    Hell nah, jar. Next time you pan fry something, use the bacon grease to take it to a whole nother level.

      I pan fry stuff all the time, but usually use Canola oil. What am I gonna do to my arteries if I start using bacon grease instead?

        Agreed. When I’m cooking with bacon I’ll save the grease and use it if that singular meal requires any additional pan frying, otherwise I toss it cause I don’t need to be ingesting all that grease on the regular

        If you have the bacon grease already it’s very nice. I use a small strainer and pour the grease into a little mason jar and then use the grease for all sorts of cooking. There’s no advantage to it, but it’s giving the grease a second use, which is useful.

        I use bacon grease and beef tallow for almost all of my frying. The only side effect I’ve had is that I no longer bleed when getting shot because my arteries have become bulletproof. It’s like a superpower.

        Man… I tried using all bacon grease as my fat when I made the roux…. That was a tough gumbo to get through. But canola with a bit of bacon grease is right. If you can find it, 1-2-3 oil in place of the canola is the tits.

          My brain interpreted that as 3-in-1 oil for a brief second, in which I thought you were really out here trying to murder some folks.
