They are just not the same without it.

If you leave the salt in, the grease will eventually get moldy. It is easy to wash and get pure white lard to use in places you do not want bacon flavor(baked goods, pie crust, ect.). Use a wide mouth straight sided glass jar. Add 1/3 liquid grease, 1/3 hot water to the jar and stir well, then refrigerate till the grease is solid. Drain the water, remove the lard, scrape any grayish or other surface contamination off of the solid lard. Replace lard in the jar and melt to liquid by placing in a shallow pan of hot water. Repeat the above process as many times as needed until the lard no longer tastes salty(3 times is usually enough). You now have pure lard. You can use the same procedure to purify beef tallow for soap making. Mom knew all sorts of depression era household tricks of using everything and waste nothing.

As a kid, in the late '50s and '60s, mom _always_ had a container of bacon grease in the refrigerator. Our container was smaller than the one you show, but it did have a strainer on the top, too. Mom would dump the bacon grease in. Every time we fried _anything_ we'd dip into the (in our case, refrigerated) bacon grease container, get a healthy scoop, and drop it in the pan, and off we go!

that is because the bacon is steam cooked from it's own moisture (from within the meat), as well is being finished off with the frying. The liquid at the beginning of cooking contains a lot of water... which eventually evaporates as the lid is lifted several times... the remaining bacon grease fries it. So as the bacon is generally cooked already from the moisture content, the frying time is a lot less, and a lot less mess in the pot.

Thank you for the video. I love bacon and I always keep a sealed, glass container full in my fridge. I got this cooking tip from Dr. Berry.

@H4KnSL4K On the counter in air tight container is fine for a few months as long as the grease is strained.

I'm 75, grew up in the 50's / 60's...mother taught me all her depression era cooking. I've always cooked bacon in this same manner as she did and saved the grease as you do. We never use processed cooking oils. Moreover if you have never fried your chicken in pure strained bacon grease...you missing out on the best fried chicken you will ever taste 💖

I start mine out with melting a pound of bacon grease from the previous batch in the pot. Use medium heat until the water cooks off then low heat until the bacon is at the “swinging” stage. Don’t filter the grease. Just put it melted into a container and refrigerate it till solid then remove it from the container, flip it over and scrape all the brown crumbles from the bottom and save it to flavor other dishes.

Hey 👋 First time watching y’all! Thank you sir for bringing us this video so people can watch and learn. I use my bacon fat for cooking stews, white rice, stewed rice with pigeon peas or chick peas, black eyed peas, or stewed rice with chicken thighs or pork. The flavor is truly out of this world! I also use bacon fat to sauté my herbs and veggies! It’s endless! So in place of those 16:00 16:00 awful oils like canola which is a crime to even say the word let alone use that “UFO”, (unidentified fake oils), people start using bacon fat!

Cut in half, throw it in the pot, cook for 5 mins on sealing, release pressure, use a wooden spoon to separate the slices and stir occasionally until the bacon gets done the way you like it and remove it from the pot on to paper towels as it does. Simple. I taught my autistic son to cook it this way so he can cook it without getting spit at by the grease.

That's a cool way of cooking Bakon. I have been cooking Bakon in a black iron Dutch oven for years. I open the package and dump it in the Dutch oven on low heat. come back a while later the grease is coming out of the Bakon. I then give it a stir to separate the pieces turn the heat up a bit, and come back when well browned. Also, the oven does well. Just put bacon into a small baking pan laid out in single layers. Place in a cold oven and set the oven to 350. In my oven, the Bacon is well browned by the time the oven reaches 350. if not, it won't be much longer. I enjoyed your method. I just don't have all that much money to spend. Saving that bacon grease is a lot cheaper too.

I'm sure some have said this previously, but when cooking bacon this way over a gas stove, remember that the "moisture" on the inside of the lid when you take it off to stir it is bacon grease. When that comes into contact with the open flame of the burner (not recommended), amazing and ugly things can happen. Be very careful. That being said, I cook mine just like they showed here and it works perfectly.

This is a good way to cook bacon I have started cooking mine in my oven on cookie sheets. I bake on 425 for approx 20-25 min, I don't even turn it any more, realized I didn't need to. A tip for people is we cook a whole pkg like 2 lbs at a time and store whatever we don't eat in the freezer that way all we have to do is pull it out and heat for another meal. Bacon freezes beautifully. If I have a recipe that calls for bacon I don't have to cook some , it's always on hand.

Perfect as you'll be able to get everything bacon liquid and bits as it bends and forms to the side out of that pot whereas the wooden or nylon spatulas/spoons will struggle when pouring out into the container. This will likely be my new method going forward for crispy bacon as obviously splashing can be an issue, my only worry later was the water but it everything looks good and evaporates later anyways.

