The significance of this invention is to provide an upgraded container for reusable cooking grease. The product comprises components constructed of heat resistance material to effectively store, refrigerate and reheat cooking oil without deforming shape or dimension. There is a flip latch used to scoop grease drippings back into the container and to cover the pouring holes. Beneath the holes is a drip catcher used to catch dripping grease after pouring. An indicator shows level of contents at all times. At the top rim of the container is the strainer secured in place to prevent anything other than grease from flowing back in the container.
