    I pan fry stuff all the time, but usually use Canola oil. What am I gonna do to my arteries if I start using bacon grease instead?

      I use bacon grease and beef tallow for almost all of my frying. The only side effect I’ve had is that I no longer bleed when getting shot because my arteries have become bulletproof. It’s like a superpower.

      Agreed. When I’m cooking with bacon I’ll save the grease and use it if that singular meal requires any additional pan frying, otherwise I toss it cause I don’t need to be ingesting all that grease on the regular

      If you have the bacon grease already it’s very nice. I use a small strainer and pour the grease into a little mason jar and then use the grease for all sorts of cooking. There’s no advantage to it, but it’s giving the grease a second use, which is useful.

      I respect the concern, but if you already ate the bacon that left you with the fat, hasn’t a fair amount of the damage already been done?
