Deep frying produces large amounts of waste oil, which must be properly disposed. Waste oil is increasingly being recycled into biodiesel. Some deep fry shortenings used to contain trans fat. Cooking oil is flammable, and fires may be caused by it igniting at too high a temperature. Attempts to extinguish an oil fire with water cause the water to flash into steam due to the high heat of the oil, in turn sending the burning oil in all directions and thus aggravating the fire. Instead, oil fires must be extinguished by smothering, for example by putting a lid over the fire. Other means of extinguishing an oil fire include dry powder (e.g., baking soda) or fire fighting foam. Most commercial deep fryers are equipped with automatic fire suppression systems using foam.
