It's a good idea to drain the grease from ground beef.If you want to remove grease from ground beef, you have to brown it first.You can drain the grease from the pan by using a strainer or spoon.If you pour hot grease down the drain, it can cause your pipes to get gunk.
Step 1: The ground beef should be cooked on a low heat.
Place the ground beef in a pan on the stove.When cooking meat, turn the heat to medium-low and cook it for 10 minutes.As you cook it, the meat should brown.The ground beef should be seasoning with salt, pepper, and other spices.
Step 2: The ground beef should be moved to the other side of the pan.
To get the meat to one side of the pan, use a fork or spoon.Grease can accumulate in one corner of the skillet if the pan is tilted towards the empty side.You may spill grease if you tilt the pan too much.
Step 3: Grease can be spooned into a spare can.

Step 4: It's better to use a turkey baster than a spoon.
Place the tip of the baster in the grease.The grease can be sucked up through the baster.It is important that hot grease does not go into the bulb of the baster.
Step 5: Absorb the grease with paper towels.
Put the paper towels in the grease.Get more paper towels if there is still grease in the pan.If you touch the metal part of the pan with your hands, you could burn yourself.The paper towels should be thrown into the trash after 1-2 minutes.
Step 6: If you put the grease in a bowl or can, you can freeze the fat.
Place the grease in the freezer after it cools down.Within 1-2 hours, the grease should solidify.If you freeze the grease in the can, you can throw it away.If you put the grease in a bowl, spoon it out.When you cook, you can use the frozen grease as a substitute for butter or lard.
