Bacon UpⓇ Bacon Grease for Outdoor Deep Frying, Fish Frying, and Cooking Chicken Wings

Fantastic product. It's actual bacon fat & works great to add additional flavor/seasoning to your foods. It last such a long time. I gave a 2 lb butter bowl of it to my daughter for seasoning her beans & greens & I've had it nearly 6 months and have only used a little over 1/2 the bucket for my family of 9. It's maintained it's flavor without weird taste variable experienced by other brands. I don't refrigerate it as bucket is too large. It does liquidfy some in the center but I don't mind that. I use a 1/2 cup measuring scoop to dip it out for frying pork chops, potatoes , & eggs as well as for adding as (oil/butter) replacement in my cornbread, biscuits, green beans, great northern or pinto beans, and greens. Wonderful value for big families. I highly recommend!

I buy this for my stepmom every few months. She enjoys the quality and how far it goes. Not sure what she uses so much bacon grease for! 😂 From what she tells me, the taste is good, the value could be better but we haven't found anything better. It's a little rough during the summer months, especially in the south. It has leaked a few times that way.

Bacon UpⓇ Bacon Grease is a handy, flavorful option for grilling enthusiasts who love cooking on their Blackstone griddle. This 100% authentic bacon grease offers a great way to enhance the flavor of food while providing a smooth and even cooking surface. Flavor and Versatility The rich, savory taste of bacon comes through strongly in anything you cook with Bacon Up. Whether you’re frying eggs, making burgers, searing steaks, or cooking vegetables, it adds a delicious, smoky essence that you can’t replicate with regular oils. Its versatility extends beyond breakfast items, as it pairs well with almost anything you'd normally cook on a griddle. Performance on the Blackstone On the Blackstone, Bacon Up performs beautifully. It melts quickly and coats the surface evenly, providing a non-stick layer that helps prevent food from sticking to the grill. The grease has a high smoke point, which is perfect for high-heat grilling, ensuring that your food cooks evenly without burning. It’s also excellent for seasoning the Blackstone, helping maintain the griddle’s non-stick surface over time. Convenience The product comes in a well-sealed tub, making it easy to scoop out the amount you need without any mess. It’s a great time saver for those who don’t want to go through the trouble of rendering and storing bacon grease themselves. For bulk cooking sessions or for those who want a consistent bacon flavor on demand, it’s a fantastic option. Drawbacks One potential drawback is that it can be quite rich, and if overused, it may overpower more delicate dishes. Additionally, while it adds an incredible bacon flavor, not everyone might want that taste in every meal. Also, because it is bacon grease, it’s not the healthiest cooking fat, so moderation is key if you’re trying to watch your fat intake. Final Verdict Bacon UpⓇ Bacon Grease is a flavorful, convenient, and effective cooking fat for Blackstone users. It delivers consistent results and adds a unique, savory element to your dishes. If you’re a fan of bacon flavor and love cooking on a griddle, this product is a great addition to your kitchen arsenal. Just be mindful of how much you use to avoid overwhelming your dishes.

I had never heard of Bacon-Up before, but saw a reel of a guy cooking his recipes on Facebook. Unable to locate this product at any of my local grocery stores, I found it on Amazon and ordered it. Very handy to have on hand.

What can be said negatively about bacon grease? Nothing, as far as I know! My dad, 88, grew up in rural Kentucky near where we live still, and bacon grease from frying bacon was a cooking staple in his family kitchen. We don't cook bacon as much anymore, so we usually don't have a stash of it to use but we still like to have the flavor available. Bacon Up is the perfect solution. We get bug-eyes from some people when they realize we get it in 9-lb buckets, but this is the third time we've gotten one. They usually last about a year for us. We keep it out on the counter and it has never turned bad or spoiled. Dad uses it in his cornbread and to grease his cornbread skillet, as well as for flavoring green beans and other things. He once used it to make the biscuit part of a cobbler and I have to say that for me, it was not great. But it made as good a quality biscuit dough, with a good rise, and he at least really like the flavor. So, experiment! The fact that it lasts so long unrefrigerated obviously means that it's been clarified and processed to remove the ingredients that might spoil, so not the same thing as bacon grease from a frying pan, but the flavor is the same. It says it is "triple filtered", and while it is not listed in the ingredients the description says it has a small amount of the antioxidant BHA to preserve freshness. I am not bothered by this but I have seen reviews complaining about it. To me, if you're going to eat bacon grease you aren't a health fanatic anyway. We're definitely not. We don't fry everything in it or use very much at a time, but the flavor can't be replaced with any other. It's essential for country cooking. The bucket the 9 lb version comes in is sturdy itself, with a tight lid and a handle. When we empty one, we repurpose the bucket for something else. The storage capacity is useful and it's great to have good functionality for the packaging as well as the product.

It is bacon grease. Good taste and melts down quickly in the pan and in the container unless you refrigerate it. I don’t refrigerate mine but whether liquid grease or solid grease it does what it is supposed to do. Adds flavor and adds a nice nonstick coating to the pan. I also use it for most of my cooking and not just steak or chicken but burgers and hotdogs and even pastas like mac & cheese, Alfredo and even some hamburger helper box meals.

Good quality and price. Very convenient.

Great for a subtle addition of flavor and also a crispy texture
