Bacon grease is like gold around here. I use it in place of anything that calls for shortening. I won't get into why I don't agree with vegetable shortening, but who wouldn't prefer bacon grease? I'll teach you how to save it and how to use it.
I usually use old glass jars that cannot be used for canning or that I've recycled from store bought items. |
Uses for bacon grease.
Do you have any other suggestions, that's all I can think that I use it for. It saves a lot of money and hardly takes any time. I must say when I add it to a recipe I hardly taste bacon, but when I do, yummy!
