Saving bacon grease

BTW, My cholesterol is normal and better than my average weight buddies whose diets are full of those synthetic foods and additives.

Amen, Brother! :thumbsup:

We save all our bacon grease. Got that grease can on the counter and use the stuff for everything. Frying eggs, cooking potato's, drizzling on green beans, YUMM!!! Sadly, we use it faster than we make it!!

We also render lard too, and use that for making biscuit's, frying, etc.

What time is supper or breakfast?.....I don't want to be late.... :wink:

Whenever you get here!

So I just found out saving bacon grease for later uses is rather popular and I have been missing out for years.

So how many of you fine folks save it and how do you use it in recipes and/or cooking?

Just Bacon Grease? I also save the fat from the Italian sausages that I boil, and the fat from sausages that I fry. Better than lard or shortening in the biscuit batter.

IF you're going to do it in camp, a tin is of course the best thing to use, with a lid, AND don't forget to hang it high in a tree with a bear-bag when you're done as other critters like bacon too. :shocked2:
