I use the raw fat the butcher trims off pork. Works great and when the pan is all seasoned I have some lard.

I get the fattiest...cheapest bacon I can buy.....fry it down in the piece. throw the bacon away, let the piece cool down......rub peanut or granola oil on it.

Throw bacon away? OMG, lol. My 5 year old would have a fit. Lard works good and doesnt smoke like veggie oil. We lard our burgoo kettles before putting them up. Theyre all cast iron too. I still have the 20" skillet my great grandma carried from the east coast in the mid 1800's. Only mark on it is the 16"(? guess he couldnt measure?) stamped in the handle crooked. When seasoned it is slick like a mirror still.

We have to shut our 5 yr old off or he would heat 2 lbs at a sitting. Hes a carnivore though. He'd rather have a steak then a hamburger etc. Only bread he eats he just started eating with peanut butter in the last month.

For supper he ate 3 plates of porksteak, 2 hotdogs and a pile of applesauce. I dont think he'll ever be one of those vegan weirdos! Built like a tank, aint an ounce of fat on him.
