Well today was the day I finally tried your bacon cooking strategy. I have a big Christmas brunch for my family every year and cooking up pounds of bacon on Christmas morning is such a tedious messy job. I cooked several pounds of bacon using your method and it worked great! Thanks so much!

[@debbietolbert4959]

In reading your careful way of separating the grease I wonder. Do you know a recipe using white bacon greace in tea cake cookies. They make so flaky and delicious

[@sempertard]

yep. bacon grease lasts forever.

[@silentrunner3067]

If you leave the salt in, the grease will eventually get moldy. It is easy to wash and get pure white lard to use in places you do not want bacon flavor(baked goods, pie crust, ect.). Use a wide mouth straight sided glass jar. Add 1/3 liquid grease, 1/3 hot water to the jar and stir well, then refrigerate till the grease is solid. Drain the water, remove the lard, scrape any grayish or other surface contamination off of the solid lard. Replace lard in the jar and melt to liquid by placing in a shallow pan of hot water. Repeat the above process as many times as needed until the lard no longer tastes salty(3 times is usually enough). You now have pure lard. You can use the same procedure to purify beef tallow for soap making. Mom knew all sorts of depression era household tricks of using everything and waste nothing.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

You are correct ❤️ Thank you for sharing!

You just taught me something I didn't learn well enough growing up from my Gran. I wish I listened then but love relearning things like this now that I can appreciate it.

As a kid, in the late '50s and '60s, mom _always_ had a container of bacon grease in the refrigerator. Our container was smaller than the one you show, but it did have a strainer on the top, too. Mom would dump the bacon grease in. Every time we fried _anything_ we'd dip into the (in our case, refrigerated) bacon grease container, get a healthy scoop, and drop it in the pan, and off we go!

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Way to go! ❤️

[@H4KnSL4K]

I've got lots of fats that I save .. hate to throw them out. But do they need to store in the fridge? I've got more counter space (or cupboard space) than fridge space, and it's a lot easier to scoop room-temperature fats than fridge-temp fats. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't need to refrigerate them .. but any thoughts?

[@ddsmitty1]

you're saying you lost 46 pounds in 76 days? congrats on the progress, but that level of loss doesn't seem sustainable.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Some very heavy people easily loose 100 lbs in 6 months. You convert your body to burn fat because you don’t eat many carbs, so the fat on your body gets used. Vegan diets usually end up loosing muscle protein for most of their weight loss.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

@H4KnSL4K On the counter in air tight container is fine for a few months as long as the grease is strained.

[@mariannepeterson6725]

[@kimberlyfoss4787]

@@AnimalBasedInYourFace thank you for sharing🥰

[@colonelfustercluck486]

that is because the bacon is steam cooked from it's own moisture (from within the meat), as well is being finished off with the frying. The liquid at the beginning of cooking contains a lot of water... which eventually evaporates as the lid is lifted several times... the remaining bacon grease fries it. So as the bacon is generally cooked already from the moisture content, the frying time is a lot less, and a lot less mess in the pot.

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Have never seen anyone cook with paper towels under their cookware before. The wooden utensil you were using with the bacon is called a spurtle.

I start mine out with melting a pound of bacon grease from the previous batch in the pot. Use medium heat until the water cooks off then low heat until the bacon is at the “swinging” stage. Don’t filter the grease. Just put it melted into a container and refrigerate it till solid then remove it from the container, flip it over and scrape all the brown crumbles from the bottom and save it to flavor other dishes.

That's a cool way of cooking Bakon. I have been cooking Bakon in a black iron Dutch oven for years. I open the package and dump it in the Dutch oven on low heat. come back a while later the grease is coming out of the Bakon. I then give it a stir to separate the pieces turn the heat up a bit, and come back when well browned. Also, the oven does well. Just put bacon into a small baking pan laid out in single layers. Place in a cold oven and set the oven to 350. In my oven, the Bacon is well browned by the time the oven reaches 350. if not, it won't be much longer. I enjoyed your method. I just don't have all that much money to spend. Saving that bacon grease is a lot cheaper too.

