The article discusses the use of bacon grease to season cast-iron cookware, particularly in the non-stick potential of cast iron. Bacon grease can add flavor to the surface of a cast-irned cast iron, providing it with a protective coating and preventing it from rusting. Bacon fat can create a savory layer on the surface rich with umami flavor and enhance the flavor of the pan. It also has a 325-degree Fahrenheit smoke point, which is almost as high as other fats like butter or coconut oil. However, bacon is cured with salt and sugar, which means the grease won't be free from residues that could burn.
