Well Badash (Hah! cool screenname) I pour it out of the frying pan right into a cup/jar/container. It's grease, so you don't have to put it in the fridge, my mom used to keep it in a special mug right next to the stove. However I've gotten into the habit of keeping it in a small sealed container in the fridge. You can then use it to cook things with, whatever needs...grease....mmm bacon grease.

I pour it over my dogs food.It is supposed to give my dog a shiny coat of fur.

i bath in it

Throw it in a can then toss it in the garbage.

Save it and make refired beans ... yum ... or pour it down the drain with scalding hot water so it doesn't clog the pipes by coagulating in the cold water

If I'm cooking it for breakfast, I use a little to make gravy. Otherwise, I throw it away.

I save it in a jar in the fridge, and use it later to flavor things. A tea spoon melted over 3 cups of green beans, yumm.

I spent a lot of time growing up in the country on my Great Aunts farm. She always used to put it in a container and put it in the fridge. Then she would use it to cook other foods with. It gave them a really good flavor. I cook with it now.

make your own soap with it. or if you are environmentalist, see if you can turn it into biodiesel.

I do the whole pour it down the drain while running hot water. It works.

I have heard it makes some of the best homemade pie crusts. Some people use it to flavor veggies and make gravy, also.

I save it. I use it to flavor other things. I use it to fry liver in; can be used in making gravies and sauces; if nothing else, I pour it over my dog's food as it gives him a shiny coat.

I like to make cabbage with the grease it gives it a good flavor.

I let it cool and toss it. If you're cooking breakfast, you can use the grease to cook your eggs in. You can put bacon grease into a lot of dishes for flavor. Mac & Cheese, any soup, potato salad just to name a few.

i but in my dog food and he really seems to love it.

From ground beef too- I pour it into a bowl. I'll either clean it up that night by soaking up 3-4 paper towels and putting the trash or I'll let it sit overnight and toss with one paper towel since it’s in a solid state. I’ve tried using a plastic jug or a coffee can, - keep adding until the container is full- but that stuff gets smelly and I’d rather get rid of it quick.

I pour it into a paper cup then wait for it to harden before I take it out to the trash can and throw it in. Same thing for the fat off of hamburger and what not. You? Thanks for asking!!

Make gravy w/ it

mmmm... u can use it again as grease to fried chicken or anything fried

Bacon grease with onions, green beans, and potatoes
