So I've got nearly a QT of bacon grease now, after starting to save it all a while back. I use it when I need to saute veggies or anything else, but I guess I need some more recipes or things to use it for, as I'm not using it as fast as I'm collecting... Whatcha'll use it for? TIA

Diced potato's...any potato dish gets golden brown and crisp twice as fast...crisp up well and salty flavor when brushed on baked potato skins, Hasselbeck potatos crisp up twice as good...green beans stir fried to a medium rare in BG add a whole new dimension. There are as many shrimp scampi recipes as shrimp, mine is plain jane onions, garlic sauteed in BG, add shrimp when onions are translucent, toss briskly...at about 60 seconds shrimp are just starting to pink up...boom, in goes the sherry, as soon as the shrimp is uniformly pink, not 1 second longer, pull it off the heat and dust generously with "Cajuns Choice, Creole Seasoning". I'm no food chemist, and I thought the guys on here were exaggerating on how unhealthy seed oils are for you when heated...that schidt is evil. Tufts Univ is maybe the leading nutrition college we have...one of the articles I read, compares overheated seed oils to petroleum and plastics structural formula diagrams.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Had chopped cabbage sautéed in bacon grease night before last. A little salt, pepper, and vinegar, good stuff.

Baked some of my best rye bread with it. Use it like a butter and or oil replacement. Remember many years ago we would make laundry soap with it.

We use it for anything you'd normally use oil for.

I use it to replace butter/oil as much as possible, but I've run out a ways to keep the volume from growing the last few months. I've never pan fried shrimp, but it sounds good. Good call on the potatoes, but since I have been trying to lose weight...I haven't make country potatoes in a while. I shall make a batch soon. Good call on the cabbage, but I've never used it like that... I'll try it. I'm a big fan of Rye, if you have a recipe Fink, but I haven't made bread since I was a kid. Anyways, thanks again ya'll, and keep it coming!

Excellent for cooking fish cakes.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yep, always got 2-3 mason jars full ! When deep frying fish I add a 1/2 cup to the oil.

Reading this thread reminds me of a quip from the syndicated Sports Writer Woody Paige:

Bacon grease is the best seasoning there is. The negative sooth sayers say it's bad for you. They are just idiots who dont know crap. My Grandparents lived into their 90's, I've never had a physical with bad cholesterol readings and I'm 66. Just like most of the old school actual facts of life....old school principals win out. Great in fried cabbage, potatoes, cornbread, gravy, green beans....any beans....just save and use it!!@@
