Used to throw my butter wrapper away before I learned this trick

I used to toss my butter wrapper in the trash until last Thanksgiving when my aunt grabbed it out and greased the whole loaf pan with it, now I save every wrapper for quick greasing jobs and it saves me a ton of time and mess, anyone else got a baking shortcut they discovered way later than they should have?

Saw my friend do this with bacon grease once and it changed how I cook everything now.

Have you ever tried freezing it in an ice cube tray? I read somewhere that you can pop out a cube of bacon grease and toss it in when you're roasting potatoes or veggies, gives them a smoky flavor without using too much. It sounds like a smart way to not waste it, since grease can go bad if left out too long.

Tossing a frozen cube right into the pan is genius, makes the whole process a no-brainer.
