Common questions
How long does bacon grease last in the fridge?
6 months.
Can you freeze bacon grease, and for how long?
Yes. 12 months.
How can I tell if bacon grease has gone bad?
Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
