Cooking fat

If you eat bacon, you might as well save the bacon grease to use in other things. Try it instead of butter on popcorn, or put it in green beans or use it to grease the pan for cornbread. It's free and you eat it anyway when you eat the bacon.

Not sure about bacon fat on popcorn, it doesn't sound as if it'd taste too good.

I use mine to feed the birds. I collect all sorts of fat in an empty yogurt pot and hang it outside for them when it's full.

To each their own. I like the flavor it gives. It has to be better for you than that fake stuff they flavor popcorn with! :)

I would recommend against eating it, it's saturated animal fat which is bad for your veins and heart.

You'll notice I said "IF" you eat bacon... and if you eat bacon, you're already eating that saturated animal fat. I don't eat margarine because I don't trust fake food... so choose your poison, Dennis. :)
