Best Oil to Season a Griddle!

[pkadare]

There's a lot of debate about the best oil to use to season a griddle. The answer though, is obvious; bacon oil. Nothing works better!

It's smelling mighty nice in your backyard this morning

Given this much bacon, you can probably imagine how much grease wound up in the collector. Someone with 4 legs and a tail decided to completely clean it out while I was otherwise occupied. Pretty sure she's not going to have any problems pooping for the next couple of days. 🐕‍🦺 💩

Better watch where you step in the backyard!

You do want to keep an eye on your dog if this happens. They're not good with large amounts of fat and get pancreatitis much more easily than we do. I'm guessing yours was OK considering this was three days ago.

What a little oportunivore! Thats got to be a highlight this week!

Willow must have been feeling guilty because she just gave back all of the grease. Good thing we are outside. Yuck! 🤮🤢

Lucky, mine like to wait until they come inside. Glad she gave it back though. Straight grease can cause pancreatitis, which can be life threatening. Pancreatitis is one of the more common issues I treat when dogs get into the BBQ.

Ouch

What a waste of space😁 You could have gotten four more slices of bacon on the griddle!

Can you even imagine what it would be like for a dog to be in the presence of all that smell? Must have driven her nuts.

Bacon works very well. More than one way to do it, but seasoning with bacon is certainly the most rewarding!
