How long does bacon grease stay good in the refrigerator? I am using it for some cooking and just want to know how long I can keep some around.

It actually doesn't require refridgeration at all. its comletely shelf stable, like butter.

it will last until the end of time...well not really but pretty damn long.

I can reuse bacon grease??? I thought it becomes toxic right away. Wow!... This is really exciting to me, because I love the taste!!!

You need to strain it (the leftover meat bits will cause it to go rancid). I have leaf lard (rendered pork fat) in my fridge that is almost 2 years old and it is still just as good as new. In the fridge, it's fairly indefinite. My grandmother kept it in what we know today as a butter bell. In the summer, it did go rancid when it got hot and melted, but at cooler temps... yeah, indefinitely.
