Bacon Drippings Storage

Bacon drippings offer a lot of flavor and can be used to sauté vegetables, fry eggs, or roast potatoes. Test Kitchen Professional Angela Sellers offers this tip for freezing leftover grease and keeping it on hand.

Step 1: Save bacon drippings by pouring it through a fine strainer directly into an ice cube tray. Freeze.

Step 2: Once they’re frozen, remove the cubes of bacon drippings and place them in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Store in the freezer, and use the cubes whenever you need a flavor boost.
