Oh, I always save some bacon grease, too! Comes in handy for hashbrowns
and other kinds of potato dishes, hamburgers (mix some in with raw
hamburger then make patties), eggs, pork chops, and many other
applications <g>. Bacon grease also adds a nice flavor to braised
meats. A little bit goes a long way . . . . ;>

Those little disposable aluminum loaf pans are perfect to use as
containers for the bacon grease. Just use a small piece of foil as a
cover. I never use much bacon grease, so I rotate those disposable
grease containers when I cook more recent batches of bacon. Suggestions