This is a good way to cook bacon I have started cooking mine in my oven on cookie sheets. I bake on 425 for approx 20-25 min, I don't even turn it any more, realized I didn't need to. A tip for people is we cook a whole pkg like 2 lbs at a time and store whatever we don't eat in the freezer that way all we have to do is pull it out and heat for another meal. Bacon freezes beautifully. If I have a recipe that calls for bacon I don't have to cook some , it's always on hand. I keep telling myself I'm going to cook up about 5 lbs one day and freeze because we go thru it so fast.

microwave works well, but it can 'pop' as you cook it..... keep a paper towel on top of it to prevent any mess.

[@Longeno55]

A very efficient as well as clean way to make bacon. This is big! Thank you!

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@DonGladwin]

Thank's now I have to buy a new pot. You method looks great. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

I'm sure some have said this previously, but when cooking bacon this way over a gas stove, remember that the "moisture" on the inside of the lid when you take it off to stir it is bacon grease. When that comes into contact with the open flame of the burner (not recommended), amazing and ugly things can happen. Be very careful. That being said, I cook mine just like they showed here and it works perfectly.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for the info. I haven’t cooked with gas in quite some time. Please feel free to comment on any video we make as to gas stove cooking if you think it would be different than electric or induction.

[@Klooney9mm]

I absolutely recommend getting a set of Silicone Spatulas also to add to the others. Perfect as you'll be able to get everything bacon liquid and bits as it bends and forms to the side out of that pot whereas the wooden or nylon spatulas/spoons will struggle when pouring out into the container. This will likely be my new method going forward for crispy bacon as obviously splashing can be an issue, my only worry later was the water but it everything looks good and evaporates later anyways.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes there is no water. It evaporates as it cooks.

[@louieluna3039]

Thank you for the tip. Your kitchen looks great, by the way. I enjoyed your presentation.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for the compliments and for watching. We try to educate and help the best we can.

[@MrWhyareyouhere]

I did check it out and I forgot to tell you. It's wonderful. I tried the paper towel under my pot at supper time Thanks.

[@DanielSuru]

Use this method with super thick bacon, or cubed pork belly, and start the cook in some beer, or even water. Let the beer boil off, then the grease will crisp the pork... Delicious.

[@ArizonaBorn1358]

Learned to save the grease growing up. Been saving myself. Last couple years I've been using it anywhere I use butter, ghee, etc. Animal fat is not the villain people make it out to be! I am healthier since I made the switch.

[@independentthinker8930]

Similar to how I cook bacon camping in thin cookware. It's "boiled" bacon. I put a little water in, the water boils, bacon starts to make grease, water boils away and you have samething as this. In thin cooking utensils the water keeps it from sticking and burning till enough grease is made

[@mtngrammy6953]

Just found your channel. Love it! I've been cooking my bacon in the microwave, which I like a lot. I only cook what I want to eat in the morning. I like this new, to me, idea of cooking more at one time. And I appreciate knowing about the canister with the strainer and the great set of wooden utensils. Those both will be a nice New Year's present to myself. Thanks from one carnivore, who wanted more ideas, to another! I'll be trying the waffles soon.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching and we’re so glad you found our channel.

[@mickeyreed6338]

I just got through cooking my bacon to put in the collard greens for Thanksgiving. I want to add that this will be only way I will be cooking bacon. I didn't even have to baby sit it, and I didn't even put the lid on it. Great way to cook bacon! (BTW: I am starting my carnivore way of eating after Christmas and the New Year, that's why I'm fixing the collard greens.)

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Awesome! So glad to hear. Thank you for watching!

[@armyranger9346]

It doesn't splatter because of the moisture (water/steam) that's produced when it starts cooking. Taking the lid off every three minutes lets the moisture out and in the end there is nothing but bacon grease left.

