How To Render Bacon Grease

The Question Of The Day (QOTD) for Mr. Cast Iron is, "How long does it take to get bacon grease?" The best way to get rendered bacon grease or pork fat is to fry some bacon in a cast iron skillet. The video that we refer to is a Lodge cast iron skillet. When you cook bacon, it starts rendering the fat, which is the grease. What I like to do after cooking bacon is filter it into a container like a glass jar of bacon grease can. The are many uses for it, so saving it is worth doing. Bacon fat is easy to render, and it seasons your cast iron as you cook it in your pan. But the rendered fat can be used not only for seasoning cast iron but also with and in so many other recipes!
