This isn't for me, but grandma just kept it in a jar on the back of the stove.

Do you keep it in the fridge?

I am coming up with recipes of stuff that people can make with things they get at the food bank. They usually give out these three pound packages of frozen bacon, so I figure they might as well save the grease for use since it is already there.

And yes, I can google but various places have various ideas. Can versus jar, fridge vs not, etc...

Pour the bacon grease into a paper towel or coffee filter over a mason jar. This will filter out the solids and let it dry. Now you have clean bacon grease and a paper towel that you can you to start a charcoal fire.

That is a good tip for this book I am making.

Thank you

Growing up, every housewife had one of these on the stovetop.

You can do the same with orange peel. Dry the orange peel in a paper bag and just lite the whole bag. Smells really good too.

Mason jar in the fridge for me.

I am telling them in this book to use citrus peels in vinegar to make a bathroom cleaner.

But I will use that tip too.
Thanks again

I would like a copy of this book

You really want a book where I show them how to make banana oatmeal pancakes out of overripe bananas, generic oats, and eggs? Stuff they can get from the pantry?

Sure, post a link if you don't mind, when you're done or could use some feedback. My email is in my profile if you want to mail it to me.

Yes I do

My wife me those pancakes on Saturday (with blueberries thrown in) and I thought they were delicious!

take the top off of a coke can, put it in the freezer, throw away when full

In a coffee can on the back of the stove.

I have one in my kitchen as well. Use it for leftover oil and grease from cooking that i don't want to wash down the sink. Fill it up, dump it out back and let the ants and what not gorge periodically.

Bacon is in a mason jar int he fridge, use it for a lot of different things.

The solids make the roux better

Are you going to include a recipe for bacon mayonnaise?
