Can You Save And Reuse Bacon Grease?
Yes, bacon grease can be saved and reused. After cooking bacon, let the grease cool to room temperature and strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean, heat-safe container. Store the container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. Reusing the bacon grease adds flavor to dishes and can be used for cooking vegetables, frying eggs or making gravies. However, it is important to note that excessive consumption of bacon grease can be unhealthy and lead to heart disease.
