Instructions
To store bacon fat, let it cool so it is still warm enough to pour, but not too hot.
Pour the liquid fat into a heatproof container using a fine mesh strainer.
I usually pour mine into a wide mouth glass jar. This makes for easy pouring and easy spooning out of the solidified fat.
Make sure that you do not keep adding to the jar as the grease on the bottom is the oldest.
