      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.

            You need to stop doing that yesterday. That’s literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn’t difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.

          Oh true, bacon grease does get used. Either in the same dish or you throw some toast in that pan the next day. But OP seems to be talking about a jar to throw out.

            Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don’t throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it’s like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.

        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.

      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.

        Its fine to remind the self centered that the world doesn’t revolve around them.

          I live in and visited multiple countries in Europe. You’re all just as arrogant. The only exception is eastern Europe but they’re just racist/homophobic

        You mean, just f.e. that they never switched to metric system although they promised. This gotta be europes fault. Definitely. Americans are simply not responsible for their actions the last 300 yrs or so. It gotta be europeans.
