...save the fat that it renders, and use it instead of oil or butter next time you sautée something. Delicioso!

Yes, it really is. Of course, you cannot cook everything in it, such a light fish or seafood, but just about any dark meat or most vegetables, you can. You can refrigerate it and it will last a few weeks at least.

Oh, I see. You just eat pure, solidified bacon lard? With a spoon?

True 21st Century Renaissance men cook everything with extra extra virgin olive oil.

Actually, we vary the fat that we use, depending on the cuisine and the dish. Thanks.

Can you deep-fry using it?

In theory. But I've never been able to accumulate more than a half cup at any one time.
