Now, where does the jar live? Counter or fridge? This is the civil war of home cooking. Some keep it on the counter for a week. I am too scared of bacteria for that. It feels like a science experiment I didn’t sign up for.
I keep mine in the fridge. It turns into a solid, cloudy fat—like butter’s tough older sibling. When you need it, just scoop a spoonful into a cold pan. It melts faster than your willpower on a Friday night.
Pro tip: Label the jar: “Liquid Bacon Hugs.” Or just “Bacon Grease.” But the first one makes you smile every time you open the fridge. It’s the little things.
