When frying up a batch of bacon, do not pour the excess grease into an empty yogurt container. The plastic will melt immediately and you'll end up with a big puddle of liquid fat creeping slowly toward the hot burner…

Let’s see:
Extremely hot grease + Really thin plastic = What could go wrong?
Do the math, Einstein.
First?
The title got me.
Same thing happened to me when I tried to smelt tin with a toilet paper roll as a crucible. Stuff just isn’t made as well as it used to be.
Reminds me of that time I tried to put out a house fire by smothering it in notebook paper.
Or the time I tried to fix a broken leg with a band-aid.
The fail here was not planning on saving the grease to cook with later. Glass jars work well.
Maybe OP was going to save it, but didn’t realize that plastic melts easily…
This is exactly what I was thinking. My grandmother used to use a stainless steel bowl. Baby food jars work well, too.
I think that’s the nicest way of calling somebody a freaking ldiot I’ve ever seen.
I’ve done this before too. In the rush it’s easy to forget the basics!
Yogurt containers get soft in the *general vicinity* of heat… And to catch the grease, baking soda. Soaks it up, then can wipe it up with rags or a (damp) paper towel.
Yeah, I only had to do that once to learn…. when you suddenly realize you didn’t prepare a grease container, it’s amazing how many thin plastic containers you find yourself surrounded with
Or is it just me?
Not just you. I didn’t think it would work so I did a test pour of a little bit first. No problem as it cooked off the bit of water still at the bottom of the container.
That’s when the trouble started…
They must be using a different yogurt container then I do, I put all of my excess bacon fat into a used yogurt container then throw it out when it gets too full.
