Don't know what kind of oil you mean. I do sometimes use paper towels to wipe out excess cooking oil after frying/sautéing. However, I will sometimes tear pieces of newspaper to fit flat in the pan and set it aside to let the oil get soaked up. Whether I use paper towels or newspaper, I can then add it to the compost pile rather than put it in the trash.
