Bacon grease and other drippings

I figured out a good way to drain off bacon grease so that it can solidify and be tossed out. Put a cupcake liner in a custard cup (or any small low bowl-like thing) and pour off into it. When hard, pull out the liner and throw it out. You still have to wash the cup, but there's much less cleanup.

My grandmother used to pour the stuff into a tin can, which she'd replace when it got full. Thinking of that is kinda nauseating.

  1. Um... why, oh why would you want to toss that out?! Are you sure you understand the Atkins diet?

    I just had bacon and eggs for bruch. I cooked the bacon first, removed it from the pan and then cooked my omelet in all the remaining fat. Once cooked, I added a side of sour cream and ate everything. Yum!
