Can we discuss fats in this thread too? What are some things you guys use bacon grease/fat to cook with?

I used to use it for most anything we would sauté or fry, but since going almost exclusively to cast iron, because of its lower smoke point, I don't use it as much anymore. Even then tho, I'll put a spoonful of it in there if I want the smoky, bacony flavor.

I use bacon grease to make refried beans, helps add salt too so its a nice two birds with one stone situation.

I think this thread should be renamed simply “Fats”

Do a mango habanero hot sauce

My neighbor does a pineapple habanero hot sauce that I can't compete with. He makes really good sauces. I'm enjoying doing the oils. I'm excited to try the extract

I’ve been cooking a lot with avocado oil. it has a higher smoke point than olive oil with all the health benefits.
