FREE BACON GREASE

This ad was found on Craigslist. I could not resist sharing this with you. I remember my mom saving bacon grease in a designated container kept in the refrigerator. I did not take him up on his offer but I did get a nice chuckle from his ad.

CRAIGSLIST AD

I'm giving away a jar of bacon grease / bacon fat, from hardwood smoked bacon. I make sure to fry it at low or medium heat so as not to burn the grease. It's a beautiful cream color.

It's a great cooking ingredient, but we don't use it in our kitchen. "Bacon butter" or "bacon drippings" are classic with vegetables or Southern cuisine. Many say "You can't fry a potato, season green beans or mustard greens without it."

Traditionally, bacon grease is saved in British and southern U.S. cuisine, and used as a base for cooking and as an all-purpose flavouring.
