That coffee filter soaked with bacon grease can be re-purposed as a fire starter. If you have a woodstove. That’s what I use mine for.

[PitSmoke]

I like to save my bacon grease too. I just filter and put it in mason jars. I like the idea of making the cubes (Those skull cubs are cool) and putting them into bags, storing them in the freezer, and getting out just what you need. Great tip! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[strongsadventures]

Very cool tips Lee. I really like how you used the silicone mold. Thanks for sharing buddy

[shovelhead]

Great tips, Lee. Thank you for sharing them with us. Stay safe and stay cool

[CookingwithKory]

Most excellent tips! Nothing better than some bacon grease. Nothing better than skull shaped bacon grease.

[BBQPITDOG]

Hey Lee great idea using the coffee filter and freezing the cubes. Been saving bacon grease forever and didn't know these tricks! Just made popcorn with bacon grease Friday...delicious! Y'all have a great weekend!

[BehindtheGarageBBQ]

Great tips Lee! The canning funnel to hold the filter is perfect, I really liked the bacon grease skulls, nice touch!😁👍 thanks for sharing brother, have yourself a great one, you all stay safe!👍🍻👊🤘

[cindys.w.]

Use a mason jar ring to hold the coffee filter in place or a rubber band.

[TheCrunchbird]

Great video, I love those skulls. One small tip, when the fat starts to cool and thicken up you can put the jar and funnel (plastic funnel only) in the microwave for a few seconds to liquify it and get it free flowing.

My grandmother kept hers in a ceramic jar by the stove forever and it never went bad. She poured it off from her bacon and made sure to only get the grease. Liquid gold.

[MrCastIron]

Yes sir! Great tips and tricks Lee! I always save my grease too!! Liquid gold, I say, lol!

[nicolenadia]

I usually use a metal sieve but this is so much better. Brilliant!

[PicklesBBQandCooking]

Love those little skull bacon grease cubes, that’s a great idea Bear! Having some bacon grease on hand is always good, nice tips man! 🤘🤘

[CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

My brother thanks for the great tips definitely helpful. I saw you got a cool sticker lol 😂. Thanks for sharing and have yourself a great week. Cheers ✌🍻
🤘!!!ROCK ON!!!🤘

[janselismaldonado]

Good idea using the coffee filter and freezing in small parts, thanks!

[gschneider]

Thanks for the info 👍... how do you clean out & store your cast iron skillet ?

[bbrxlef]

If you don't have a coffee filter a paper towel works great. Have you priced bacon grease in the grocery store? This is liquid gold! I filter mine with a paper towel into a cute decorative canning jelly jar. It looks so cute on the counter.

My family had a farm where they grew tobacco. Some of the steps during harvest can be pretty tough on your hands. Back in the day they used to rub lard on their hands to help protect them. During harvest a few years ago, they decided to try it out. So they went into the basement and opened an old can of lard. My grandmother remebered that the lard was from the last pig ever butchered on the farm. That pig was butchered the same day that JFK was assassinated. Goes to show how great these techniques can be when done properly.

[SouthernFoodJunkie]

Great tip buddy. I always save my grease too. I really like the mold too though. Very smart.

[ActualSighs]

Next time, try putting the funnel in the jar first. Put the filter inside the funnel. Clip the filter to the funnel with small binder clips or paper clips. This gives you a lot more surface area to filter the fat and there is no chance for any of it to drip over the side unless you overfill it. It will strain it faster.
