Where do I pour bacon grease if I don't have a glass jar available?!
I know bacon grease shouldn't be poured down the drain!. So if I have nowhere else to pour it, what do I do!? Is it ok to leave the grease to get hard in the pan and then clean it later!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I use a bowl and put a few paper towels down then when it go to clean it , I can just use the paper towels to wipe the bowl out,

EAT IT!
It adds wonderful flavour to other egg dishes, paella or panfried chicken breasts (which tend to go too dry)!.
A small amount of saturated fat is not harmful, and you have to add less salt to the food as the bacon fat is already a bit salty!. I also use it for green bean dishes - "stir fry" the beans in the bacon fat then let them steam in own released water, maybe only 1 tablespoon of water added!.
I keep the fat in a stoneware sugar bowl, so it has a lid!.
If you must throw it away, put a sheet of newspaper and 3 paper towels on a plate and pour it onto that, ready to wrap once its gone cold!.
If you have no wild animals to attract, all cats and most dogs will happily eat it, too, and they can handle a lot of fat in their diets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't normally save bacon grease!. I always have a can available or I put a paper towel in a small bowl and pour the grease in!. When it hardens, I just grab the edge of the paper towel and all of it comes out at once!. If you do save it for use later, strain it well and place in the refrigerator!. It can be used for the best home fries ever!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes that is what I do!. I just leave it on the pan until it is cool enough to wipe out with a paper towel or I just wait until it gets hard the scrape it out with a rubber satchel!. If I opened a can of veggie to serve with supper I sometimes pour the grease into that can the when it cool throw it in the garbage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I use an old coffee can with a lid to pour all my grease in!. I just throw away the can when it is full, which is usually about the same time I empty another coffee can!.
It is fine to leave it in the pan until it hardens, but I can't stand to leave dishes sitting that long!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

A vegetable can with some paper towels in the bottom!. Or drink a little can of V8, cut the top off with a can opener and pour it in there!. Some cooks store it in the refrigerator to use as seasoning for green beans, eggs, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can let the grease set and than remove it and place it in the trash!. also, consider having a container for just grease that you keep refrigerated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you want to make the skunks and raccoons in your neighborhood happy, pour it out in the back yard!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes you can leave it in the pan to get hard and then take a paper towel and wipe it into the trash can!. That is what I do if I don't have an old coffee can available!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I grab a bunch of newspapers and put them in the sink!. Then I pour the grease on the papers slowly so it is absorbed by the papers and then I toss out the newspapers!. Use the regular newsprint, not the glossy ads!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It depends on if you want to keep it!. I pour it in a pot that im going to cook beans in for dinner, along with any realy hard peaces of bacon!. But you can put it in anything!.

I use an old peanut canister or you could use an old coffee canister, something that has a lid so you can stick it in a cabinet and dump it in the trash can once its not liquid anymore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Sure!. Let the grease cool and then scrape it out and throw it in the trash or save it in a plastic container and put it in the fridge (here in the south, we season veggies with it)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
