5/15 What's the best way to deal with the fat you get from cooking
bacon? Do you dump them into the sink or toilet? Or do you use
them for cooking?
\_ Put a wick in it and burn it for a bacon-scent candle.
\_ I generally put it in a container I'm throwing away anyway.
\_ same here, I let it solidify first. Although recently
I saw a friend fry up a single piece of bacon and then
use the grease to fry up some pork tenderloins. Tasted
Great. Mmm, pork fat.
\_ I pour it into a jar and toss it in the fridge and use it to cook
cornbread, green beans, zucchini.. all manner of things. Mmm. bacon
grease. I don't have bacon that often so it works out. Otherwise,
yes, jar and toss. --dbushong
\- you cook hashbrowns and/or eggs in the fat. i have also been
known to fry cheese in bacon fat, but that is quite advanced.
It was the Right Thing to do. We had no Choice.
We are, after all, Bacon Professionals. --dr gonzo.
\_ Sautee greens seconded. High heat and very fast.
\- for greens i recommend: cook berkeley bowl linguica along
with berkeley bowl collard greens or mustard greens. oktnx.
\_ It's all about the salt pork and kale.
\_ If you keep dumping bacon grease down your pipes, they will
eventually become clogged.
\_ I remember in Hawaii all the buses had billboards were
trying to raise grease awareness. |
