Chill and Store Bacon Fat in the Fridge

Okay, no, we're not serving the bacon fat. We're just storing it in the fridge. Next time you want to sauté something, try using a dollop of this. The other night I was making rice, and I dropped a spoonful of it into the water right before I covered the pot to let it simmer. Genius.

That's it — perfect bacon that fits in your baking pan and your mouth. Also, other than the fat that's absorbed by the paper towels, not an ounce goes to waste. Which is good, because with bacon this perfect, you won't want to waste a single bite.
