I would never speak ill of bacon, but it does have one glaring flaw. Finish frying that beautiful pork belly and you're left with a whole lot of gnarly, hot oil to dispose of. I've grown accustomed to pouring it out in an empty aluminum can or coffee tin, but a few consumer kitchen innovators think they've invented a better way.

FryAway and Hard Oil are organic cooking oil hardeners that you can buy online. The white flakes are derived from plant-based fats and are engineered to transform hot oil from liquid to solid. Once set, you can scoop the solidified oil out of the frying pan or Dutch oven and into the garbage pail with ease.

The reviews for FryAway were great on Amazon and the images of lasagna-sized blobs of oil being flopped into the garbage were both satisfying and enticing. Plus, this would be an excuse to cook an inordinate amount of bacon on a random Thursday morning. I was definitely going to try this stuff.

While I didn't find it to be a complete waste of money, FryAway is definitely more useful for some specific grease- and oil-disposal jobs than it is for others.

FryAway doses come premeasured in separate packages within the bag. Each is about half an ounce and should work on up to 2 cups of oil. There is one designed for pan-frying and another for deep-frying. A package of FryAway for pan-frying with enough for four uses costs $9 on Amazon. A bag of Hard Oil with twice the amount of solidifying substance is $20 (currently sold out). Hard Oil comes loose with a half-ounce scoop to measure it yourself.

To test FryAway and Hard Oil I cooked a pound of bacon, much to the delight of my terrier Freddie. I used some vegetable oil to make sure there was plenty of liquid in the pans after. I ran the test using both FryAway and Hard Oil in three different pans -- nonstick enamel, cast iron and stainless steel -- to see how well they worked with various cooking surfaces.

As directed, I mixed the prescribed dose of flakes in with the hot oil once the food had been removed and let it sit for about an hour (or longer if you're solidifying an especially large quantity of oil.) Both products are simple and straightforward to use.

Note, you must physically mix the substance and mix it well. It won't dissolve on its own and getting it incorporated proves vital. For one of the tests, I let the oil cool for too long and the flakes did not dissolve. That pan's oil didn't harden at all so I had to reheat it to melt the flakes.

After about 20 minutes, I could visibly see the oil start to congeal and change from clear to cloudy white. Another 10 minutes and the oil in both pans appeared to be completely solid but still seemed adhered around the sides. I opted to give it the full hour to set per the directions.

A full hour into the cooling and it was time to scoop. Just from the look of it, I could tell it wasn't going to emerge from the pan in one satisfying pan-shaped blob the way it appears to on the website. My fears were confirmed when I dug a thin rubber spatula into the side of the white mass. It was sort of like scooping wax, and it eventually had to be scraped out in sections.

The results were about the same for each cooking surface, although fat in the nonstick enamel pan came away the easiest, followed closely by the cast iron. Stainless steel took the most scraping, but not by much. There was also no discernible difference between the oil hardened with FryAway versus Hard Oil.

Bacon is the no. 1 offender in my home when it comes to leftover oil. Unfortunately, neither FryAway or Hard Oil made discarding it any easier. I'll be sticking to my system of pouring the grease into an old coffee can and letting it congeal on the counter or in the fridge.

While a half-inch of residual bacon grease will congeal on its own, that's not necessarily the case with large quantities of frying oil. If you regularly deep fry chicken or other things in your Dutch oven or home deep fryer, you've probably got a whole lot more than a half-inch to deal with. In those instances, FryAway or Hard Oil makes sense. You won't want to pour that much grease in liquid form into the garbage and freezing it to discard (another option for safe disposal of oil) is a fraught and messy affair.

For all you deep fryers without a great system for discarding the oil afterward, I'd suggest stocking a package of FryAway for your next session.

For the casual pan-fryers and weekend bacon makers, save your $9 for a package of Oscar Mayer. It's getting very expensive.

Military bunkers in the UK are being upgraded so they can be used to store US nuclear weapons again after 14 years of standing empty, according to US defence budget documents.

In the Biden administration’s 2023 defence budget request, the UK was added to the list of countries where infrastructure investment is under way at “special weapons” storage sites, alongside Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey – all countries where the US stores an estimated 100 B61 nuclear bombs.

Hans Kristensen, the director of the nuclear information project at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), who first reported on the budget item, said he believed the British site being upgraded is the US airbase at RAF Lakenheath, 100 km north-east of London.

The US withdrew its B61 munitions from Lakenheath in 2008, marking the end of more than half a century of maintaining a US nuclear stockpile in the UK. At the time of the withdrawal, the gravity bombs were widely seen as militarily obsolete and hopes were higher for further disarmament by the nuclear weapons powers.

That optimism has since been dashed, against the backdrop of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, his regime’s nuclear threats against Nato, and extensive nuclear weapon modernisation programmes pursued by both the US and Russia. As part of the US plan, the B61 has been given a new lease of life with a guidance system, the B61-12 variant, due to go into full production in May.

The 2023 budget request says that Nato “is wrapping up a 13-year, $384m infrastructure investment program at storage sites in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and Turkey to upgrade security measures, communication systems, and facilities”.

In the 1990s, RAF Lakenheath had 33 underground storage vaults, where 110 B61 bombs were stored, according to the FAS. Since their withdrawal the vaults have been mothballed. Kristensen said he believes the vaults are now being upgraded so the new B61-12 bombs can be stored there, if needed.

The Biden administration has been careful not to make any moves that might be seen as escalatory in the nuclear arena in response to Putin’s announcement he would put Russia’s nuclear forces on higher alert a few days after his invasion of Ukraine. The US has cancelled scheduled tests of its intercontinental ballistic missiles, for example.

For the same reason, Kristensen said he doubted the Biden administration is planning to increase the US nuclear stockpile in Europe. When the new B61-12 bombs are delivered, expected next year, they will replace older models already there. Instead, he thought the Lakenheath upgrade is intended to provided more flexibility to move the nuclear weapons around Europe.

“One of the things they have talked about is protecting the deterrent against Russia’s improved cruise missiles capabilities,” Kristensen said. “So they could be trying to beef up the readiness of more sites without them necessarily receiving nukes, so that they have the options to move things around in a contingency if they need to.”

Britain has become keen to take a more assertive role when it comes to its own nuclear deterrent, and last year announced it would increase its own stockpile of Trident nuclear warheads by 40% to 260, the first such increase since the end of the cold war. Whitehall sources say the UK has “a clearer appreciation” of its role as a nuclear weapons state in a renewed era of state competition with Russia and China.

The UK Ministry of Defence did not comment on the upgrade mentioned in the US budget. One British official said: “We won’t provide anything on this as it relates to the storage of nuclear weapons.” But the news comes just four months after the arrival in Lakenheath of the first of a new generation of nuclear-capable US combat aircraft, the F-35A Lightning II, the first such deployment in Europe.

Daryl Kimball, the executive director of the Arms Control Association, said the upgrade of the UK storage facilities is “an early sign that the US and Nato are preparing to engage in a protracted and maybe heightened standoff with Putin’s Russia”.

“The administration should provide some clarity about the military necessity and goals of possibly bringing nuclear weapons back to the UK,” Kimball added.

The developments in Europe are part of a broader retreat from arms control. The Biden administration’s nuclear posture review, which has been sent to Congress but not yet declassified, is reported not to contain the changes the president pledged during his campaign.
