Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You can't have a proper southern kitchen without a big container of rendered fat somewhere on the counter. It's the law, look it up. I had been using, I kid you not, a coffee mug and a tea strainer to store my fat. This was perhaps a little TOO southern, and led to a number of near-misses where I nearly took a drink from the wrong mug. Also a lot of pointed questions about just WHAT is that on the tea strainer. So I ordered this instead. What you see is pretty much what you get - a big ceramic pot with a lid, and a strainer that sits on top of the pot. All put together, it looks nice and unassuming, and doesn't say GREASE on the side in large letters so there's no awkward explaining to your non-local friends just what that is on your counter and why. So that's nice - one item that stores your cooking fat and protects you from judgment. That's a win in my book.
