How should I get rid of a can of bacon grease?

[Craig234]

Bake bacon, pour grease in can.

What to do to dispose of it?

Pouring it in a drain seems a good way to totally block the drain.

Dumping the can in the trash would be very messy.

Dumping it on the ground? yuck.

Is there any better way to dispose of it than buy some sealed containers for the trash?

(The 'cook with it' option I'm not interested in.

Even if I were, it's way past that option).

Let it cool, wrap in plastic bag, throw in trash can.

Grease some rifle cartridges. What's the worst that could happen?

 

[CraKaJaX]

Don't mind IronWing... Someone he got out from his cage again.

Pour it into an empty screw cap bottle (soda, water, etc.), reapply the cap and throw in the trash.

 

[IronWing]

Re-season your cast iron.

Cool it down until it is solid and then throw it in the trash?

Yep

 

[waggy]

as others said let it cool. wrap it in a plastic bag and toss it.

Or keep it to cook with. I use it for eggs, hamburgers, etc.

or give it to klin with a spoon. he will eat it!

My mom did that a lot.

I let it cool, then dump it in a gatorade bottle and save it till the bottle is full. Then toss. no mess.

Bacon grease is useful for cooking. Some otherwise boring dishes can acquire a nice flavor. Brussel Sprouts for instance. Chop them up and add some bacon grease, toss until coated and put in the oven. Delicious.

Sometimes I just pour the grease (and other used fry oil) into a compost pile in the backyard. It soaks into the lawn clippings and eventually decomposes into fertilizer that I spread onto my garden.

Sending it down a garbage disposal might work if the grease is cold and the water you're running is cold too. But the trash is usually the way to go.

Dont do this. The grease will only solidify down the line and result in a blockage somewhere else.

 

[IronWing]

Put the grease in a pot on the stove; bring it a slow boil. Suspend strings into the grease and turn the heat down very slowly until off. Bacon rock candy FTW!

Put in chili.

Put in chili.

Pour the chili into the toilet and cut out the manmiddle.

Our city says to put it in a suitable container and put it in the trash.

Never pour it down the drain.

Either use a bit when cooking stuff like eggs or if you live in a cold area that freezes as it's winter time you can use it to make bird suet as they love it when you mix some bird seed in it and hang it for them.

am i the only one who uses bacon grease for making sure scrambled eggs doesn't stick and to add flavour?

That's why he said cold. If it is already solid, it goes in chunks and keeps flowing, as long as it never melts that is.

Ive spread the cold grease on bread as a substitute for butter. Its also great for making cornbread. Filter the hot grease first to remove the crunchy bacon and cooking remnants and it solidifes to a white paste.

Doesn't even have to be winter as long as it isn't too hot. Pine cones make a good carrier for bird treats.
