Another ? about being paper towel free

pinktulips

I almost had us broke of the paper towel habit but dh is all about lining a plate with paper towels to drain/absorb the grease off of the bacon and sausage.

Any tips on how to do this paper towel free?

I'd like to know too.  I've used paper grocery bags but thats not much bettter.  I've also tried old cloth napkins a few times, and just could never get the grease out.  I had to throw them away.

When we ate meat we did use PT for this.  We couldn't find anything else that worked.  But you probably don't need several of them.  Buy "select a size" PT and use just one or two segments rather than 1-2 sheets.  At least that's something.  And buy recycled PT.

We also cook our bacon in the oven.

I need help with this too. Fried chicken and fish NEED to rest on something that absorbs the fat! I love the bacon idea and will be doing this from now on.

Do the above rack and cookie sheet thing, but for fish and chicken, turn the rack upside down, line the cookie sheet with newspaper, place the rack directly on top of the newspaper and allow the fish and the chicken to drain that way.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! We've just been dealing with having nightmares at night thanks to all that undigested grease! lol. I really can't tell you how much of a help this is! I really really really appreciate this.
