Cooking with Bacon Grease

Did you know that you can use your excess bacon grease for cooking?! Most people pour their excess grease into a tin can or glass jar and throw it away. Using the You Do It Suet® allows for easy storage of meat grease that you can then use to feed the birds or when cooking. There are many great ways to use bacon grease when cooking, see below for a few great ideas:

1. Use bacon grease when cooking fresh veggies. Just place a dollop of bacon grease in a frying pan and toss with fresh veggies such as: broccoli, onions, carrots and peppers.
