This *is* real bacon grease- so it depends on how strongly your "old fashioned" bacon grease was cured and smoked, because they all vary somewhat by manufacturer, i.e. some are saltier, smokier, etc. I can say that it definitely tastes bacony.

I enjoy using this bacon grease a great deal. I've ordered it a couple of times now. I use it to flavor beans, make pancakes and in other recipes.

It's doesn't leave quite as strong a bacon flavor as what I remember from my granny's cooking. But it's just a small difference in intensity. Presumably because of the filtering. The flavor itself is spot-on.

It is a very clean pure bacon grease. I use it in green beans, to fry cabbage, in turnip greens, or anything else I like a light smoky flavor.

All I can say is try it you'll like it. It is as close to bacon grease as possible. It's a little messy but I think you'll like it

It is really close. I've used it several times to flavor green beans and brown beans; as well as fry pork chops. I really like this product.

This IS real old fashion Bacon Grease. The only difference is that it is clean. You will be able to tell as soon as you open the jar. The product is great and the company is great. I have ordered it three times already!

I don't know what they are made of, but it looks like Teflon. The TV commercial shows the bacon sliding right off after cooking. Perhaps someone else has other thoughts on this.

I don't notice the taste that much, but I'm pretty good about stomaching health food. I currently put it my shakes. I put one scoop of Garden of Life powder, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, a handful of frozen berries, and pina colada flavored fish oil. It still tastes healthy and green, but it's pretty good.

no, go for the old fashioned way of cooking it. It is not a good product and takes a lot of off and on to get it to cook. I put mine in the garbage. Bacon was like jerky, terrible.

Fry your bacon first and use a little of the grease to flavor the eggs. Tastes good.

Never tried it, but I suppose so. We have been using Greens+ for over 20 years with great results. Anyone for a green burger?

One of the reviewers says something to the effect of just dumping it out at the end. So yes the bacon grease should go into the bottom part for you to keep or get rid of at your discretion.

yes, as a matter of fact the bacon is more fully cooked with a turntable. at least that is my experience.

Sorry I only bought it once but at the time I was very concerned about the same thing and wanting to be sure it was REAL olive oil. It was very good but I'm using Olive oils that real food bloggers have recommended and sourcing them in my local food co-op.

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

they recommend bacon drippings.. i got a tip to use a cup of bacon drippings and 1/4 cup of peanut or veg. oil.. you just paint everything inside the grill with it.. even the outside (wipe off excess)..

I don't save grease from deep frying. I just save bacon drippings to use for flavor when I cook. I use it or fresh bacon for green beans, baked beans, soup and anything that is bland. I use bacon drippings and fresh cut organic onions for flavor.

OMG my wife grew up on this and so did her mother and Grammy. so when we found it discontinued we still had a few packets as we used to buy it by the case. so we tested and tried and read the ingredients and tested and tried and came up with a GREAT recipe that is a perfect match, and we did a side by side taste test with a real package (remember I said we have a few still) and VOILA its great so now we just use the new recipe, and feel like we have not lost anything. micky dot geo at yahoo. have a good one.

We experimented and fried some bacon and used this product...the fried bacon was crispy and greasy, the microwaved bacon was crispy and not greasy. Both I and a friend are in LOVE with this product....no splatters, no greasy clean-up, just simply pour grease into a container. Only drawback is you can't cook as much bacon at once....and I found for a full rack 5 - 6 minutes perfect. NO, this bacon is not limpy! I highly recommend it and so thankful my friend found it in a catalog. If you have any further questions...let me know.

Yes you can and you cook bacon to the done ness you like. I like mine extra crispy, to the point that when hold it to the extreme very end, the weight of the bacon will make it snap off. For 2 pcs of bacon that's about 1 1/2 minutes. You simply adjust your time to the way you like your bacon. Different thickness bacon requires different cooking time. I prefer thin sliced. Highly recomend, and use bacon grease for other recipes.
