As a kid, I remember my grandma used to add it to pancake batter to make the fluffiest pancakes ever with a unique flavor. I also like to fry eggs in it but other than that, I don't use it for anything else. It seems a shame to waste it.
Anybody got any ideas?
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I use it for anything that requires some oil in the bottom of a pan. Soups, stews, browning roasts, you name it.

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Use it to brown a rue when gravy for your biscuits.
My cholesterol is way too high to use it often, but it's wonderful stuff!

I use it for EVERYTHING! It's a must to add to green beans. I prefer it in breakfast gravy over sausage grease. I use it to grease my cast iron skillet when making corn bread. Heck, you could fry a turd in bacon grease and it would taste good.
Buy once, cry once.

I've used it for about everything suggested so far, with the exception of the injection and the fried turd! I may try the injection.
Great used in box mac-n-cheese too, 50-50 butter and bacon grease, lots of black pepper.

My cholesterol is way too high to use it often, but it's wonderful stuff! I was thinking it is great for clogging arteries!

Makes great fried taters. You just can't run a decent kitchen without bacon grease.

Scrub your potatoes for baking and rub with bacon grease. You can and will want to eat the whole thing skin and all.

Put bacon grease in skillet, add rough chopped onion, thin sliced yellow squash, a little garlic and let cook down until soft. Good stuff, and better tomorrow. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

my grandmother had a small aluminum canister on her stove with a strainer on the top...she would pour the left over bacon grease thru the strainer and it would filter out the bits of bacon and the pure grease would run down in the bottom, cool and solidify...she used it for just about everything...haven't seen one of those little grease pots in years.....

Grease Keeper/Strainers are available online, and in kitchenware supply stores, most especially in the south.
