Who uses it? who saves it? what do you use it with? i'm a big bacon grease fan!!!

Bacon grease is like liquid gold . I use it on every kind of frying .
Not to walk on your thread but do you keep it out or in the refridg ?

Once in a blue moon. I buy already cooked bacon.

i keep it in a dish on the counter next to the cooktop always at the ready!

gotta have some.

I save it in a mason jar like my grandparents did!

Quart jar in the fridge. Use it in yellow squash, green beans, pinto beans if I don't have a hambone, stewed cabbage, anything you want to taste better.

Coffee can works fine. Try a BLT with Texas toast made with bacon grease.

They did when they were cans. Don't dump hot grease in a plastic one! Gramma used to have a small aluminum canister marked 'Bacon Grease'.

looks a lot better in a can

Yep, quart (glass) jar here too (in the fridge). Love sunny-side-up eggs (or over easy) cooked in bacon grease. Use it to flavor veggies like green beans.

Not to sound like the "Health Police" but as you get a little older you probably want to cut down on the animal fat you eat. I fry my bacon "real good" on the idea I'll fry out as much fat as possible and use crumpled up bacon on vegetables. Chopped cabbage boiled about 5 minutes with crumpled up bacon bits. I like that.
Now and then I'll do a fish fry, catfish dusted in white flour, dipped in buttermilk, rolled in cornmeal and fried in bacon fat.
BTW, the buttermilk works great on chicken fried steak- really holds the breading/corn meal.
I keep the drippings only for frying fish, they'll pick up a fish flavor so they aren't much good for anything else. I use a mesh to take out most of the fried crumbs and keep the dippings in the fringe.

Don't forget making cream gravy!!!!

Gotta have white milk gravy.

I try to save the fond more than the grease. That is an excellent flavor additive for anything that could use just a hint of baconness... which means everything lol.

My grandparent both lived to be 98 and she cooked EVERYTHING that required to be sauteed or pan fried in bacon grease..Never a heart trouble one....There is a new trend in the food world....many Chefs are using bacon grease rather than all of the oils....Most food distributors are selling bacon grease by the gallon.....

It funner making my own bacon grease!

same here! i use it for all of my beans, frying eggs, dirty rice..you cant get a better flavoring

And your boys gator!!!! Lol

lol it would prolly be good fried in bacon grease

I always save my bacon grease in a tupperware container in the fridge (after it's cooled). I use it as a flavor enhancer for a number of things, but the main reason I save it is for basting BBQ pork (feral). I put the bacon grease in a metal bowl on the fire box warmer, and baste the meat once an hour for almost the entire cook.

I think you might be on to something there skinnerback!!! I'll have to give that a try!

It's good I inject my pork, then mix brown sugar with a little of the marinade and coat the meat. After hanging out in the fridge over night it gets dusted good with seasoning/rub and goes in the smoker with an aluminum pan full of apple juice near the fire box to steam & smoke with hickory wood (225-250). After the sugar & marinade has pretty much melted off of the meat (1-2 hrs) & it starts getting color, then I start basting with bacon grease. I remove pork when it's about 3/4 of the way done and finish in a large roaster with my concoction of liquids & a few other things until the meat falls apart then shred. Makes excellent tacos & sammiches, have fun with it! I love bacon grease.

How long till it goes bad,or will it?

I keep my jar out on the counter and never had a jar go bad...It still firms up just not like the fridge....
