Today, I realized what a waste of money pork bacon is. Ready for the experiment? (No pictures, sorry 
)
Materials needed:
12 oz package of bacon (bought for $2.79)
Frying pan
Pyrex measuring cup OR Canning jar (if you’re gonna save the grease)
Stove (uhm. Duh?)
Babysitter (optional. Can’t have the little ones getting splattered, right?)
Method:
Place the frying pan on the burner, and turn the stove to medium heat. When the pan is hot enough, add the bacon 2 or 3 slices at a time (depending on the size of your pan). As the grease accumulates, pour it off into your measuring cup.
Final Analysis:
In this experiment, I poured 4 ounces of bacon grease into my measuring cup. Since we rarely (if ever) use the grease for cooking, that’s 4 oz into the dump. One third of the purchased weight…in the trash.
This does not please me!

ummm, I hate when people tell me how to cook, but… bacon should be placed in the frying pan while it is still cold… try it, your bacon is less likely to curl up, not sure of the other benefits.
Actually, I wasn’t having a cooking class as much as I was explaining the way I cooked it this time. I really don’t care if the bacon is curly, as long as it’s cooked and on my sandwich
