Are you the same people complaining about increasing food prices who are also throwing away the best part? The bacon is the byproduct. People! Save this grease and use it when another recipe calls for butter.

Butter is already like 90% fat.

I didn’t get it. Now I do. Still, use that bacon grease in place of butter. Maybe add less salt. Now you gentlemen gonna buy some wigs or ain’t ya?

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

If you aren’t the kind of person who eats bacon to get that bacon fat from in the first place, feel free to ignore.

In my house, you'll do what I do, and believe what I believe.

If I cook a bunch of bacon, im using that bacon greased up pan to cook up a bunch of other food before i clean it. It makes everything taste so much better.

[–] Sonor@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

hmm, my cookies taste weird now, but okay

I guess they have been trained to not value valuable things so they can buy new things to serve that same purpose? I stayed with someone who threw away all the white part of his leeks because that was all just root and they once touched dirt or something.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Did he also only eat the leaves of his potatoes?

[–] bier@feddit.nl 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If possible I save the grease. My house is next to a river, so I made it a habbit to not just throw away food but feed it to the fish. Sometimes we have leftovers and it's been a little too long to eat, so I throw it in the river.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's smart. Then you have a steady supply of fresh fish.

[–] bier@feddit.nl 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, as a kid I loved fishing, I recently started again, but I actually felt kind of bad for the fish. Maybe if this trend continues I'll be a vegan in the next 20 years.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The fish are going to die anyway. Might as well be the one getting fed by them.

[–] bier@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

While this is true, I don't eat fish in general (don't like the taste), so it's more a sport than for food.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

Firestarter kits are weirdly expensive why would you eat the best accelerate?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Ran out of butter last week and found out when I went to make a little bit of fudge. I used the bacon fat I strain and keep in a jar in the fridge. I usually don't care for bacon tasting desserts, but I wasn't mad about that decision at all.

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Keep them money saved by using bacon grease for heart disease later on.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

The savings go into the next pack of bacon, creating an endless bacon grease hack.
