  why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the food waste bin

    because popping corn in the bacon grease is the tastiest thing ever.

    Because I add the grease to my compost heap and I don’t like paper towel.

      I hate using paper towels. I use those silicone flexible spatulas to get the oil that’s taking too long to drop down.

    I use a jar because saved bacon grease makes for a tasty pre-salted lipid additive for free!

  Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.

    The plummer cost will most likely be for you if it clogs the drain, otherwise you have a pretty good landlord.

    Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”

    Aand resume.

      If it’s septic it’s whatever. Bigger issue if it’s not, then tax dollars are required to fix it, and it’s just wrecking infrastructure

  We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it’ll make a good grease receptacle.

  Can, pour the grease into a can. Glass is likely to energetically and spontaneously disassemble when temperature shock occurs.

  source

  • Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah you don’t pour it immediately. You wait for it to cool off a bit.

    source

    • HikingVet@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Pour it when it’s hot and you don’t have as much cleaning.

  I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.

  The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.

      It’ll last 6 months easy in the fridge. But try to get most of the solids out with a fork when it’s still hot. And when ya use it, don’t double dip - new spoon/knife each time ya need some.

    For maximum enjoyment, drink it directly from the jar. Preferably while warm.

    And use for tortillas and savory pie crust.

    When my grandma had “too much” of it she would mix it with seeds and put it out for the woodpeckers in winter

  Don’t pour hot grease in a glass jar or it’ll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.

    Get frozen orange juice and save the cardboard tube to hold the grease while it congeals.

    I’ve been pouring hot grease in glass jars for decades without having one shatter. You’re severely overestimating the risks

    source

    • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It depends on where you’re from, glass jars/drinking glasses in Germany don’t shatter from thermal shock, but they do in the US.

      I reflexively yelled at my boss once because he poured recently boiling water out of a glass and turned the cold faucet on to rinse it out while scrubbing, and I thought he was about to cut the shit out of his hand. He got contemplative for a moment and then said that he had forgotten that that used to happen in Afghanistan (where he was from), but it doesn’t happen in Germany.

      I have had this happen once. Cold jar, didnt let the grease cool enough… was my bad. Same as if you’re going to put it into a metal can while its still really hot, make sure the can isnt sitting on something that will melt.

      I think the best advice is “Dont pour the grease while its still hot enough to burn you”

      source
    • baggins@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I may be speaking from experience. I only pour grease into cans and foil now.

      source
  • grue@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Eh, a small mason jar is tough enough to handle a few tablespoons of bacon grease or whatever without shattering. But sure, if you’ve got a lot of grease at once, let it cool down first (or better yet, refrigerate the pot roast or whatever it is you’ve made, so that you can just pull the grease off the top of the pot in one hardened puck).

  • Pulptastic@midwest.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I use a Pyrex container if I want to safe the grease. Otherwise I make a bowl of aluminum foil, pour it into that, and toss it once it hardens.

    source

    • Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Modern pyrex isnt any more heat resistant than any other soda glass, they switched in like the 90s. But regular glass is fine for grease, I use an old pasta sauce jar.

    That’s why I pour it into the jar in the sink.

    That and I’m really messy and the sink is the easiest place to clean up spilled grease.

    I once cut out a piece of pipe in some guys home, because it was all fucked. The pipe was suuuuper heavy and upon inspection it looked like someone poured concrete down there. It was very hard to clean, the guy had to hammer on it while having a pressure washer wash it out. As it turns out, his wife used multiple washing tabs in the machine to make it extra clean. She did that for over a decade.

    source

    • LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’ve done this too for some washes. The shrinkflation on those capsules is unreal too so gotta throw in a couple to make it up for that. How did it cause a problem?

      source
    • ryedaft@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, you can also fuck up your dishwasher pipes very quickly by using descaling meant for washing machines. Because of the salt you already add.

    Pipes are made for liquids. Congealed fat is not a liquid. Pipes should not be made to handle things that aren’t meant to go in them.

      Whatever is downstream of my sink should be built to handle food waste. That must include fats. Not my fault if they half-assed it honestly.

    Yeah.

    They’re not doing maintenance until something happens.

    Like waste water coming up your drains, flooding your apartment with black, hardened, crystalized fat and stinking water because your upstairs neighbor has the washing machine running but the water can’t go anywhere because the waste water main is clogged somewhere between your flat and the one below yours. This will happen on the day after tradies finish putting new laminate flooring in your entire apartment.

    Don’t ask me how I know.
