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.....
OMG, I haven't seen one like those in years. I remember them very well. My Grandma, aunts, and my Mom always had one by the stove. My Mom's was a staple in our house for decades. The handle broke off and she still continued to use it for years.
