Bacon fat is one of those things you shouldn’t throw right away. It has so many great uses in the kitchen, you’ll be surprised. So many different meals can be prepared with it, all you need is extra imagination.

Popcorn Will Taste Much Better

If you have some leftover bacon fat, you should definitely spice up your popcorn with it. All you need to do is to melt the fat in a pot and once it’s heated add the popcorn kernels.

Cook Pancakes

Instead of cooking the pancakes in your regular oil of choice you can use the bacon fat you have in the fridge. It’s such a great flavor, especially if you plan on having them with bacon in the morning.

Cook the Veggies

Next time you’re preparing veggies, skip the olive or coconut oil. This fat will literally upgrade the way your favorite vegetables taste. It’s an amazing idea for people who are obsessed with bacon but are not huge on veggies.

Add to Soups

Every single soup can become much more delicious if you add just a tiny bit of the fat you have left. Why not use it and have it as your special cooking secret that everyone will love?
