[london.food] Bacon grease

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2003/8/13]

I've been cooking breakfasts quite a bit on the weekends recently -
motivation for this is, I think, because I've been getting up so early
that it's cool when I wake up, so the thought of cooking is not
unpleasant, and by the time the rest of the house wakes up I'm hungry
again so I need a second breakfast.  Or something like that, anyway.

I've been doing bacon in a ridged pan on top of the stove.  I prefer
back bacon, but Richard and Mark have a freezer stash of streaky.
I've noticed that the streaky bacon gives off quite a lot of fat and
was wondering if there's any way of using this to flavour other stuff.
I mean, it comes out of bacon; it must have flavour, right?  Any hints?

    Yes. Pour the grease through a sieve into a nice pot or bowl and then

    Well, the easiest way is just to substitute it for some of the fat

    The simple option is just go fry something else afterwards, potato bread
