Before you use this grease container thoroughly hand wash in detergent, hot water, and rinse with boiling hot water to get the black oily dirty smut from China off the inside and outside. After a thorough wash and dry I wiped it off inside and out with isopropyl alcohol and a tiny bit of residue. So I boiled it in hot water and dried it which should be good. Please clean thoroughly Thank you.So the great part.When you are done frying your bacon pour your grease in this container. Save that grease and use it again. I keep my bacon grease refrigerated and when I get enough I use it instead of lard for delicious peanut butter cookies. Use it for frying eggs or for cheese grilled sandwiches. Fried potatoes or a little to grease a pan for pancakes to baking. I would recommend 2 or 3 of these if you fry a lot that way you can separate the greases from different meats for different uses. A person can use the grease they save for many uses. During WWII grease was saved to make glycerine for the war effort. This is plenty heavy duty and I love it.I will update with a cookie recipe and pictures.Stay tuned.
