This is probably bad but I don’t strain it I just leave it in the pan and then add some veggies and toss them around and put them in the oven.
Oven roasted carrots, squash, or Brussel sprouts with a coating of bacon fat are heavenly!
Lest you all worry about my arteries I don’t eat bacon every day!

Once upon a time we had a complete set of antique counter canisters. Flour, sugar, meal, "Grease", and smaller matching salt and pepper shakers. All acquired in 1974 and an auction at a house we were getting ready to inhabit. No after a few places including a few states none are to be seen. They seem to have grew legs and walked off. My grandmother had a set and most every respectable southern head of kitchen has a set.

Here in the north, our canisters are flour, sugar, coffee and tea. The lard was in a seperate container. We never saved bacon grease

I have my grandmother’s container for flour but it is way bigger than I need for flour so I keep other things in it.

Mom's were copper as I recall. Flour, sugar, coffee, tea and the one on the stove for old and rancid bacon grease she used for cooking everything and the reason we all had constant gut-aches. Salt and pepper, too. She'd bury green avocadoes in the flour to help them ripen. Supposedly.

My mother kept grease in an old coffee can under the sink. They had plastic lids back then.

No one in our family ever used rancid bacon grease. That was never something there was enough of to go rancid.
