Food Tasted Better When Cooked In Lard

[ZipZap]

Got me so hungry I popped two ribeye cap steaks into the cast iron on the grill last night. Used ghee and made some garlic compound butter. If you haven't tried cap steaks, you're missing out.

I stand corrected, then. Central and Northern CA, including the SF Bay area, has zip. They USED to, 40 years ago, but not now.

Back on topic: picked up some wild fresh Pacific vermillion cod today and am gonna batter it up and fry it up in lard for dinner tonight!

I make a package of bacon most weeks on Sunday morning. A few years ago, I started saving at least some of the grease, for the purpose of making it easier to start the next batch without scalding the bacon due to there being no grease in the pan. Everyone in my family bought off on the practice without question, and have complimented me on how crisp the bacon is without overcooking the first few slices.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Truth be told, less than 10% of the bacon grease I stash away in the fridge finds its way into a pan to cook more bacon. The rest? Well, let's just say that everything from omeletes to biscuits has received similar comments, that they are much improved! I will even prep the grill with the grease before cooking steaks and burgers. If I have a good thick slice of a really good bread, I'll spread some of the bacon grease on it, sprinkle some salt and pepper on it, and enjoy immensely!

Feel free to share these tips with your friends, and definitely pass on your uses for bacon grease, as I am anxious to try them!
