Bacron grease – droooooooll
What do you do with the bacon grease? Use it again?
yea NTH bacon grease is awesome for sauteing umm anything really 🙂
Thanks martym, I am starting to feel my artery getting clogged with pork fat. 🙂 Actually, I like Carbonara and because I haven’t been able to find the proper meat, I use bacon instead. And no, I do not drain the fat.
actually bacon is the proper meat (although tech. it should be Ital. bacon: pancetta) enjoy (in moderation) 🙂
aah food tied up…we used call to the makers of it: the bondage freaks from the pancetta factory. fuck who didn’t take all the fucking string off!!!
That reminds me of an old SCTV sketch – “The Cruising Gourmet” First manacle your chicken and hang it up by the wing wrists. The tenderize it with a tiny little cat o’nine tails. Then comes the stuffing part which I will leave to your imaginations. >: )
that was sweet shit: (in a jersey accent) “1st you have to make sure the bird is dead” pokes the chicken with a switch blade repeatedly “hey bird you dead huh huh ” 🙂
just heat for 2 minutes in nukerwave, then flush,pour whatever, then use hot, not warm or cold water, you know that wet stuff that are found in taps and sinks. and hit with hot water, til shit is all gone.then you take and wash out as normal.
LOL Marty, I totally forgot the switchblade part.
I put the bacon grease and hamburger fat into empty Campbell’s soup cans and then throw them away. I know, I know, I should be recylcing the can, but it’s either I throw it away or my drain gets clogged up. I’ve heard some granolas scoop out the fat and leave it for the birds in winter.
what the birdies are going to need triple by-pass surgery after eating bacon fat shame on those supposed granolas 🙂
It’s best to use cans, like soup cans.
mmmmmmm, bacon flavoured onion sandwiches, (best homer simpson drool).
This bacon discussion and especially the sandwich part reminds me of a SF horror “Dreamcatcher”. In the original novel, the alien discovers bacon sandwich WITH MAYO (it is capitalized in the original). But the alien eats the bacon raw and gets sick. It is quite hilarious. I think it was Stephen King who wrote it.
Lifey, if you nuke an aluminum can, interesting things may happen.
yeah jen, i know, that’s why i said it, gotta have some interesting shit going on, from time to time. but if the o.p. is like me, i save all mine in a large coffee can, and freeze, then take out during deer season, to use as bear bait or lure. heat that stuff up for 10 mintes or so on a portable barby, and the smell travels miles thru the woods, old bear gets whiff, comes running, and bang, game over for him or her. then yes ivan, i have my way with it while still warm. (just kidding people).
The best use of bacon grease is to fry your bread in it as you eat the bacon and eggs and fried tomatoes and fried mushrooms – English cuisine at it’s finest, this is highly recommended the morning after you get drunk as a bastard.
we called that egg in the hole when i was little. some folks called it toad in the hole. you use a glass and cut a round hole and when the bread is frying in the bacon grease you drop the egg in…easy peasy especially if you are at sea
Yum! We called it a bird’s nest, paingirl. It was my favourite. 🙂
In the Royal Navy, poached egg on toast is called “chicken on a raft”
cool, new food terms to introduce into my conversations/rants^^^
When I was in the RN – and we had kidneys for breakfast with fried bread, it was colourfully called “shit on a raft”.
Black pudding had a different name, but I can’t use the term as it’s offensive.
ah yes the lowly kidney, me ma used to fry them with worchester sauce…the taste was better than the smell. she also used to boil tongue at night and slice it thin for sammiches, if you didn’t see the tastebuds beforehand it was pretty good
Tastebuds on boiled tongue….ugh….guess I don’t need to worry about supper tonite!
I have the bacon grease solution. I assume most people use paper towel to rest the bacon on once it’s cooked? Just take the same paper towel, lay it in the pan when yer done cookin, and let it soak up the grease. Once it’s hardened a bit, you can take it out with a fancy sweeping motion if you like, swab the pan with another towel to remove any residuals, and BAM! Totally compostable, easy to do, no worry about a grease can/jar.
Problem solved.
teehee…it was always cooked, peeled and sliced thin when i ate it. then one fateful night i was awake and i saw the whole tongue. bdr is more correct^^^, i know… my league loves the piggy strips
Know what? Last night I had a hankering for eggs – which I satisfied as a late dinner. Me thinks LTWWB is becoming too intrusive into my psyche for my liking. Hmmm… It’s kinda scary as I read this and realized WHY I wanted eggs and toast and bacon for supper – THIS THREAD I read at work yesterday! Alas, I had no bacon, but still, whoa, back away from the bitch board! Soon I may never be able to escape.
As long as your mind isn’t being intruded by LS, I think you are safe.
no way…you peoples are both way too far into the vortex. desinty destiny no escaping that for me^^^love ya gene wilder and miss you miss kahn
