My technique
We only eat bacon about every once in a while so when we do, we do it up. This leaves us with about a cup or so of grease. The way that works best for me has been to use a tub margarine container. I pour the grease into the tub after it is safe enough to handle. If you wait too long you have to scrape it out and that's much messier. I'll use a couple of paper towels to wipe down the cast iron pan and place them in the tub and put the cap back on. I then secure that in a plastic bag like you get for veggies at the super market. I keep those bags in one of those square cardboard box containers used for tissues.
