the drain can have little a grease, as a treat
Okay but how? In what? For how long? Do you reuse it again? How often? Does it go bad? Where do I put the jar? Do I close it? People just say shit like “save your grease” and expect me to know what to do.
If you’re renting, maybe it’s not your problem. The landlords jack us for rent, so we mess with their drains. Meh.
Should we respect our landlords, you might ask? That depends on them. Respect is earned.
I always chug a beer/soda, open the top of the can using a can opener, and pour the grease into that.
NOTE: make sure all the liquid is out of the bottom of the can (maybe wipe it down with a towel) or else the grease may shoot back out
Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!
IF you absolutely must do this, make sure to fill the bottom of the sink with a little bit of cold standing water first. This helps to break up the grease and seal in the juices.
Are you the same people complaining about increasing food prices who are also throwing away the best part? The bacon is the byproduct. People! Save this grease and use it when another recipe calls for butter.
Ran out of butter last week and found out when I went to make a little bit of fudge. I used the bacon fat I strain and keep in a jar in the fridge. I usually don’t care for bacon tasting desserts, but I wasn’t mad about that decision at all.
If I cook a bunch of bacon, im using that bacon greased up pan to cook up a bunch of other food before i clean it. It makes everything taste so much better.
I love America
I guess they have been trained to not value valuable things so they can buy new things to serve that same purpose? I stayed with someone who threw away all the white part of his leeks because that was all just root and they once touched dirt or something.
Keep them money saved by using bacon grease for heart disease later on.
The savings go into the next pack of bacon, creating an endless bacon grease hack.
“But Dad, my heart hurts.”

I didn’t get it. Now I do. Still, use that bacon grease in place of butter. Maybe add less salt. Now you gentlemen gonna buy some wigs or ain’t ya?
Butter is already like 90% fat.
If you aren’t the kind of person who eats bacon to get that bacon fat from in the first place, feel free to ignore.
In my house, you’ll do what I do, and believe what I believe.
what was the original comic?
Original:
First meme:
First English version:
Dad owned a low rent apartment house. people would put chicken bones in the drain and then call because the drain backed up. and take bulbs out of the hallway lights. He’d laugh about it then fix the stuff because he wasn’t a good slum-lord. Probably never broke even
Our drains need to learn to evolve with our rapidly changing technology
How much grease are you guys using in america
90% of cooking uses oil. If you cook meat you end up with grease. Stop being pretentious.
Certainly not enough to put in a jar. I usually give it a wipe with a single paper towel
Have you ever cooked bacon? That’s about the only grease I’ve known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you’re cooking up a whole lot.
And where do you dump the paper towel then? The idea behind a jar is that there are facility that takes that grease and (supposedly) won’t dump it in a trash field, which is pretty much bad too.
The idea behind a jar is that you’re saving up the grease to reuse later.
What is it with Europeans shitting on Americans on the internet so much lately? If we’re being honest everything that is current day American is either directly or indirectly their fault.
The jar got stuck in my drain.
As a home owner, $360 to get my kitchen drain cleaned. No more grease down the drain.
Keep it in a mug by the sink
Every time the mug fills up, dump it into a pot of very hot water, give it a stir, pour it into a mason jar, seal it tightly, and put it in the fridge upside down.
When it’s cold, dump out the water, scrape the thin top layer of crap off, and voila, you have perfectly usable high smoke point salted lard for frying.
If you fry fresh pork belly, save that fat separately, do the same thing, and you have pure lard.
Or, alternatively, you could eat healthy.
Oh fuck off.
Cost us over $200 to get a plumber to fix the drain when my partner decided to feed an entire jar of whole pickles into the garbage disposal.
I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.
People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.
Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, “flushable” wipes, etc), half grease and fats.
If it’s a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn’t go down the drain.
so would olive oil be ok
Nope. Nothing oily that doesn’t rinse away completely with water. Most people forget butter and peanut butter, too.
Yes, Popeye will eat his spinach and rescue her.
pour maritime hydraulic oil down the drain
Finally, a solution to deal with the used 47 tons of Castrol Cyltech 40 XDC that I’ve had sitting around forever.
Says people who have never lived alone.
Like you don’t even have to be a homeowner to know not to do this! I know this is shit posting, but there ain’t no way you make it to reproductive age without figuring this one dumb thing out‽
Newer generations and less likely to own homes due to global housing markets cooling down. This is directly proportional to the inverse of fucks residents have about plumbering.
That said I wasn’t raised to know this until the internet taught me. Then I started freezing them in cans and tossing in the trash.
Will I’ll admit I was the dumb generation at some point(that point was the moment the garbage disposal stopped). He only took out a basic looking hex wrench, and shit was solved!
Sorry if I kept you up, or upset you.
Not upset just saying I consider myself intelligent and well educated but my parents never taught me this. They were renters and so was I.
We even got a clog and landlord for a plumber out. Once in 10 years.
Knew enough to waste hot water and pour boiling water down the drain to help it out.
I learned in my mid 20s to stop. People have different circumstances with their upbringing.
Yes!
This is my first time hearing of this ngl. Actually I’m not entirely sure what “grease” means, is it what is left from oil and butter after cooking meats? Meat juices? I’ve always poured it down the drain. Never even heard of anyone doing otherwise, least of all putting it in a jar.
Definitely don’t put grease or oil down the drain if it is solid at room temperature. Even oil that’s liquid at room temperature is bad for sewage systems - they combine with non-biodegradable sewage waste such as wet-wipes (Don’t flush wet wipes down the toilet. Put them in the trash.) and turn into rocks that narrow and block the sewage pipes. See wiki on Fatbergs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatberg
Lucky 10g reference, or you never had to clean up after the parents made food?
clean up after the parents
Huh? I live on my own and cook for myself and have for 10 years. My parents live in a different country and I’ve not even seen or spoke to them in like 6 years so I don’t get what you mean to imply there.
I just haven’t heard of this phenomenon before. I’ve never had any drainage issues either. Maybe in the shower due to hair, but never in the kitchen. I’ve just literally never heard of this, ever, my parents definitely never did this back in my home country, nor have I ever seen anyone do this in any of the countries I’ve been to or the one I currently live in.
I’ve lived with roommates, at boarding school, and with a partner, and not once have I seen them not pour grease down the drain either, least of all in a jar.
Doing some surface level research it seems like primarily an American thing. As long as you’re not pouring litres of pure grease down the drain it should be ok to just wash down what naturally comes off pans etc. as you wash them, especially mixed with washing up liquid. Maybe I’m just not very greasy idk.
What is “lucky 10g”?
Some people (like Ben Shapiro and his ilk) make it to adulthood not knowing how to do laundry or clean the dishes in the first place. … and they’re proud of it.
I got a comment from a few months back about my fellow cis hetiods about how it’s so strange that there is a non insignificant number that don’t even wipe their own ass!
Like I said I’m cis het, but I would sooner take a dick in the ass than deal with the fucker itching all day!
Also didn’t the found of the proof boys(Gavin something or another) take a dildo in the ass live and on air because he thought it would upset liberals? Yeah, these right winged pricks need to just embrace the fact, that they might be bi.(A day bi specifically cause they don’t sound like Lindsey Graham)
I’m pretty sure everyone who says it’s gay to wipe your own ass is trolling.
Step 1: Get chickens Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease Step 3: stir until they’ve absorbed the fat Step 4: treat the chickens Step 5: ??? Step 6: Profit!

Burn the grease in woodstove or fireplace for extra heat
