The solution is obvious, but using "Oy Vey" and bacon in the same thread seems wrong. :)

I use Dawn for all my grease stains. Just put some on whenever you notice a stain, then wash it (then or later) and the stain almost always comes out!

Buy a good thick apron and roll up your sleeves. :)

A restaurant secret is to bake your bacon in the oven on baking sheets. Cover them with tin foil if you are worried your oven will get greasy. This technique also lets you cook more at once. Huge timesaver!

I bought an apron soon after going to a mostly fatty meat based diet. I also started cooking bacon in the oven to control spatter, which makes my weekend kitchen cleaning routine a much quicker affair.

I agree! That is my complaint about paleo. Everything gets so greasy. My robe, my pants, my stove and tea kettle get so greasy. I do wear an apron when I remember. Oh well.

I'll either take off my shirt while cooking, or wear an old sweat shirt dedicated to the job (with the grease stains to prove it).

Underwear and an apron... it keeps me on my toes to make sure oil doesn't splatter everywhere or burn me. My husband doesn't mind either : )

Never mind cooking---I need to wear camouflage outfits to EAT so the drips don't show!

Yes, as AshleyRoz said, long sleeves just won't work.

As long as my forearms are bare I manage to cook without an apron--I'm all about slow-cooking and slow-frying.

However, eating lots of salads with oil and vinegar, fatty meat and bone broth stew I wrecked quite a few t-shirts (or, more accurately, wrecked them for social occasions since I'm WAY too cheap to throw anything away I can still wear) before finally admitting that I need a full-sized bath towel from chin to knees to protect my clothing.

I eat with spoons and forks but it's a messy, messy business.

I agree with the apron rec and the Dawn dishwashing liquid for the grease stains. I am on a continuous search for something more natural but so far it's the best I've found.

All the turmenic and coconut fat is making me and my clothes yellow. Perhaps i should change my cloth colour palette more to indian colours ;)

I cook my bacon in a stainless steel pan at very low temperatures. I don't let it get crispy, so some of the fat just melts into oil, then, I pull out the rashers and crack open eggs on the oil. Win, win, no splatter, no mess. Crispy=AGEs, PAHs, not good eats.

Temperature control and time are your friends.

Zout for getting stains out.

My husband is much larger than I am. When his dress shirts are no longer work-appropriate, I wear them over my clothes to cook (roll up sleeves or just take scissors to them). They hang to my mid thigh. I also have lab coats or you can buy one for much cheaper than most chef's coats (and they come longer) at any uniform store. In the winter, the kitchen is COLD. I have a crap hoodie that gets put on over any clothing.

Every time I forget to put my apron on, I spill or splash something on myself. The trick is to remember to put the apron on! It's plasticized fabric, so I just have to wipe it down. Awesome!

It's the best thing I've found to remove grease spots from clothes, no matter how big or dark. You do need to follow the instructions and let it sit for a few minutes and use extra soap, but I've saved every shirt I own using this stuff.

Just let the bacon grease splatter on your face. It does wonders for one's complexion!

This was the bane of my existence for the first year or so of cooking more and being paleo. It took ridiculously long to put two and two together and realize how I'd ended up with at least one grease stain on every shirt. It also made me doubt my grasp of the world around me when I reinvented the apron using a backwards shirt before remembering "oh yeah....aprons. I get it now."

I've had luck with Oxyclean, although I'm not sure what crap ingredients are in it and I hear Billy Mays' voice in my head when I use it.

Splatter guard and healthcare scrub tops. Cute patterns, big pockets, and everything seems to wash out of them.

You might want to turn the burner down a bit and cook your food more gently. Get a high quality digital thermometer (ie Thermapen, worth every penny) and learn to enjoy cooking things more low and slow. You will get more out of your food by not overheating it. This is very especially true with bacon, slowly cook some bacon with butter. It's amazing (takes an hour, but doesn't require any fiddling).

I think this is a much more traditional way to cook, as out ancestors certainly kept and reused fats over and over and would hate to burn them.

Just discover a new very effective stain remover- Carbona. It's specifically for grease, German made. Costs $2.12, in a small yellow bottle at (avert your eyes) Walmart.

My co-workers always smile as they see me eating my messy paleo chow at lunch:

BTW, that's not a picture of me: rather, a professional model!

The day after I started wearing it, I splattered a huge bit of fatty bone broth on it (sparing my shirt!!!)

i cook nearly everything in the crock pot; the 13 hour shifts at work are great for slow cooking meals.

Dry clean any garment with grease stains you can't get out at home.

The perc used in dry cleaning cuts grease like nobody's business (we used to even clean the grease off machine parts with perc). The additives for home use with a washing machine doesn't come anywhere near perc in it's ability to remove grease stains.

Dry cleaners also have other chemicals they can apply and blow the stain through the garment with a steam gun.

(Grew up in the dry cleaning business).

I ALWAYS cook my bacon in the oven! It's amazing, flavourful and comes out picture-perfect...and no splatter! 350 degrees for 10-15 mins (depending on how crispy you like it) Plus, you just put it on a baking sheet (with edges) and can worry about fixing your eggs, veggies, etc while it's in there. No need to flip or anything. Try it!

So I got these free tattoos... at um... my kitchen. They all look like droplets.

Yeah fine, I'll wear an apron and get a splatter guard.

Yeah, I've had to throw some shirts away. Luckily they weren't expensive.
