Do you use leftover bacon fat

Honestly I may if I knew how to store it properly. But since I don't store it the most I do then is fry eggs in the same pan that I made bacon in with some of the fat removed in the same day. In the olden days people used that as on of their main cooking fats before alot of the seasonings and oils we have now were available.

Yes!! Admittedly this is a guilty pleasure. In a world of low fat, low carb diets it isn't as popular as it was in my grandmother's day. I just tell myself, "everything in moderation." If your going to save rendered bacon fat select good bacon. Thick cut Applewood smoked, or maple smoked works nicely. It's great on many kinds of vegetables(especially greens), beans, and anything other application where you may want to impart a delicate, porky, smokey flavor. I also keep the occasional ham bone in the freezer. A lot of people would throw away, but it's a great way to punch up my garden fresh vegetable soup. Another great fat to have is rendered from duck. Experiment a bit and keep on cooking. Good Luck!

No I don't. I have a can I put it in. When it cools off I throw it away.

Hi. gtdonna. I don't save the bacon fat. I will just toss it down the drain or in the trash can. I try to cook with bacon that has less fat in it. I don't like bacon that has so much of grease in it.

I do & i'm sure it's not good for u but nothing seasons veggies like it does.

I am from Kentucky, and I don't really think I know very many people who don't save the bacon grease and reuse it. I love to fry potatoes in it. I don't know if fried potatoes are a regional thing, but they are sort of like home fries. You put a little grease in a pan, cut the potatoes into small cubes and fry them. They are good with biscuits and gravy for breakfast...YUMMY!

We don’t have bacon all that often but when we do I do not use the fat for anything. It is interesting to learn that vegetables can be cooked with it and they can be quite tasty; it is something that may be worth trying because veggies that have just been steamed may be very healthy although a little boring so as a treat every now and again bacon fat can be used for cooking. It sounds rather nice and well worth the try! I have bacon on my shopping list now!
