do you save bacon grease? - DONT POUR DOWN DRAIN! (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Ected]

I would add that all the hot water does is push it further down the line before it clogs.

I tend to pour grease down the sink with water and run the disposal. Never had a problem.

Breakfast potatoes with onions, peppers, garlic, and sausage cooked in bacon grease is the best. The only fats I cook with anymore are bacon grease, olive oil, coconut oil, and butter.

No. I just let it congeal in the pan, wipe with a paper towel and throw it away

Use a folded paper towel to wipe out the pan before it congeals, let cool, then store in a Ziploc bag. Best firestarter ever.

Can you taste coconut when you cook with the oil? I HATE the taste of coconut. It's the only reason I haven't applied to be on Survivor.

I use it for the dry skin on my elbows.

Not really, but you do smell it when you cook with it. So that may exclude you from using. Fried up some halibut in coconut oil a couple of weeks ago, made a really light, tasty fish n' chips.

I even put it in my coffee sometimes (coconut oil, not bacon grease).

Bacon grease in coffee

This isn't it, but saw it on the food channel as well - guy kept a cooked down amount with lots of bacon grit. I think it was Bourdain.

Better recipe.

Discovered this while camping years ago. It works better than anything else I've ever tried and has the bonus of smelling great.

I've always used dryer sheets stuffed in an empty paper towel roll as my firestarter. Your way seems much easier and I dont have to collect dryer sheets for a month. Gonna try this next time I fire up the fire pit.

I'll have to try this as an alternative to coconut oil and grass-fed butter in my coffee when I feel like drinking my breakfast.

Backpacking I've used cotton balls covered in Vaseline, but that's for small little fires. A couple of "bacon towels" will get a good sized fired going in no time.

Duck - have you tried avocado oil? I'm a huge avocado fan, but haven't tried the oil. Mark coincidentally posted a new article on it today.

This is how I get rid of most of my grease as it is. I use a folded paper towel and wipe it out, then let the towel cool, then toss it in the trash. I'm only one step away from fire-starters. Great idea.

 

[Bobcat10]

No, but I'm going to give it a try now. I always save the grease in a jar and then just throw the jar away in a few weeks.

Just because it doesn't clog your pipes, doesn't mean it's not going to clog somewhere further down the line. A 10-ton blob of grease was just removed from a London sewer. It had gotten so heavy that it broke the pipe.

Also, don't flush wet wipes. Even the ones that say they're flushable. They don't break up like toilet paper does.

My house was built in 1950 and I have to be really careful about any kind of oil going down the drain or else my washing machine backs up into my sink.

Condoms too...I never thought they were flushable, but I didn't want to just throw them in the trash. Guy came to pump out my septic tank one time and had a few choice words about what I should and shouldn't flush...

Do you soak the towel in grease or just fold and wipe? Seems like soaking some strips of corrugated cardboard would work awesome too.

I usually just use the same paper towel the cooked bacon was placed on, so like three paper towels folded up in the size of 1/2 a sheet - mop up the grease with one side and then the other and bag it.

I'm more worried about Mountain Lions because I've never actually seen one, but I know that they've seen me.
