What I like to use is cheese cloth or coffee filters in my strainer to try to make the fat as pure as possible and I pour it directly into a mason jar and then put the lid on so it seals well. Also remember to freeze it because it will last indefinitely if you do so.

You can use a lid to hold back the meat when pouring off the fat. That way you can get out as much fat as possible. Then you can let the grease coo, when it cools the tallow is formed across the top, and the liquid on the bottom can be discarded. Then you can heat the tallow.

@@gabriellewhitley1583 I would not suggest doing that, unless you intend to just store/cook with the entirety of what you strain from the ground beef, I would save seasoning your beef until after you strain it. If you are straining and purifying the tallow for use in cosmetics or body products, you would just be rendering all the seasonings out as well.

I am so upset to think of all the good fat I have thrown away over the years. Any fat I can't use now I freeze and let my dogs lick it as a treat. They love it and since they are high energy is very good for them.
