Why use a colander at all if you don't intend to pour the fat anywhere? Also, from my experience with this method, I'd say the meat's going to stick to the paper towel and all that paper's not very environmentally friendly.... But if you wanted to use this method I'd suggest putting the towel under the colander so it can soak up the fat without touching the meat.

Maybe the difference in perceived best approach comes from quantities involved. I'm cooking for 5 -that's a whole load of fat to soak up.....

It's OK to pour fat down your waste disposer.
