Says people who have never lived alone.
Like you don’t even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain’t no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽
Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. … and they’re proud of it.
Pour it down the drain to punish the landlord for raising the rent.
Obligatory response to this meme e’er time, “Sigh, if it’s on septic its massively expensive infrastructure the tenant will be held liable for 10/10 times, and will only render one less living space habitable. And if it’s on sewer it’s punishing the public’s wastewater treatment facility.”
Aand resume.
If it’s septic it’s whatever. Bigger issue if it’s not, then tax dollars are required to fix it, and it’s just wrecking infrastructure
Don’t pour hot grease in a glass jar or it’ll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.
Are you... speaking from experience?
I use a Pyrex container if I want to safe the grease. Otherwise I make a bowl of aluminum foil, pour it into that, and toss it once it hardens.
That’s why I pour it into the jar in the sink.
That and I’m really messy and the sink is the easiest place to clean up spilled grease.
I can't tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.
The answer is don't. "It will be fine" for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won't tell you that.
Step 1: Get chickens Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease Step 3: stir until they’ve absorbed the fat Step 4: treat the chickens Step 5: ??? Step 6: Profit!
It isn’t put in the jar to throw away, its put in the jar to cook more food with.
For maximum enjoyment, drink it directly from the jar. Preferably while warm.
How long does bacon grease last? How can I tell if it went bad? Does it last longer in the fridge?
You can freeze it!
It’ll last 6 months easy in the fridge. But try to get most of the solids out with a fork when it’s still hot. And when ya use it, don’t double dip - new spoon/knife each time ya need some.
And use for tortillas and savory pie crust.
When my grandma had “too much” of it she would mix it with seeds and put it out for the woodpeckers in winter
Let it be the landlord’s problem.

You’re not just “sticking it to the man” when you do this though — you’re being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.
that’s the city’s fault for banning private septic systems
Yeah.
They’re not doing maintenance until something happens.
Like waste water coming up your drains, flooding your apartment with black, hardened, crystalized fat and stinking water because your upstairs neighbor has the washing machine running but the water can’t go anywhere because the waste water main is clogged somewhere between your flat and the one below yours. This will happen on the day after tradies finish putting new laminate flooring in your entire apartment.
Don’t ask me how I know.
It ruins things for everyone in your local area though. Fatburgs aren’t localised to your landlords house.
Exactly.
Concrete in the toilet, now that’s an idea.
“Yeah take that landlord!”
*clogs their own pipes*
The tenant special
Like a landlord is going to fix your clogged drain anytime soon. They’re not your mom, they’re a business. You’ll be lucky if a plumber comes out in a couple of weeks.
why would you bother with a jar? just leave the pan to cool then wipe it up with some paper and toss it in the food waste bin

I use a jar because saved bacon grease makes for a tasty pre-salted lipid additive for free!
Because I add the grease to my compost heap and I don’t like paper towel.
I hate using paper towels. I use those silicone flexible spatulas to get the oil that’s taking too long to drop down.
Can, pour the grease into a can. Glass is likely to energetically and spontaneously disassemble when temperature shock occurs.
Yeah you don’t pour it immediately. You wait for it to cool off a bit.
Pour it when it’s hot and you don’t have as much cleaning.
Excess coffee cups received as gifts work too.
Burn the grease in woodstove or fireplace for extra heat
Just throw some dishwasher detergent down there once a month. It’ll be fine.
I once cut out a piece of pipe in some guys home, because it was all fucked. The pipe was suuuuper heavy and upon inspection it looked like someone poured concrete down there. It was very hard to clean, the guy had to hammer on it while having a pressure washer wash it out. As it turns out, his wife used multiple washing tabs in the machine to make it extra clean. She did that for over a decade.
Well she clearly wasn’t preheating her hot tap water.
/s
But its delicious
the pipes can handle it
should*
Pipes are made for liquids. Congealed fat is not a liquid. Pipes should not be made to handle things that aren’t meant to go in them.
so much good lard gets tossed out, i know this may be unpopular opinion, but much healthier than any vegetableseed oil
yeah it’s unpopular because it’s nonsense
seed oils have a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, and know to be inflammatory and contribute to chronic disease, including type 2 diabetes, one of the biggest killers of western society
We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it’ll make a good grease receptacle.

As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
