Bacon Grease!

I love it. I love to cook with it.  When I mention that I cook with bacon grease, I get reactions between brow raises and “eeeewww”s, but hear me out.

Everything tastes better with bacon.

Seriously.  I’m not saying replace your butter with bacon, but sometimes?  Replace your butter with bacon.  Or at least half of it.  Consider, if you will, pan fries or hash browns.  What do you cook ‘em in?  Butter?  Oil?  Try bacon grease.  Now your pan fries/hash browns are 100% more awesome.

  • Cooking onions?  Bacon grease.
  • Making apple sauce to pour over your pork chops or your (non-kosher) potato pancakes?  Bacon grease.
  • Mashed potatoes?
  • Noodle dish that needs a little more oomph?
  • Roasted veggies? Green beans?
  • Corn Muffins?
  • Bread crumb topping?
  • Beschamel/White sauce?

Sing it if you know the words.

Here’s some stats according to LoseIt.com, my calorie/exercise counter website. Each of these is one tablespoon measurements.

Bacon grease: 116cal

Granted, this website doesn’t track Mono- Poly- and Un-saturated fats, but you get the idea.  I’m not telling anybody to take the butter and oil out of your diets and replace it with bacon fat.  I’m just saying to be a little more open-minded to the deliciousness that can happen in your mouth.  Besides, you bought that bacon.  It comes with free fat.  Why are you throwing it away?  Don’t be wasteful; be more delicious.

The temptation when making a cup of instant is to pour the boiling water immediately over that spoonful of granules in the cup. This, however, releases many of the aromatic oils. Indeed, the manufacture of instant coffee strips out most of the oils, some of which are captured and added back into the granules later - but not all of them, hence the superiority of an espresso. The secret, therefore, is not to pour the boiling water immediately but rather to pour a small amount of warm water first - just enough to dissolve the coffee. Stir it a bit so that the granules have fully dissolved. If you take milk in your coffee this is also the time to add the milk. Then you can pour that boiling water into your cup. Try it. It really does taste better!

Extreme Leftovers: 10 Crazy Ways to Eat Well the Day After Thanksgiving

PS: I find none of this “crazy” or “extreme.”  I do, however, call it a lot of good ideas.

Thirteen Uses For Bacon Grease

Growing up, I was always told to never, ever, rinse or scrape greasy skillets and pans into the sink and down the drain — you’ll clog the pipes! You’re to scrape them clean first and then rinse them with hot-hot water to make sure to avoid clogs.

But as many a good (and economical) cook knows, you don’t scrape that bacon grease into the garbage can either; you save it for some savory cookin’.

First the ‘how’ and then the cooking ideas.

How:

When done frying the bacon, take the skillet off the heat & wait for it to cool — really cool. Hot grease splatters are no fun at all.

When you are certain the grease is room temperature (it’s hardened), scoop into a glass container, a coffee can, or plastic container. (And yes, scrape that skillet — those bits of bacon in the grease are ‘gold’ as far as flavor goes!) Then cover the container and place in the fridge.

It may not look like much in the container at first (either in terms of amount or appeal), but eventually it not only adds up, but adds a nice flavor to foods.

Note: when using bacon grease do not add any additional salt while cooking or baking.

Now here’s 13 ways to use that bacon grease.
