Hell nah, jar. Next time you pan fry something, use the bacon grease to take it to a whole nother level.
It's also tasty as an ingredient in pasta sauces, stews, and soups. I use a bit when I make gumbo.
Man… I tried using all bacon grease as my fat when I made the roux…. That was a tough gumbo to get through. But canola with a bit of bacon grease is right. If you can find it, 1-2-3 oil in place of the canola is the tits.
My brain interpreted that as 3-in-1 oil for a brief second, in which I thought you were really out here trying to murder some folks.
Not positive, but I think it’s a blend of canola, vegetable, and safflower oil. Whatever it is, it’s mild enough and mostly neutral to give the right flavor.
3-in-1 oil would be… unpleasant…
I pan fry stuff all the time, but usually use Canola oil. What am I gonna do to my arteries if I start using bacon grease instead?
I use bacon grease and beef tallow for almost all of my frying. The only side effect I've had is that I no longer bleed when getting shot because my arteries have become bulletproof. It's like a superpower.
Agreed. When I'm cooking with bacon I'll save the grease and use it if that singular meal requires any additional pan frying, otherwise I toss it cause I don't need to be ingesting all that grease on the regular
If you have the bacon grease already it's very nice. I use a small strainer and pour the grease into a little mason jar and then use the grease for all sorts of cooking. There's no advantage to it, but it's giving the grease a second use, which is useful.
I respect the concern, but if you already ate the bacon that left you with the fat, hasn't a fair amount of the damage already been done?
Seriously, that stuff is delicious! Don't throw it out.
Add it to cornbread, use it to fry vegetables, put it on popcorn, use it to season your cast iron... The list goes on and on. And it keeps almost indefinitely in the fridge thanks to all the salt. There is almost no reason I can think of to throw out bacon grease unless you eat so much bacon that you can't possibly keep up with the grease or you don't have a refrigerator.
