my grandmother had a small aluminum canister on her stove with a strainer on the top...she would pour the left over bacon grease thru the strainer and it would filter out the bits of bacon and the pure grease would run down in the bottom, cool and solidify...she used it for just about everything...haven't seen one of those little grease pots in years.....
Grease Keeper/Strainers are available online, and in kitchenware supply stores, most especially in the south.
