What To Do With Bacon Grease??

What to do with bacon grease after you've cooked your bacon?

Well, I'll tell you what I do. I mean, what do you do with leftover bacon grease? Do you pour it down the drain? No, no, no, don't pour it down the drain. Do you pour it in the trash? No, no, no, don't pour it in the trash. Do you dump it out in the yard in the grass? No, no, no, don't do that either.

So what do I do with bacon grease after I've cooked bacon in it and I have the bacon grease leftover? Well, there's two things that I do. I have a grease can that was my mother's. And it has a strainer in the top of it where you can pour your hot grease in it, and it'll strain the bacon bits and the other particles out of your grease into the can.
And it would look like that right there. Okay?

So that's mainly what I do most of the time, but if I want to save more grease, which I do a lot of times, there's two ways of going about doing that. You can use a paper coffee filter and just kind of poke that down in there.

But I don't usually use a coffee filter because it's paper. And if you tear the paper or whatever, if it pokes a hole in it, then all your particles your bacon bits and the sugar and different things like that that burns in there that's what mainly burns in your skillet when you're cooking bacon is the sugar that's on the bacon. And so if you tear your paper filter, then all that's going to go in there, and you've got to redo the whole process again.

So what I basically like to do is use cheesecloth. If you have a piece of cheesecloth and you just take your cheesecloth, poke that down in there real good like that. Take and add your funnel like this right here. And then just take your warm bacon grease and just pour that into your funnel. And it's so much neater. You don't spill near as much that way, and you don't take a chance in ripping the paper and all those other particles getting down into your bacon grease.

And so it filters out all that stuff, all the particles, and everything real good, and then once you're done uh you have all these particles left in here bacon bits bacon particles burnt pieces where you cooked your bacon, and then you can just take and discard that.
