It doesn't melt and is so easy to use and toss in the dishwasher when I feel I need to wash it. <br /><br />I buy bacon ends & pieces and toss it into the crockpot and when the grease is rendered, I pour the grease out into my jar. I could line my crock with foil, but haven't done that, it would make clean up easier.<br /><br />I will use your oven method next time I have strips of bacon to cook and render.

(You are exactly right, I have had a "pot" of it in the cabinet for YEASRS - just not always the same grease!!!) It is lard and if you notice that lard in the grocery store is not refrigerated - however, it can get rancid. I do use a pastry brush (one with natural bristles and metal - so hot grease won't melt it), but if I am greasing a cake pan or my crock pot, I use a piece of plastic wrap wrapped around my fingers. It doesn't waste as much grease as a paper towel. IF I kept mine in the refrigerator, I would put a lid on it - because of frost free refrigerators and odors!<br />Love<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
