How To Properly Store Leftover Bacon Grease So It Stays Fresh
BY AUSTIN HAVENS-BOWEN
To reap the full benefits of bacon grease, it's crucial to store it properly, which starts with refrigerating it at 40 degrees F or lower. It can turn rancid at room temperature.
Additionally, store it in an airtight glass or metal container in the fridge, otherwise you risk exposure to the fridge's cold air, which may lead to moisture and mold growth.
Stored this way, it should last for around three months. If you don't think you'll use bacon fat in that time frame, you can also store it in the freezer for up to a year.
