When cooking ground beef or other meats that you will need to drain. I scoot the meats, when done, to one side of the skillet then angle the skillet half on and half off the burner to allow the grease and drippings to pool on the other side while I do other things. I either scoop out the meats with a spatula or, if needing to add other ingredients into the skillet with the meats, use a turkey baster to draw out the unwanted grease.
