If a recipe calls for it, usually it's right after cooking some bacon as part of a recipe.

So if I want to save bacon grease, do I have to save it in the fridge? Isn't that stuff loaded with preservatives already? Anyhow, if in the fridge how long does it last?

Nah, even natural bacon grease is as stable as any other oil or lard. Just keep it covered so flies or moths don't flutter down into it.

I prefer to strain it and put it in the fridge. It's scoopable like shortening.

In my day when I was just a lil tike I remember the tin with lid labeled bacon grease. I didn't know why but Mom and just about every house of relatives or neighbors had this same tin jar displayed predominately on the stove top.

Then pork and bacon got a bad name and it dissipated from the scene. Now its back in force. I was over at my sisters and on her stove top was that tin labeled bacon grease on it.

You mean when I cook bacon I should just drain the fat into an empty glass jar and put a lid on it and store in the fridge? And then the next time I cook something on the stove, use the bacon fat instead of oil?

I keep mine in a pudding dish in the fridge, uncovered. I'm assuming that's OK since it's in the fridge.

No, you definitely want to keep it covered. Fat can really easily absorb other flavors and aromas. So keep it airtight.

Strain it first and let it cool before lidding it, but pretty much.

My mom never kept something like that. I don't recall my maternal granma's cooking habits but I recall my paternal's NEVER saw that. The bacon grease jar was for tossing so it wouldn't clog the sink. However, that side of the family would barely touch butter. It was olive oil.
