ok let me clarify: We've been pouring bacon grease out of the pan and into a container and then storing it in the fridge.  There is over a cup now. I know it can be used in lieu of butter but not sure what the better uses are for it.

Dude I cook all my deer and elk meat and pork cops in bacon grease, I also fry my potatoes in bacon grease, gives awesome flavor yet it doesn't take away the actual taste of whatever your cooking.

I bet there are more uses, but like mentioned above, I just use it to fry basically everything, from eggs to meats...

You've been storing it for a while and got a whole cup?  I get that every time I cook bacon 


I use a table spoon in my veggies,  like collared greens, spinach, cornmeal breaded okra or asparagus.
coat your cast iron skillets with it and bake some cornbread.

February is American Heart Month! I'm just being a nice guy and going to let my wife practice CCR on me!

Normally we cook turkey bacon  which is extremely lean. I guess I felt like clogging my arteries for once. Man, it tastes good! We're 1/2 way through a 4 pack from Costco so I'm guessing this will be good for about 2-3 cups of grease. I could just save some time and inject it into my coronary arteries I guess

Alberto Salazar, one of the fittest human beings on the planet had a heart attack. I read his autobiography. Interestingly I'm guessing that the other parts of his healthy heart allowed him to survive 14 minutes of cardiac arrest whereas a regular fat bass turd might have perished.

Well I hardly ever eat bacon and I still fit into my clothes from high school, more than half my lifetime later!