[@turntogodnotfood]

So so great! Thank you!

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you! We are very blessed to have this channel and share it to help people.

[@lilyandrose8557]

Yummy, thanks for this demonstration

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching!

[@shumardi1]

I ordered the bacon grease collector you recommended. That thing is awesome. I store the excess in mason jars.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Glad you love it, we do too!

[@Dakiniwoman]

thanks for your video today, that looks like a very good method. I have been using the cookie trays in the oven with parchment paper under the bacon and it works well but leaves a lot of mess to clean after. I am going for your method in future, although the air-fryer also works with minimum clean up. I have done bacon in a cast iron pot similar to how you did this, but I ground up the bacon myself first and the result is crispy bacon-bits when it is done.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@lesb4500]

Me Too! Baking sheets with parchment paper is/was my favorite method but seeing how well this works I'm trying it right now😊 Thanks Much!

[@yankabillyron4505]

This is a FANTASTIC idea on cooking bacon without the mess. I like hog jowl but it makes such a bigger mess than bacon....THIS is how I am going to try it next time. SO glad I ran across your channel, pork rind flour?? Bacon grease Mayo?? Oh my goodness I may start cooking SO much more. I'm going to watch more of your videos!

Welcome James! We love Tennessee, visit there on vacation. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

[@reginasingleton2566]

Really enjoyed your video. I already knew the method from the OG (KB). I’m from New England where the home of Yankee Candle is located. They have or had a candle scent called……Mmmmm Bacon! Love it. Thanks for your efforts. Regina from the coast of Massachusetts

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

The smell of bacon sure makes it feel like grandma’s house for a lot of people. Thank you for watching!

[@shirley7137]

Save my grease for the chickens also...I make blocks of grease and chicken feed and chill it....cheaper than buying the suet blocks. Start feeding the chickens the blocks around October to put some fat on the chickens and a high caloric diet for winter. They love them.

[@davidward5225]

Cooked some today, works great.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@anonymouslegion4928]

Ty for this recipe carnivore is excellent for ones being I’ve lost 60# in 6 mo and in better shape than I was at eighteen and currently my dream+ weight I thought was impossible. Walking dogs daily and eating carnivores diets changed my health for the best. Subbed and 👍

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Love to hear this! Congratulations on a new healthy life my friend! Thank you.

[@treven21]

When you said this is for the Karen's.....you had me hooked. You guys are great :)

😂🤣

[@LisaMarieMJ]

I’ve been cooking bacon in my pressure cooker for years. Cut in half, throw it in the pot, cook for 5 mins on sealing, release pressure, use a wooden spoon to separate the slices and stir occasionally until the bacon gets done the way you like it and remove it from the pot on to paper towels as it does. Simple. I taught my autistic son to cook it this way so he can cook it without getting spit at by the grease.

[@betterbarbie8665]

Hey love your idea with using the pressure cooker, but do you add water and or do ever get a burn message? thanks

[@karenwhite7656]

Hello from Canada. Just saw your video for the first time. I really enjoyed it.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching! Canada is beautiful country.

[@karenchavez9996]

Wow! What a great hack!! I’m definitely going to try it this week when I cook my bacon

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Awesome! Thank you for watching. Let us know how you like it.

[@texeisnor7412]

My daughter got us into cooking bacon in the oven, on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, 400 degrees for 25 minutes flipping over halfway. Mmmmmm, never tasted better. We collect the grease in a preserve jar.

[@lorenamcgovern]

You can also twist it and it cooks even better

[@judykish1481]

Nice video. I normally cook my bacon in the oven but will certainly try the pot method at some point. We like very crispy bacon too. My husband replaced all my cookware with Le Creuset and I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching!

[@x.y.7385]

I like the oven method too. Minimal cleanup with parchment paper 😊

[@sheldonf]

Very cool! Thank you.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching!

[@PMK494]

I have a set of the Ninja nonstick and been cooking with it for almost 2 years now and they are still as good as day 1.😊

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

We love ours. They are used everyday and look great as well!

