Who Saves Bacon Grease?

Yes, it's very good on green beans. Also on baked potatoes, instead of butter.

it's the best cutting oil there is for use at the drill press, i keep a can of bacon grease with a small brush there, it dosen't melt away when the drill is hot like commercial oil does.

We don't use a whole lot of bacon, certainly less than some years ago. We head towards smoked picnic, which has more meat to the amount of fat. I usually parboil those. Most bacons are very high in salt, so so are the drippings. Not so good for people, pets, birds. Bacon grease isn't a good choice for soap. Too soft... and the salt. I sometimes compost fats by burying in the compost pile, though I know that could draw critters, or add to the burn barrel. Sue

I prefer bacon fat for cooking. In fact, occasionally I buy a 10-lb box of bacon scraps to cook down to get the grease as much as the bacon. (The bacon goes into the freezer. As I want some it is easy to toss in the skillet with eggs being cooked.)

Don't know if it was mentioned, but put into a container and cooled it can be put out for birds.
