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

IF you absolutely must do this, make sure to fill the bottom of the sink with a little bit of cold standing water first. This helps to break up the grease and seal in the juices.
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.
“But Dad, my heart hurts.”
Butter is already like 90% fat.
If you aren’t the kind of person who eats bacon to get that bacon fat from in the first place, feel free to ignore.
In my house, you'll do what I do, and believe what I believe.
I love America
I guess they have been trained to not value valuable things so they can buy new things to serve that same purpose? I stayed with someone who threw away all the white part of his leeks because that was all just root and they once touched dirt or something.
Keep them money saved by using bacon grease for heart disease later on.
The savings go into the next pack of bacon, creating an endless bacon grease hack.
Our drains need to learn to evolve with our rapidly changing technology
Dad owned a low rent apartment house. people would put chicken bones in the drain and then call because the drain backed up. and take bulbs out of the hallway lights. He'd laugh about it then fix the stuff because he wasn't a good slum-lord. Probably never broke even
As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
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.
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.
so would olive oil be ok
Yes, Popeye will eat his spinach and rescue her.
Cost us over $200 to get a plumber to fix the drain when my partner decided to feed an entire jar of whole pickles into the garbage disposal.
The jar got stuck in my drain.

Like you don't even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain't no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽
Newer generations and less likely to own homes due to global housing markets cooling down. This is directly proportional to the inverse of fucks residents have about plumbering.
That said I wasn't raised to know this until the internet taught me. Then I started freezing them in cans and tossing in the trash.
Will I'll admit I was the dumb generation at some point(that point was the moment the garbage disposal stopped). He only took out a basic looking hex wrench, and shit was solved!
Sorry if I kept you up, or upset you.
Edit to add: I have no idea what I was trying to say, but it exists! You fuckers have fun trying to explain me!
This is why I like Lemmy. It's like OG reddit. People express opinions and we can have healthy discourse when someone disputes an opinion.
No worries.
Not upset just saying I consider myself intelligent and well educated but my parents never taught me this. They were renters and so was I.
We even got a clog and landlord for a plumber out. Once in 10 years.
Knew enough to waste hot water and pour boiling water down the drain to help it out.
I learned in my mid 20s to stop. People have different circumstances with their upbringing.
Yes!
This is my first time hearing of this ngl. Actually I'm not entirely sure what "grease" means, is it what is left from oil and butter after cooking meats? Meat juices? I've always poured it down the drain. Never even heard of anyone doing otherwise, least of all putting it in a jar.
Definitely don't put grease or oil down the drain if it is solid at room temperature. Even oil that's liquid at room temperature is bad for sewage systems - they combine with non-biodegradable sewage waste such as wet-wipes (Don't flush wet wipes down the toilet. Put them in the trash.) and turn into rocks that narrow and block the sewage pipes. See wiki on Fatbergs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg
Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. ... and they're proud of it.
