FWIW I collect all the excess liquid from frying bacon in a frying pan (never microwave). Obviously I don't fry to a crisp. I say liquids because modern bacon has been injected/soaked with water these days.

Not only does the collected mass go into a paper bag and in the food re-cycling bin, eventually, but until it does I have an excellent "paint off hands remover". Gloss paint, heavy grease, etc etc. Which can then be dissolved with washing-up liquid (I don't have a dishwasher - I am one).
