My parents used to keep a "bacon grease container" on the stove. It had a perforated strainer under the lid which filtered larger pieces of stuff out of the grease when it was poured into the container.
One thing the grease was used for was "wilted lettuce salad" .... good stuff and I'm sure the AMA gives it a seal of approval... :-)
i.e.:
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. ...
To the hot bacon drippings, add vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and pepper. Stir over medium heat until hot.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and green onions. Add the warm dressing and toss to evenly coat.
