Fat Trapper Set with TWELVE Bags by Range Kleen
Still rinsing out pickle jars for cooking oil disposal? Retire the whole coffee-can routine - this grease disposal container finally settles the question of where to put bacon grease!
You know the moment. Bacon's done, the skillet is still hot, and you're scanning the counter for a vessel. An old soup can. A jar you rinsed out. That mug you're definitely going to regret! Every one of those is a temporary fix you get to solve all over again next Saturday.
The Fat Trapper ends the scavenger hunt. A sturdy black canister holds a foil-lined bag, you pour, you drop the lid on, and the smell stays put. And when the bag is full? Fold the top, lock the tabs, and it goes straight in the trash. Nothing to scrub, nothing hiding in the back of your fridge, and nothing going down your drain.
Twelve grease disposal bags in the box... and not one dish to wash!
- Each bag holds 22 ounces - that's 2.75 cups, or about what a couple of pounds of bacon gives up. Let's be straight with you: this is a countertop canister, not a bucket. Think "Saturday morning breakfast" and "draining the ground beef," not "emptying the turkey fryer."
- POUR IT WARM - the bags handle liquid up to 200 degrees F, which means you pour while the grease is still pourable. Wait until it's stone cold and you're chiseling a puck of congealed fat out of the skillet instead, and that's the whole reason people give up on grease containers.
- Fold it, lock it, toss it - the bag top folds over and locks with tabs on the sides. One thing worth knowing: fill only to the line printed on the bag. Overfill it and the fold-top won't seat right, which is the difference between a clean toss and a sad one.
- The lid traps odors inside, which is the whole reason this can live out by the stove instead of being exiled under the sink. (Though it fits fine under there too!)
- No strainer - and that's on purpose. This is a pour-it-and-pitch-it system, not a save-it-for-cornbread jar. Are you the type who cooks WITH your bacon fat? Then you want a strainer canister instead, and there's a link at the bottom of this page for you.
- NOTHING TO CLEAN. The bag catches everything and leaves with everything, so the canister itself stays clean. No crusty strainer, no rancid tin sitting on the back of the stove for a year. (We've all seen one.)
- Oh, and it's made close to home - the container is made in the USA from recycled plastic, and it's recyclable when it finally wears out. Built by Range Kleen over in Lima, Ohio!
- RV owners and septic owners, this one's for you - grease and a septic tank get along about as well as oil and, well, water. A sealed bag in the trash keeps FOG (fats, oils, and grease) out of your tank, your drain field, and your city's sewer main.
Yes, it fits under the sink. No, you'll never hunt for a jar again!
So where's it going to live? The canister stands about 8.5 inches tall on a footprint smaller than a cereal bowl, so it tucks into a cabinet, slides under the sink, or just stays put next to the range. Twelve bags gets most kitchens through a long stretch, and refill bags come in packs of 10 and 20 when you run low. Buy the canister once; after that it's just bags.
Range Kleen has been making unglamorous kitchen stuff extremely well since 1971.
They started with six drip bowls in Lima, Ohio, and grew into the company most people have quietly owned a piece of without ever knowing the name. That's exactly the kind of maker we like at Kooi Housewares: no reinventing, no rebranding, just one boring problem solved properly and then on to the next one. We've had the Fat Trapper on our shelves since 2019, and it's still the thing we hand people who tell us they've been pouring it into a can. Questions about which size you need?