[@CarnivoreLeo]

Ever since Dr.Berry showed us this hack, I always cook bacon this way.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

It works awesome!

[@Sweetest_of_Seven]

I just found your channel today (11-02-2023) and I am now a subscriber 😊 I am very curious about the paper towel under the pot though… I have a induction stove as well.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for subscribing! Yes you can use a paper towel if you have an induction stovetop. Check out a video I made about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-0f3WspbdpaM0si=hokEfLPrVtBI0Gd2

[@taraguiness6874]

Thanks so much

[@kralljazz]

This is a god send idea ....I love bacon but the mess cooking has always been a problem for my glass stove top, this looks like a great solution ThankYou! Hello BLT's....

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching and so glad we could help.

[@Alycanj]

I don't eat much bacon but this looks like a great way to do it and yay bacon grease for my eggs. I think if I had a paper towel under the pan it would ignite on my glass top. ty

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Most definitely if your cooktop is electric! Ours is an induction cooktop. I explain why I use a paper towel halfway thru this other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4WVf4yDpJirq6csi=jZs3WEKXd8oP3RVQ

[@cherylgabriel9551]

No 😅

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

@@cherylgabriel9551 🤣 Ya electric and paper towel = 🔥

[@bloodyhands]

This is interesting. I might give it a go. I typically bake bacon. Cooks nice and even and no stirring needed, just set a timer while you cook everything else. I go for 400 and 20 minutes but it depends on your oven.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

We did an oven method here that cut way down on the splatter and popping inside your oven. Bacon in the Oven (No splatter method) vs Pot on the Stovetop method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmKYZqqvhsaFZ8k

[@dawnharris8628]

Yep

[@toddnelson6907]

Thank you so much for the informative video. I recently started eating animal based and my health has improved immensely. Feels like a miracle since I was having to use motorized scooters to go shopping, just a few months ago. Now, many days I feel like I am in my 20's and have the mental clarity to actually live life and accomplish things. I did not have thick cut bacon and it seems to just shrivel up. Will have to try thick cut next time. Yours looks so much better. I was amazed how just a few minutes longer in the pot can really make it turn super crispy very quickly. Cooked up 3 pounds, 10 slices in the oven (that works well, just too little at a time, more tedious, more to clean up, yet was nice and flat), about 1.5lbs for first stove top batch (turned super crispy after a stir, thinking it needed some more time, will have to keep a better eye on it, again guessing because it's thin cut), and the third batch about another 1.5 lbs, cooking at the moment. Hope to stop the cooking at a better texture this time. Was able to stop the cooking at just the right time. It appears to continue to cook a little bit while draining and turned out perfect. You may find using a coffee filter in the mesh screen, of the bacon grease container, saves some clean up time. I used a mesh screen with a handle to let the bacon drain over the pot. It is the kind of strainer with little metal ears or prongs that lets it rest on the edge of the pot. Once it cooled and drained a bit, transferred the bacon to a storage container. Then used the same mesh screen with some paper towels as a filter to pour the bacon grease in to the storage container for that. Do not have to use a sheet pan, paper towels, and parchment paper as you had done. Plus more bacon grease is saved, in my opinion. Thanks again for the all the information. I hope I shared some information that you find helpful as I have found the information you shared extremely helpful.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Love reading this. Glad we could help and I am sure anyone who reads this will derive some good tips, you included from your comment. Thank you so much for watching and the informative tips in your experience with cooking bacon this way. Have a great day!

[@ayleenpereyra8635]

Thanks, I also have an induction but was not aware I can use a I paper towel. Will watch your video now. 😊

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

It is an awesome cooktop. Very energy efficient too because it only uses energy to electrify the magnet which makes the electrons in the pan shake and get hot. So there is no waisted energy heating a metal spiral that transfers heat to the pan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-0f3WspbdpaM0si=hokEfLPrVtBI0Gd2
