Fat from products such as duck, pork and bacon are Chef Secret. Whether its for frying eggs, pancakes or even making confit, it is crucial that you preserve the fat. They add flavor and can transform your dish. If used in moderation, they wont cause any ill health effect. While there are many different containers on the market, not all of them are created equal. Some have strainers others have handle or spout. What is important to one person might not be to another. But in my experience, the Best Bacon Grease Container is large, durable and keeps contaminants out. I have compiled a list of some of the Best Bacon Grease container out there.

Best Bacon Grease Container Design

Size

In general the larger the container the better. Grease container with small opening are difficult to pour in and you will probably make a mess. Having a larger container also lets you store more fat. You can always pour more in a large container but not a small one. Something you dont want when you accidentally make too much bacon. We recommend that you get one that has at least 2 quarts and above.

Spout

Is spout important? Its great if it worked. Unfortunately on most grease container, the spout is too small. The strainer gets in the way and it dribbles everywhere. Another thing that you should consider is that a lot of these saturated fat is solid at room temperature. You wouldn’t be able to pour it. It is much easier to scoop it with a spoon and plop it onto a pan. In my experience, these spouts are useless unless the oil is still somewhat warm.

Strainer

One of the quickest way for fat to go bad is to leave bits in them. Those piece of meat will attract bacteria and eventually mold will form. You need a strainer to catch the bacon bits so that it does not rot and ruin the fat. Besides, those pieces of meat are already cook, if you put it in the pan, you will probably just burn it.

The Best strainers are already integrated. They fit the pot perfectly and you dont have to source your own. Which in my experience never really work well.

Rust Free

Bacon Grease Container that is either made of stainless steel or painted wont rust. Some container use cheaper quality of steel and those will rust when you wash it. If that happens, you can always sand it a bit, but its best to get a better grade one.

Lids

When looking for a lid, try to find one that is easy to open. Those tight fitting one are nice, but when you are cooking, do you really want to struggle? The same is true for the strainer. Look for one that is easy to pop off. Do not get one that will cause you to fumble around.

Handle

A handle is only important if you plan on moving it around. Great if you just pour in hot grease, the container will get hot. However, if you just leave it on the stove, then you can push it aside. I personally find it gets in the way.
