TIPS: Excess Grease

To rid your homemade sauces and soups of unhealthy excess grease that pools on top;fold a paper towel into a small square. Place the towel into the center of the pool, and watch it absorb the grease. When towel is saturated, remove it with cooking tongs, and discard it into an empty can you may have used for your sauce. Be careful about discarding hot materials into a plastic lined trash can.
If the plastic melts you will have a mess on your hands.
