paving. When the Absorb Bin is done absorbin’, you throw out the pad and replace it; sort of like changing the kitchen’s nappy. More crucially, Absorb Bin doesn’t really help with my deep-frying problem – it was overwhelmed in seconds.
