Okay but how? In what? For how long? Do you reuse it again? How often? Does it go bad? Where do I put the jar? Do I close it? People just say shit like "save your grease" and expect me to know what to do.

[–] RobotFK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You put it with the jar into general waste. I guess you could also filter and reuse it if you had the materials and will

There's a movie called The Greasy Strangler that reveals all.

My mum used to have a lard jar that was a mix of concealed bacon fat and god knows what else. Not a fan.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 33 points 21 hours ago (10 children)

Are you the same people complaining about increasing food prices who are also throwing away the best part? The bacon is the byproduct. People! Save this grease and use it when another recipe calls for butter.

If possible I save the grease. My house is next to a river, so I made it a habbit to not just throw away food but feed it to the fish. Sometimes we have leftovers and it's been a little too long to eat, so I throw it in the river.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's smart. Then you have a steady supply of fresh fish.

[–] bier@feddit.nl 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, as a kid I loved fishing, I recently started again, but I actually felt kind of bad for the fish. Maybe if this trend continues I'll be a vegan in the next 20 years.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The fish are going to die anyway. Might as well be the one getting fed by them.

If I cook a bunch of bacon, im using that bacon greased up pan to cook up a bunch of other food before i clean it. It makes everything taste so much better.

[–] Sonor@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

hmm, my cookies taste weird now, but okay

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Firestarter kits are weirdly expensive why would you eat the best accelerate?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Ran out of butter last week and found out when I went to make a little bit of fudge. I used the bacon fat I strain and keep in a jar in the fridge. I usually don't care for bacon tasting desserts, but I wasn't mad about that decision at all.

As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

You don't have Plumbo or equivalent? it destroys all organic matter it touches. Fatbergs, human hair, small rodents, I've never paid anymore to clear anything.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Keep it in a mug by the sink

Every time the mug fills up, dump it into a pot of very hot water, give it a stir, pour it into a mason jar, seal it tightly, and put it in the fridge upside down.

When it's cold, dump out the water, scrape the thin top layer of crap off, and voila, you have perfectly usable high smoke point salted lard for frying.

If you fry fresh pork belly, save that fat separately, do the same thing, and you have pure lard.

I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.

[–] droans@midwest.social 14 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.

Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, "flushable" wipes, etc), half grease and fats.

If it's a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn't go down the drain.

I always chug a beer/soda, open the top of the can using a can opener, and pour the grease into that.

NOTE: make sure all the liquid is out of the bottom of the can (maybe wipe it down with a towel) or else the grease may shoot back out

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I use discarded cat food tins. Pour the grease into the tin, wait for it to solidify, toss in trash.
