Don’t listen to this awful man children. Pour fat down the drain, it’s ok.

There's a movie called The Greasy Strangler that reveals all.

You save it up in a can or a jar and then you have a world of options:

Throw it away Make soap from it Throw it away Use it to season cast iron pots and pans Throw it away Cook with it if it's from the last few days Throw it away Add it to outdoor dog food in the winter Throw it away Soften dry ski-you know what, just throw it away.

You put it with the jar into general waste. I guess you could also filter and reuse it if you had the materials and will

And probably buying shitty meats for starters.

that's animal abuse!

I use discarded cat food tins. Pour the grease into the tin, wait for it to solidify, toss in trash.

Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!

If possible I save the grease. My house is next to a river, so I made it a habbit to not just throw away food but feed it to the fish. Sometimes we have leftovers and it's been a little too long to eat, so I throw it in the river.

Firestarter kits are weirdly expensive why would you eat the best accelerate?

If I cook a bunch of bacon, im using that bacon greased up pan to cook up a bunch of other food before i clean it. It makes everything taste so much better.

Ran out of butter last week and found out when I went to make a little bit of fudge. I used the bacon fat I strain and keep in a jar in the fridge. I usually don't care for bacon tasting desserts, but I wasn't mad about that decision at all.

“But Dad, my heart hurts.”

You don't have Plumbo or equivalent? it destroys all organic matter it touches. Fatbergs, human hair, small rodents, I've never paid anymore to clear anything.

Keep it in a mug by the sink

Every time the mug fills up, dump it into a pot of very hot water, give it a stir, pour it into a mason jar, seal it tightly, and put it in the fridge upside down.

When it's cold, dump out the water, scrape the thin top layer of crap off, and voila, you have perfectly usable high smoke point salted lard for frying.

If you fry fresh pork belly, save that fat separately, do the same thing, and you have pure lard.

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.
