I saw this idea on Pinterest a while back and decided to give it a try last week. I thought it would be a cool way to easily dispose of bacon grease, but it didn't work so well. Basically you line a small dish with foil and pour the hot grease into it and when it cools in a hardened glob you just ball up the foil and throw it away. Easy enough right? It has been some time since I made bacon, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't take that long for the grease to solidify. Maybe it's because the weathers been so warm or foil and grease have a funny reaction, but my grease only partially solidified overnight.
Maybe I will try again in the winter. I couldn't find the original Pin for this idea. Anyone else tried this trick?
In NY we used to pour bacon grease into a tin can and just keep adding to it...it would take months to solidify, and wasn't ever really solid.
