Wow nice skillet!

We live in a veritable house of skillets. The cast iron ones are hanging up in the laundry room.

I am a longtime bacon lover and our church would go to the Ronald McDonald House and make breakfast once a month for the parents and kids staying there.....around 10 pounds each time. I appreciate a good skillet....or three or four.

Overcooked.....But it's bacon, 10 of 10.

Overcooked?

I wonder how many people reserve the grease after they cooked their eggs in it?

That's a big no-no unless you want a sulfur smell to your grease pot.

Reserve a large portion of your grease before you cook your eggs.....Toss any remaining afterwards.

You're absolutely right. We keep a small Mason jar of it in the fridge. Everything get seasoned with bacon grease around here.

I use a commercial grease pot.....Peel off the label/toss the strainer.....Walmart has them.

Pro-tip.....They also make excellent solo camping pots, just replace the plastic knob with a piece of looped wire or a metal knob. I keep a small Transgia alcohol stove kit in it.

I love it.

How long can you keep bacon grease in the fridge before it goes bad?

No idea.....I suspect that one has been in the fridge several years. I never felt the need to replace the grease.

In the fridge it won't "sour" in a couple years like lard will when just stored in a root cellar.

I recently bought some fully cooked bacon at Costco. It was okay, but I like bacon that I cook better because I can cook it to the level of crispiness that I desire. That said, there are some good things about the already cooked bacon. 1. Does not require refrigeration. 2. Don't have to cook it. (Nice for adding a few slices to a hamburger) 3. Pretty good price/pound for the bacon considering that most of the regular bacon is cooked off in grease.

Looks to be just ready to take out of the frying pan to me. I like my bacon crispy.. not limp and bendy.

LOL.....My dad bought a case of uncooked canned bacon for hunt camp one year.....It was surprisingly good but damn was it salty.....We got so we soaked it overnight first.

It was this stuff.

I don't recall every seeing that kind of bacon.

There are all kinds of canned bacon.

Even fully-cooked "tactical" bacon.

I'm the opposite as I love my bacon chewy not crispy.
