If you are a bacon lover and cook bacon often, the good news is now you can reuse your bacon grease by storing it. The first step is to pour bacon grease through a piece of cheesecloth into the container. If you won’t strain it, there will be some small pieces of bacon in it, and those may cause the lard to go rancid early. Now it’s time to put the fat in storage for later use. The freezer is most suitable because the grease will stay soft enough to scoop, so you can have delightful solid drippings at the ready.
