The most serious question.

You already logged the grease when you logged the bacon... so don't worry about it.

Logic tells me that can't be true. Not trying to sound like a dick, but just thinking that if it was in the pan and wasn't consumed, you gotta count it separately. It would mean either taking it off the bacon (which I don't think would be correct) or adding it to the chicken (but not sure how you'd measure that).

There's an entry in the database for this: "Animal fat - Bacon grease"

On a less serious note, did you know you can make cakes with bacon grease? I only recently found this out.

I use bacon grease for almost everything since I always have some in a cup ready to use. I like the slight bacony flavor it adds. Of course if that is not a flavor I want in a certain food I use olive oil or something else.

It *does* have a lowish smoke point though so it isn't useful necessarily for actually frying things.

No. No she didn't.



He didn't either.

They probably did. My non-microwavable bacon is listed as 50g raw, or approx 12g cooked, for 2 slices.

So this is akin to saying that my ground beef nutritional information for raw beef isn't including any fat that would be drained out.

Most bacon does not have a raw listing, only cooked, for the sole purpose of making it look healthier by excluding the drippings from the final count.

All of my bacon - pork or otherwise - lists raw weight. Only the example I gave above and potentially my microwave bacon also lists cooked weight with it. And I've weighed them all raw, they are either the same or close to the listed weight or actually less than the listed weight for the same number of slices (so far mostly just for my back bacon). If the entries were for cooked bacon then the raw slices would weigh more than the serving weight provided.

I actually look at the blue cheese fat that bubbles out of my stuffed squashes while they cook pooling forlornly in the bottom of the pan and think 'dammit, I logged that!!' (soz, vegetarian, I have no bacon stories).

I am sorry for your loss.

The struggle is real.

Wait.... we're not supposed to drink the bacon grease?
