I hate to think of all of us just tossing this stuff out -- surely there must be some mutant maggots feeding off of this mess :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Disposing of Bacon and Other Grease Post by abqjudy (15) | (08/15/2006) Profile | Contact Just remember that bacon grease is saturated animal fat and needs to be balanced with other fats such as olive, and other vegetable oils. I grew up on bacon grease in veggies and green beans with potatoes in a pot just don't taste right without a bit of bacon grease cooked in. However, we also have to care for our heart health and avoid obesity, so using other fats along with a bit of bacon is better.

As it is a meat by-product the grease can be stored fore several days in a fridge or several months in a freezer but do not mix it with other grease or fat products. If you are going to recycle the grease do not pore or store it into a plastic container as a chemical reaction may occure - the plastic was never made to receive hot fats. Please use clean glass.

I store it with the lid on it in the freezer. When it gets full, I just trash the entire thing.

My mom told me growing up that keeping it in the fridge is like keeping month old cooked meat and it will go bad. My wife likes to keep it and I keep throwing it away. Please email me at lumberjsck90@yahoo.com so we can get this issue settled.

Glass stuff I can recycle.

It avoids the problem of animals breaking into the rubbish sacks ("garbage" I believe, for you Americans!) when they are outside awaiting collection. I am new today, and looking forward to a lot of interesting reading and useful tips on this site. I am in the UK so hope I don't offend anyone!

I keep it the year around in my refridgerator. bjwebb Report Spam or Abuse
