That make sense. I think my mom has one of these, well, kind of. She puts the drippings in a container and puts it in the refrigerator. The fat floats to the top and hardens. You just lift the block of fat out and vvwalla, gravy. Or stuff to make gravy. Ooohhhh. That make sense. I think my mom has one of these, well, kind of.

The separator is for collecting the drippings from making a roast/turkey/chicken. You put the juice in that gadget, the fat floats to the top, and when you pour it out it pours the fat-free juice from the top and leaves the fat in the separator. Isn't that silly? Why would you leave the fat behind? I never answered your question. The separator is for collecting the drippings from making a roast/turkey/chicken.

It will go out at least as often as the trash will, and it's no stinkier than if I just threw it in the garbage. Thanks for the knife wound though, Beth. I think I’ll be ok smell-wise.

I throw food out in my back yard and the rats eat it. "Throw it to the rats!" is what I always say when food goes bad. I do something similar.

You could run a clothes line on a pulley system from your kitchen window to your compost pile. Attach your gravy strainer and rig up a dumping mechanism once it is above the pile. You could compost any time of the day. Oh I have idea for you (actually I am just trying to get my post count up).

She died suddenly before we left on vacation and there was no time for a burial. That was a year ago. Luckilly, there is nothing else in the freezer that could be contaminated. Unluckily, because there is nothing else in there, we have forgotten to bury her for a year because we never open it. We still have a dead rat in our garage freezer.
