You shouldn’t pour it down the drain for obvious reasons but putting it in a jar is weird af. Is there some actual reason for the jar that I don’t know? Whenever I have to do the dishes and there is a lot of grease in a pan I just put a few papertowels (if needed) in the trash and pour the grease in there. When I’m done with the dishes I take the trash out.
Depends on how much grease you have— always stored bacon grease in glass jars to use later for greasing pans and given bacony flavor. Secondly, grease pours easily and is liquid when hot, but because it’s hot you can’t pour it into the trash, or wipe it clean with paper towels as mentioned. You have to let it cool which means it becomes more of a mess.
Yes but hot grease can damage plumbing and cool fast enough to cause clogging over time. Pour it down the sink is totally fine, but you gotta run hot water with it

with Premium Brand paper towels it really doesn’t matter, you can let the pan cool down and then wipe it with the paper towel. Works really good
In Germany you can get a free bucket for collecting grease at your local recycling center. When its full, you exchange it for an empty one.
Really? Thats pretty cool fr. Is that offered to dissuade people from pouring it down the drain?
I only use a few paper towels cleaning out the jar when it’s full. That’s my reasoning.
