T’s Child: Bacon grease is already rendered! As long as the flavor would not get in the way of your recipe, yes, well-raised bacon makes grease that would work instead of lard almost anywhere. I keep meaning to make mayo with it, and someone I know just made crackers that way. Mmmmm. Katie

Awesome, Christine! I was happily surprised about how simple rendering my own tallow was. Katie

I found a great source here in Washington State. Thunderinghoves, they are in Walla Walla, however have many delivery spots in our area. You can buy grass fed lard & tallow. Remdering it in my crock-pot is easiest. found info on “daily apple” web site. I have since bought 1/2 a cow & 1/2 pig, much cheaper way to go. I ask for all fat so I can render myself. Really like this web site:)

I wanted to make fries tonight with coconut oil but didn’t have enough left. I thought about bacon grease but haven’t collected enough yet. But could I use bacon grease in place of lard in most recipes, such as fries? Does it have to be rendered?

LOL I really am on Maui, and often my coconut oil is liquid as we don’t have air conditioning (most people don’t on the mountainside).

The fat is now in the fridge!

if you’re really on Maui, I’d say yes, put it in the fridge. Warm temps will make it go bad/rancid really quick.

My dad has always kept a cup of bacon grease on the back of the stove. The other night I cooked up 2 pounds of bacon for a "breakfast for dinner" get together with friends and I decided to save the grease. I have it in the cupboard. Does it really need to be refrigerated? My dad never refrigerated his. .-= AmandaonMaui´s last blog ..First Food I Ever Cooked =-.
