Bacon grease is a staple commodity in my kitchen.

Try cooking sliced hog jowl. That is great grease drippings.

Re: Who else saves bacon grease?
My grandparents and parents saved bacon grease for the war effort, it's time restart that quaint American tradition.

Advertised through public service announcements, the United Bacon Scouts of America could collect grease door to door for the war effort.

Ladies would be advised to keep their fat cans by the back door.

Re: Who else saves bacon grease?
I add it to my dog's homemade food. Studies are showing a diet high in fat helps cure cancer in dogs. My dog had a cancerous tumor on his paw. It didn't metastasize, so I'm hopeful we got it all. Bacon grease is also good for dogs with kidney disease.
 Quoting: Wildthing3


Thats some good info right there. My dogs are getting older, and they love bacon. Gonna try this.Thx!
 Quoting: Spritzer


older dogs more susceptible to pancreatitis, so not too much. They also soak dry dog food in restaurant grease so they will eat it, Purina is the worst
 Quoting: Furrry Pete


Thanks for this. Im feeding my little buggers Royal canin, and at night with chicken breast cooked in coconut oil.

Re: Who else saves bacon grease?
Here's the problem with saving bacon grease

it all depends on what you mean by "bacon"

if you bought a plastic package of 'sliced bacon' saturated with nitrites, nitrates salt and sugar - that is NOT "bacon" and the fat is NOT worth saving.

if you went to a butcher shop and either bought a fresh slab of pork belly or had the butcher slice it for you
THAT IS BACON

the difference is monumental and fundamental

by all means save the fat from real bacon
use it for anything instead of any oil or butter or any other fat when high temperatures are used

you can even cube it into small cubes and render all the fat out it purposefully as well as add different herbs or spices to make it more exciting
 Quoting: Le Comte de Saint Germain


Bacon from the butcher doesn't cook as good as the ones in plastic. Its not salty or crispy enough. (for me)
Gonna try and give butcher a go again, for stated reasons above. A good reminder that was.
 Quoting: Spritzer


oh, of course it doesn't because you're trying to do it too quickly.
you probably watch youtube videos on 2x speed too?
throw away the teflon coated aluminum pan
throw away the microwave

do it slowly like your grandma used to in a heavy pan
with love

the fat needs to render out gradually and slowly without burning
the remaining part will be crispy
use coarse kosher or sea salt instead the chemical made iodized salt

you have allowed your expectations to shift to unreasonable
 Quoting: Le Comte de Saint Germain


Yup! I only have a electric range but I cook mine in cast iron on '2' for a long time. And just keep flipping now and then...Not that it needs to be flipped more then once really...but simply because I like putting love and care into my bacon!

Our local butcher does double smoked bacon. Thick sliced, from pasture raised pork. I don't eat anything out of plastic for the most part.
 Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC


Going to the butcher/market this weekend. Its hard for me to see these places. Yes, I eat meat, but looking at animals heads and the way things are done down here, makes me want to cry.

Have you never had a spinach salad dressing made with bacon grease, sugar, and dry mustard?

It's outta this world yummy!

Harhar, I just skipped over everything that followed your post to post this. Perhaps someone else said something about spinach salad, and bacon grease and sugar.

I do most definitely save my bacon grease. Heh, I was raised to save bacon grease. I most often these days use it to flavor my greens (collards, kale, mustard, etc.) with while cooking them.

Of course...but I have a head cold and I'm miserable, so I'm not sure that it's going to be today.

You can search Warm Spinach Salad or Wilted Spinach Salad if you don't want to wait for my head to be good to go....just look for a recipe that the dressing has bacon grease, vinegar, and dry mustard. I just tried to look for one like that, but couldn't find it in enough time. I've got to shower and go to work.

It's to die for delicious!.....hf

You can actually freeze it in ice cube containers and then store them in the freezer in storage container and take out as needed

It’s a great spaghetti sauce starter. Some people put sugar in their sauce to get rid of the acidic taste. Pork fat and letting the sauce sit overnight and heat back up the next day takes care of it.

Re: Who else saves bacon grease?
They made animal fat "evil" and a "Killer" so that you have to run out and buy their Rapeseed oil lie called 'Vegetable Oil"

Everyone should save their animal fat and use it.

High cholesterol and Heart Disease are genetic disorders and are not the result of any reasonable diet.

I mean just sit back and think...

Fast food removed all animal fats from frying in the last 20 years.

All of the sudden, heart disease and Arterial Sclerosis suddenly start to skyrocket, along with Type 2 Diabetes.

Add to that people are getting off the Tobacco, too, so all of the heart problems that was "causing" are now on the rise with less people smoking.

Go back 50-60 years: Less cancer, Less Heart Disease, Less Diabetes, Less everything, really.

Modern attempts to make things "Healthy" are clearly toxic.

It could be something as simple as this: The less your body has to fight what you're putting in it, the less your body is able to fight.

So it's not that smoking or fat is good for us, directly, but it may have been making us stronger.

Hmmm.
 Quoting: The_Meridian

I think now it’s bad fat that the animals have. We used to eat grass fed, now it’s horrible conditions that the animals are raised in.

Go back to all grass fed beef, pasture raised chickens etc.
