Bacon grease ?

[Chuck Bao]

Yep, I largely use it to make dough for dumplings, biscuits or fry batter.

But, why do you keep it in your fridge?

[Ike]

Nope. Then again, we rarely make bacon.

I realise that some folks have health probs ,or other reasons fer Not eating bacon. Those folks can be Honarary Grease savin hillbillies .

[Harry Beanbag]

We keep it in a coffee can in the freezer. We don't ever use it to cook or anything, it's just easier and cleaner to dispose of that way.

I also like it on fresh lettuce

[soonerinabilene]

I like to mix it with my shampoo, that way i smell delicious all day long.

[soonerinabilene]

Actually, using bacon grease to fry your egg or toasting your bread in it is AWESOME. Your heart kind of tenses up with every bite, but it is soooo worth it.

[SoonerProphet]

I usually put a spoon full or two in my green beans, then cook those sumbitches for hours.

My mom does that. Cooks a few pieces of bacon, all crumbled up and when it's done just pours everything over a big salad. Mostly just lettuce and maters. Maybe some onions.

Limp lettuce salad, I've heard it called.

HILLBILLIES!!!

All my life growing up my mom kept a cast iron skillet full of bacon grease in the cabinet under the stove. She'd just pull it out, heat it up until the grease melted, and drop whatever meat she had in the grease to cook. When she was done, she'd let it cool and then stick it back under the stove.

Also, I was raised on a lot of grits. Mom's grits were always so good, and when I go home she makes them for me. Anyhow, when I went in the Army, I remember seeing grits on the chow line. I got some, and when I ate them I couldn't understand why they were so nasty. No flavor at all. I tried salt/pepper/butter and it helped, but they weren't anything like mom's. I also noticed they were very white in color.

So, I go home on leave and ask mom to cook me some grits. I watched her making them and the first thing she did was unroll a whole stick of butter into them, about half a Morton's thing of salt, about half a shaker of pepper, and just before she served them she poured a buttload of hot bacon grease with some cracklins in it all over the grits making them a kind of brown color. I mixed up a half-dozen over easy eggs in that mess and got busy with it. Good stuff.

There are people who don't save grease?

Thanks, vet. Back in my bacon eatin days, I kept it in a coffee can under the cooktop. Hell, there might still be some there.

[Mixer!]
