Line the strainer with a single layer of paper towel. This will filter out the sediment and
allow just the liquid fat to drip through.
From your pot or roasting pan, pour the fat, cracklin’s and all, into the lined strainer. Press
on the cracklin’s with a serving spoon to press as much fat out of them as possible.
When you’ve gotten all the fat you can, remove the strainer, and set the container aside
to cool. You can sprinkle the cracklin’s with a bit of salt and pepper and enjoy them as a
snack, set them aside to cool for dog treats, or discard as you wish.
