My Grandparents through nothing away. My Grandfather (born 1889) use to say, wait seven days before you through anything away and REMEMBER WHERE YOU THROUGH IT!
I remember using their bars of homemade soap. The small old bar was usually fused onto the new bar. Grandma saved grease and made soap with it. She cooked the most wonderful honey bread, and I would go over and get a paper sack loaf of bread.
My grandma was out in the garden every morning early picking weeds and tending to her garden.
Back before electricity was even in our town, my grandparents had electricity. My grandfather had a chicken hatchery where he ran two Kolar generators so they could also light the house. He actually developed one of the first cures for Coccidiosis that was killing lots of chickens and sold it to General Foods for next to nothing.
That is amazing, most kids these days won’t have a clue what the grease is for, it makes the best soap.
Former vegan here: bacon grease is the best stuff ever
Try to get uncured bacon without Sodium Nitrite if you're not already. Most of the stuff on the supermarket rack has chemicals in it
I saw thick sliced bacon no nitrate at $ 21.00 could not believe it ...
We get sliced smoked beef brisket for $9/lb from a local producer. Nearly all meat... I need to ask about nutrites.
IMO beef grease makes the best soap.
Yes tallow is best but in a pinch bacon fat which was cheaper would do.
Bacon soap does have a nice manly smell.
This! 1000 times. After 20 years taking cholesterol reducing drugs and eating a fat reducing diet, the Covid hoax taught me to forget all that shit. Now I cook a fried breakfast in dripping every morning - instead of being hungry 30 minutes later I'm full for the whole day ..... and the taste!
Welcome to the tribe.
I save the fat from frying my bacon so I can fry my seasoned potatoes. What’s left after my potatoes goes to frying my eggs. Over easy of course do the yolks run over my potatoes and bacon. Not a drop of bacon fat is wasted. None of that “heart-healthy seed oils for me thanks. Enjoy!
This is the way.
I put a small amount in my beans. If I'm using canned beans about 1/2 teaspoon is all that is needed to give them that awesome bacon flavor. I'm from the south so I also use fat back greased a lot.
Yeah, we definitely love our bacon grease down South. 😊❤️👍
Animal fats are superior to plant-based oils... The problem however goes back to the old saying, "You are what you eat." Producers feed soy to animals and its effects get passed onto the consumer.
This site loves calling out "soy bois" without realizing how prevalent soy is within the entire food industry.. From deep fryer oil to chocolate bars and everything in-between, soy.
Know your food.
Worse than soy is flaxseed. That shit will chemically castrate you if you eat enough of it.

Didn't know this. Thanks.
Can you please educate me on how you save the grease, please. A container sitting next to the stove and the drippings go into it? How much do you use when seasoning the potatoes? How long does it last on top of the counter before it goes bad? Are there little chunks of bacon in the grease? Sorry to sound like a whiny broken record but I'm interested in this one aspect of prepping and I have zero knowledge. Thanks.
Thank you for this tid bit of education. I appreciate your time and effort. God bless.
My mother saved bacon grease, not just my grandmothers and great-grandmothers. I have her glass bacon grease container that was always on the stove. She cooked with it, never made soap. That was for flavor, not to save on grease. Everything is better with bacon.
She was very frugal in other ways but appreciated the conveniences of electricity, indoor plumbing and modern appliances. Her mother made her (and her sisters') dresses on a non-electric sewing machine out of flour sacks, which were printed cotton fabric.
God bless her. Some people have had it hard. Like, really hard. Like, basically all they do is spend their time trying to survive. Leftists in this country have it so good, they get uncomfortable 'talking about' things like truth and reality. Can't imagine them surviving a week under tough conditions.
Have you watched the 1883 series? Best show ever ! Life was very hard when they settled the west.
No, never heard of it but I'm sure life was extremely hard for those people.
Not Naked And Sometimes Afraid (but with no production crew to bail them out if the are stupid enough to eat mushrooms they can’t identify)
I imagine most would be dead after the first day of bitching and moaning, crying and whining.
Just couldn't listen anymore....
bacon fat --->> awesome roux = tasty sauces
My mom always freaks out at me if I am about to throw away a plastic baggie lol like wants to take it home with her if I don’t agree to keep the thing. Im like “mom, its covered in meat juice…”
My Grandmother washed her plastic sandwhich bags until the day she died. She never forgot those days of absolute poverty.
Why are you not already saving bacon grease?!
Yea and her bacon wasn't loaded with sodium nitrite either. Now you have to go out of your way just to get bacon with no poison in it.
Once i learned how long it takes to make foil.. i save and wash every piece that could be used again.
We kept the bacon grease in a Crisco can on the stove. Any time you needed to keep something from sticking in a frying pan you plopped a dollop in. This was before Teflon. After seeing the docu on Teflon and how DuPont poisoned that town, grease doesn't seem so bad.
I have a pic like this of my Great grandmother. She's out in her garden in a full length cotton dress with long sleeves. In the summertime. Those folks were hardy back in the day, too bad that has been taught out of kids of this generation. Hard work in 99* weather is not a bad thing, sometimes it is necessary to fill your belly.
I already do those things, although I don't wash my foil, I just save it for when I smelt it down into an aluminum block which I will use in a CNC machine to mill out an AR-15 receiver.
Wife and I are on a carnivore diet and we save our bacon grease. It is great to reuse.
