Big oil doesn’t want you to know this but you can cut motor oil with bacon grease (stay below a 4:1 ratio if the overnight temp might drop below 65, otherwise 3:1 is fine)

I don’t make much bacon (though BLT season was great this year) so I just keep mine in a little glass Tupperware in the fridge. I use it to make my refried beans mostly

i cook with it enough where i'm always desperate for some, but i drastically cut back on the amount of bacon i bought after bidenflation. i probably buy two pounds a year now

i forgot about salad dressings. if you split it 50/50 with olive oil it makes a fantastic vinaigrette

i never deep fried stuff because i didnt want to have to dispose of so much oil then one day i realized its not that dirty and now i fry chicken in oil then i save the oil in a jar and fry stuff like tofu for stirfry in that and use the bits of cooked flour for gumbo which i need to start on soon now that its getting cold enough for soup

maybe the solution is to change the order in which you fry - cook fish with reused oil from frying tofu rather than the other way around

I only ever buy bacon (and pretty much all meat) when it has been discounted 50% due to being close to the sell by date

save every drop of fat from the cooking though

I use "waste" oil to caramelize onions in mass. Got a pan with some oil in it? Have some rendered fat from cooking? Remaining oil from other frying? Caramelize onions.

you filter the oil so there isn't solid debris floating in it, that's the secret.

i dont do a lot of deep frying or bacon-grease frying because the recipes we like most can be done pan-fried or baked. keeping that much grease around for non-consistent recipes just doesn't make sense, even though we also eat bacon sometimes

Only quality first run oil for me :lofty:

Mostly it is due to how infrequently I fry foods, by the time I’d get to reusing oil it would definitely be stale and impart an old taste to the food

I like to keep it classic with ground beef, bacon, onion, and cabbage. Feel free to omit the beef and substitute more bacon.

As much as I like sauerkraut I feel like the meatless ones are a cheat tbh

I have a bunch of tomatoes I don’t think will ripen in time as the days get shorter and the cool rainy weather moves in. To that end, I want to try fried green tomatoes which I’ve never made, with a remoulade (also never made). Been reading various online recipes and it seems pretty easy, but wondering if the smart folks in here have any suggestions

put them on a shelf somewhere with normal room temperatures, maybe in a paper bag. they will ripen. not, like, well, but they'll ripen

I pick all my green tomatoes right before the frost and I usually have slowly ripening tomatoes for sandwiches over the coarse of two months or so

There is a green tomato gazpacho that's pretty good too. I made it a couple years ago for similar reasons.

if one has space the entire plant can be uprooted and left somewhere it doesn’t freeze and they’ll continue to vine ripen.

If it's time to cook and I don't know what I want to have when I'm done, I start by caramelizing an onion. You have to start figuring out what you're doing pretty quickly if things are already on the stove.

Alas I have a relatively small house with very limited storage, I don’t really have room to let them vine or bag ripen. Green tomato gazpacho is a great idea though! Thanks!
