Hell nah, jar. Next time you pan fry something, use the bacon grease to take it to a whole nother level.
It’s also tasty as an ingredient in pasta sauces, stews, and soups. I use a bit when I make gumbo.
Ok pro tip for getting rid of your grease that doesn’t assume you have infinite containers lying around or make you wait forever for it to solidify.
Put a sheet of aluminum foil down over your drain so it creates a cup. Then pour your grease in that cup. Then drop an ice cube in if you feel like it.
Then just lift the edges and twist the top of your foil and put it in the trash.
Aluminium foil needs a lot of energy to produce. I’d recommend an old newspaper or (non laminated) cardboard to soak it up. If you plan a barbecue anytime soon, you can use the greasy paper as a perfect firestarter. Otherwise just put it in the trash when cold.
