I thought I'd share something with you guys that I discovered a couple of years ago while cooking ground beef. I absolutely HATE draining the fat. I'm not strong enough to hold the pan with one hand, the lid with the other, all while trying to balance it over the narrow opening of a jar. So out of sheer laziness, I put foil in a bowl and poured in the grease. It was a wider opening so I didn't have to worry about it spilling and sloshing over the sides. And then what'dya know? When it gets hard you can just crumple it and throw it away! I'm pretty sure Brandon thought I was a weirdo at first, but he now acknowledges the genius of my ways ;-)
You're welcome :-)

That jar of grease is sick anyway! EW!! Growing up, my mom always kept it under our kitchen sink. I avoided it at all costs. Great idea! I'll be using this!
Meg ;)
I second the genius notion! What else ya got??
Nice! We have gross coffee tins full of it in our freezer. Waaay in the back of the freezer lol. This may be our new go to method!! :)
Seeing as all I do is pour the fat into the sink (along with several crumbles of beef that sneak out) and I've heard that's horrible for your drain, yet continue to do it anyway........I should probably start using your trick.
Thank you for your genius-level sharing.
haha it's the little things that count, what a good idea, I hate grease too...at one point i would just pour it onto a stack of paper towels, so domestic I know! This seems to be a better idea
what a waste of foil which you cant recycle because of the grease.
I saw this on pinterest last week... and totally did it Monday night.
AWESOME
this is amazing!!!!! haah I am bad and just pour mine down the drain, hey we are moving out soon :-)
