A cooking fluid container and storage system for containing and storing a cooking fluid drained from a deep fryer cooker includes a container assembly supported for translation by a cart. The container assembly includes a rigid, paper board outer container and a plastic bag inner container. The outer container receives a lid to close the outer container. The container assembly supported by the cart is configured to be selectively positionable beneath a drain spout of the deep fryer cooker. A cooking fluid, such as cooking oil, residing in the deep fryer cooker may be selectively drained into the plastic bag supported by the outer container. The plastic bag is then sealed, the lid is installed, and then the container assembly is moved away from the deep fryer cooker and deposited in a storage area. The method of the present invention includes the steps of positioning the container assembly adjacent a deep fryer cooker, causing a cooking fluid within the deep fryer cooker to be introduced into the inner container supported by the outer container, sealing the inner container to prevent spillage of the cooking fluid, and moving the container assembly to a storage area. The method further includes the step of supporting the container assembly on a cart that is adapted for translation across a support surface.
