Save it in a jar after straining it a couple of times. Give it to my daughter as she is burning lamps from kitchen Oil. They are getting off the grid and doing pretty darn good.

I leave it to cool down and solidify, then I scrape it into an old plastic grocery shopping bag - tie a knot and deposit it in the outside rubbish bin.

Great idea using for lamp oil. I hadn't thought about that. I save it in a jar. I found out that it's the best thing to remove a splinter from your finger. Works like a charm every time, no pain, just rub gently til splinter comes out.

I keep a jar in the freezer or refrig, then when finished cooking after it cools I pour it in the jar, when the jar is full I toss it then start another jar.

I save my bacon grese in the icebox and use it when i am cooking anything fried or in my green beans for flavoring. As for the beef fat in put it in a container and throw it it the  trash and never down my sink as it will glog the drains the same as it glogs up us.

Well the way we take care of it is to pour it into a coffe can.  Than we need it we melt it down and use it in outside lamps and torches.

I save and reuse the bacon grease. Although I don't feel it is the healthiest thing to use I do like the taste of it.  Beef grease, I do not reuse that I just pout it down the garbage disposal with a little dish washing liquid and hot water so it will not clog it up.

Ikeep some bacon grease in a jar in the frige great to use with some greens. The rest goes into old jars or cans with lids along with the paper towels i clean with. Never ever put any kind of grease down your drains. It could get very costly to get them cleaned.

I had to purchase two stainless steel cans with strainers on them for my fish grease and chicken grease.  Beef grease I throw away by running some hot water in the sink and pouring it down.  It does not serve a purpose for me. ;D :peace:

I keep a coffee can under the sink that fits down inside an old ceramic planter (so grease doesn't get on the bottom of the cabinet.)  Since there are no metal coffee cans anymore, you need to be careful that the grease is cool.  I also wipe out the pan with the used napkins from breakfast and put those in the trash.  Just a small amount of grease can clog your pipes so I try to put as little as possible down the drain with the dishwater.

I have a ceramic container that holds a can on top of my stove.
I usually use a dog food can. It fits perfectly.  When it gets filled
I toss it and put another can in.

i'd use a glass jar with lid.....then you can keep it in the fridge, and because the glass is clear, you can see if anything's gone bad.

We usually put it in a pasta sauce jar or empty can until it is full then throw it away. It does take a while because we don't eat much beef and bacon. It's not very healthy for you.

I like to use as much of mine in cooking as I can. I like the flavor it gives my food. I especially like it in my eggs, whether i am cooking an omelet or just scrambled eggs. Bacon grease is also a good way to grease your cast iron skillet after you have cleaned it. I really don't like to waste and bacon grease has too many purposes for use to just throw it away.

I drain mine into a coffee cup and after it cools I pour it into a ziplock bag and throw it in the trash.  I used to have a "grease pot" that I would keep several different drippings in but I got tired of that greasy mess and threw it all away.

I used to keep my grease from cooking bacon or beef in a metal can but now for health reasons I do not. I just found out that after a day or two of keeping the bacon/grease juices they can turn into some kind of bacterias. Don't know how true this statement is but I prefer not to take chances, as this does seem logical as the greases contains lots of fats-left over fats  ???

I have a bad habit of pouring it down the sink and fortunately have not had any clogs.  I flush it with hot water.  But since we have a dog my husband pours it over the dog's food and the dog loves it and his coat is so shiny and pretty.  He has picked up some weight too.  He looks good too but he's a pit not sure if you would want to give it to any other kind of dog.

I no longer eat anything fried, or that has cholesterol in it. But when I was a kid with a Mexican mother and an Irish, but southern raised father, there was lots of grease in the house. We used to ad a grease cutting dish soap to it and some water, and heat it. We would then pour it in the toilet and flush it down. ( Not advised if you have a septic tank)

Bacon in a jar in fridge, sometimes use to make gravy; beef in an old can or solidify then throw.