I just got through cooking my bacon to put in the collard greens for Thanksgiving. I want to add that this will be only way I will be cooking bacon. I didn't even have to baby sit it, and I didn't even put the lid on it. Great way to cook bacon! (BTW: I am starting my carnivore way of eating after Christmas and the New Year, that's why I'm fixing the collard greens.)

i cook bacon in my air fryer at 4 minutes each side, So crispy and delicious. I save the grease to fry the best eggs.

My daughter got us into cooking bacon in the oven, on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, 400 degrees for 25 minutes flipping over halfway. Mmmmmm, never tasted better. We collect the grease in a preserve jar.

You had me at "the clean up is amazing"! 🤩 Any other way I've tried, either in a skillet or baked in the oven always makes a mess. I've not tried the microwave method, but expect to have another clean up job there too. Can't wait to try it.

The microwave pan is horrible cleaning, but it's delicious for a few slices. We enjoyed the oven method only when he brushed his own maple syrup on them halfway through and turned them over.

microwave works well, but it can 'pop' as you cook it..... keep a paper towel on top of it to prevent any mess.

Bacon is preserved that is why the bacon grease last so long without refrigeration

Ever since Dr.Berry showed us this hack, I always cook bacon this way.

Just found your channel. Love it! I've been cooking my bacon in the microwave, which I like a lot. I only cook what I want to eat in the morning. I like this new, to me, idea of cooking more at one time. And I appreciate knowing about the canister with the strainer and the great set of wooden utensils. Those both will be a nice New Year's present to myself. Thanks from one carnivore, who wanted more ideas, to another! I'll be trying the waffles soon.

Don’t throw away those Cracklin’s! I separate mine out of the fat and keep it in the refrigerator. if you want to add amazing flavor to just about anything, put in a teaspoon or a tablespoon of Bacon Cracklin’s. It’s my secret ingredient in soups, stews gravies, and sauces.

That's really strange. For some reason, we NEVER had any cracklins. hmmm, I wonder why? 😉

I just watched your video and I just tried the technique, as I was putting the bacon on the paper towel I was thinking it be nice to just strain it. Can you pour the entire contents of the pot directly into the bacon strainer and save the paper towel? Honest question, not a criticism.

@AnimalBasedInYourFace

8 ай бұрын

That is a great idea. I don’t think you could pour 2lbs of bacon all at once but yes you could scoop up a few pieces at a time and put them in the strainer, then dump the bacon in the strainer in a storage container. 👍🏻

I look forward to trying this method to cook my next batch of bacon. Thank you for sharing. I also love your grease bucket/strainer. Do you only put bacon grease in there, or can you also mix in grease from cooking hamburger or other meats?

@AnimalBasedInYourFace

Only bacon grease. I would keep them separate. We get beef tallow from our local bbq place. It’s filtered and white as snow. Jared and kept in the pantry. We keep the bacon grease out on the counter at room temp too. It just needs to be air tight and make sure you strain the bacon bits out with the strainer, those go bad. Keep those in the fridge and add to eggs ect.

Thank's now I have to buy a new pot. You method looks great. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

thanks for your video today, that looks like a very good method. I have been using the cookie trays in the oven with parchment paper under the bacon and it works well but leaves a lot of mess to clean after. I am going for your method in future, although the air-fryer also works with minimum clean up. I have done bacon in a cast iron pot similar to how you did this, but I ground up the bacon myself first and the result is crispy bacon-bits when it is done.

Me Too! Baking sheets with parchment paper is/was my favorite method but seeing how well this works I'm trying it right now😊 Thanks Much!

I tried last night after your other video and it was a failure as most of the bacon was burnt and had to be thrown away. I realize now the problem was wrong pot ( a stainless steel one) and too high of a temperature. Going to try again because my old method of baking the bacon is a lot of work

@AnimalBasedInYourFace

8 ай бұрын

Yes every pot is different and you have to turn the bacon every 3 minutes or so. Stainless is very bad to stick and burn. We did it in a SS pot and an instant pot which is SS. Both burned on bottom and had to clean that mess up, which we have videos of both on our channel. The bacon didn’t burn but had to be cooked on a lower heat and turned about every 3 minutes. Also if you have leftover saved bacon grease you can add it to the SS pot and heat before you add your bacon and this helps.

Using silicone tipped tongs also works great to rotate the cooking bacon. I have also found that putting a couple of table spoons of lard in the pot to get hot before putting the bacon in helps to get the cooking started sooner and the results have been great....crispy bacon that isn't burned. Carni-life rules!

Since I end up cutting most of my already-fried bacon anyway, I started cutting it into bacon-bit size and then fry it in a pot. Way less involved than en masse on the griddle like I did for decades.

I bake mine, now, too. I was so glad to learn this as I hated frying bacon and getting burned by the popping grease. I don’t flip my slices, and it’s still perfect. I start it in a cold oven.
