I don't have a panini grill, but I do have a Hamilton electric grill and have not tried cooking bacon in it. I can clean the grease trap and give this a try. ;-) Thanks Brick!

Ok. :-) Cheers! You said you discarded them, so I was wondering... I know you only want the clean grease in your can. I was referring to those tasty granules that get strained out. -- Peace!

really good, take a chunk of pineapple and if you have a gas stove stick it
in the flame, then dip in the syrup then back in flame, think pineapple upsidewn cake on steriods without those pesky carbs from the cake... alas, i can't eat just fresh pineapple, Lee "Omelet" > wrote in message news > In article >, > "Stormmee" > wrote: > >> >> Yeah it does settle Marty but I'm just a single guy so anytime >> >> I'm >> >> using bacon fat Seems I'm near the bottom of can. and peaches >> >> sauteed >> >> in bacon doesn't sound so bad to me. >> > >> > Ooh, that gives me an idea! >> > >> > I've honestly not tried grilling fruit yet and I plan to smoke those >> > pork ribs and some chicken tomorrow (Saturday).

The GF didn't have a panini type hinge so I couldn't do pressed sandwiches with it. This one has a drain port at the right front corner that really works well. I elevate the rear of the grill about 1/2 inch to enhance the draining characteristic and it works real well. The fried bacon does not stick together in the freezer, so it is quite convenient to make an instant BLT or whatever. I've just discovered a closeby source for raw pork bellies, so I'm going to get some of that next and have some pure lard. -- Brick said that |

I pop popcorn in it the old fashioned way. Put enough bacon greas in a
pot to cover a piece of popcorn. Put two pieces in grease until they pop then add a single layer of popcorn and pop until finished. Salt and thank me later!!

Oooh, bet a pico de gallo powder with lime+chile would be good after cooking it too Just verified from a coworker, pico de gallo powder is good on any fruit. In deference to the original thread: ProTip: Use of bacon fat as a personal lubricant is not advised. |

Their convoluted POV is that someone could borrow or steal the car while you are driving the other. When my son, who had his own car and insurance, was still living with us, the rates were such that they were covering him just because he lived here. |

If you're a bacon fat junkie, you ask yourself these questions routinely. I ask Om because she's very knowledgeable, about this kind of question. I have a high regard for her. Kent |

The shelf life for different fats is different. There isn't anything to speak of published about the safety of keeping bacon fat, as there is with lard. I was appropriately asking for the experience of others in this group. I think it was a good and interesting thread. Thanks to all for your thoughts about this. Kent |

It breaks down at a relatively low temprature, and isn't suitable for grilling. I use the most tasteless vegetable oil I can find for that purpose. Kent |

I always have ham stock on hand from the previous ham. Add coffee to taste. It has to be high brow coffee, none of this instant stuff. Cook down a bit to enrichen. Add roux to degree of thickness I want. I always, or usually have roux on hand. Cheers, Kent |

I apply bacon fat very thinly to the cut end of a standing rib roast. It seals somewhat the cut end. It gives the end of a unique kind of char flavor to the cut end piece. For steak, or any meat where the heat source is primarily direct, or via the grate, it certainly does break down.It, however, helps create the "char". I apply a very thin coat of canola oil. I get a better sear than if I don't, especially with a lean piece of meat. I also think it reduces the grey band slightly. I object to being called a dork. I am a certified nerd, but not a dolt. A dolt is one with the IQ level of a rock. "Dolt" may be the most sophisticated insult in the English language. I think it's time for you to have your periodic high colonic irrigtion. Putting a little phenobarbital in the enema solutioin will help. Kent |
