Bacon Grease

[dcrummett]

Been saving bacon grease from microwaving strips for breakfast. Currently storing in a lidded plastic gallon icecream container. What are some good uses for this product in muzzle loading?

And...Merry Christmas to all of you! You are a valued set of folks in my life.

Fry some eggs? Maybe drizzle some on your venison steaks? It contains salt. Don’t let it anywhere near the metal surfaces of anything you value… other than skillets.

Don’t use it on a gun at all. Don’t use it as patch lube. It has salts in it that will rust things up in the long run.

I make cornbread using bacon grease. It's also great in greens. Milk gravy for biscuits.

You can substitute it for shortening in any baking, so long as you are ok with a 'bacony' bit of flavour. I use it for crusts for meat pies, biscuits, pancakes, and for frying anything. Makes great fried toast (great way to clean up the pan after frying bacon and eggs for yer camp breakfast). With that much, you could try making French fries or fritters.

Is there any other way to fry eggs?

I see Poster being advised not to use Bacon Grease as a patch lube due to the salts used to cure bacon. I have no idea how bacon is cured in the U.S.A but here Saltpetre/potassium nitrate is used to cure bacon/ham/salami and such. It`s the same Saltpetre used in making Black Powder. You are putting the same salt`s in the barrel every time you load with Black Powder so what`s the difference, I`m confused.

I remember as a Kid rubbing Potassium Nitrate with water into legs of pork to cure it and a few years back talking to a Butcher who used the same commercial brand Potassium Nitrate for Bacon as I do to Make Black Powder.

I just use Olive Oil for patch lube and don`t intend using anything else.

bacon also has common table salt used as part of the process…

In 1976, I slow danced with a girl. We both were interested in the other. During the dance I remember her sniffing. She lost all interest in me immediatly. I was confused, as is normal for such matters when you are 14 YO. 40 years later my sister broke the news. The reason the girl lost interest in me was because I smelled like bacon! It was off putting for her. I had cooked bacon for breakfast.

You dodged a bullet sir…

Keep some in your bread bag to fry up some squirrel or rabbit on the trail.

Don’t use it as a lube etc. it’s naturally got salt in it which can cause corrosion.

Any woman dont like the smell of bacon has no future with a man. You found out in time. She probably a veggy-loviin man-hating lesbo-commie.

There are people out there who DON’T like Brussel sprouts?
