We eat a LOT of bacon around here, 8 to 10 lbs on a good week and frying it has always been a chore. So I took to the World Wide Web looking for alternatives.
FOUND ONE!
This is 2 lbs at once. Cut strips in half and put it in a stock pot on medium low heat. Stirring every few minutes
Starting to get a little color, and steaming as the water boils out.
Water is just about gone and the fat is starting to render.
All the water is gone and now it is basically deep frying in its own fat.
GLORIOUS!!!
Once cooled the fat is ready to take out and restock!
Just passing the tip along. I’m going to try 4 lbs at once in a couple of days and see how that goes!
