Getting sick of grease

Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of all the grease left over
from cooking low carb. It's starting to look disgusting. Can anyone suggest
some cooking methods that will still satisfy a decent fat requirement but
not have me 409 my kitchen daily?

There's no need for grease if you don't want it.  Choose leaner meats,
use less cooking oil (or Pam spray), and get your oils through salad
dressings, cream, nuts, avocados, etc.

cover your frying pans and make the burners burn less hot.

DH cooks like a house afire. Burners way up, grease all over the
place. Thankfully, though, he'll clean it up every few days. I think
it's a guy thing with fire. You should see his charcoal grills. ;-)

I have become a lot more cleanly after I got married. I rotisseried a
leg of lamb yesterday on out outdoor grill, and it did not mar with
even one drop of anything.

Our grill has a built in rotisserie, and I put a pan underneath to
catch dripping liquid.

I admit I am a member of the order of the too hot burners club. Never
considered that. We just buy lots of 409.

hot burners cause formation of cancer causing heterocyclic amines. A
bad idea.

Seems like every week something new causes cancer, if I took it all
seriously I would be like Howard Huges collecting all my body waste in jars
and sleeping in a hyperbolic chamber! HAH!

there is nothing new about heterocyclic amines. Their existence and
carcinogenic effects have been well established decades ago.

> and sleeping in a hyperbolic chamber! HAH!

you do not have to go either extreme. Just reduce the heat setting on
your burners. Maybe add a bit of water while frying, for some time.

But see:

Plus, why are you on a low carb diet, when the link between fat intake and
heart disease was established decades ago?

Maybe it's because I put no in weight in vegan spin doctors or maybe because
it works where other methods havent. Speaking of which why are you here in
the first place? I mean seriously is it a personal crusade to educate the
masses on eatting nothing but soy? Im really sick of you veggie f.ckers who
rant and rave that meat is evil and spew crap about animals being treated
cruel. The really funny part is you post a link saying X causes cancer when
next week a new article will come out saying X prevents cancer. When are
idiots like you going to learn it really doesnt matter in the end what
causes cancer, you get it or you dont. It's that simple. Do you think only
asbestos workers and smokers get lung cancer? Do you think if they would
have ate an orange they would have prevented it? A little common sense and
understanding of scare media would do people some good. It's also funny you
want to argue "medical facts" that were establishd years ago must be the
golden rule. Thus meaning new research must be moot. Hell in that case we
should all just bore a hole in our head whenever we get a headache to let
the demons out.

I do not think that Bob is a vegetarian spin doctor.

They have no idea what they are talking about, in thet instance. The
cornerstone of finding out which foods are carcinogenic is a concept
that if something causes  lot of cancers in very high doses, it also
causes cancers at low doses, just less.

You are trying to prove me wrong by analogy, but use a wrong analogy.

I micro my bacon, sausage etc.  For the meats, pick lean cuts, and I use
a George Foreman contact grill what grease there is goes in a little
dish that I save to make the dogs their cookies out of.  No muss or fuss
in my kitchen, I never pan fray that is the big mess creator.
Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 20:09 GMT
Hey a George Foreman grill is a great idea, I never thought of that before.
I've been so used to cooking almost entirly in these big 20 pound cask iron
skillits i've had for years.

Grease?  What are you looking?  I'm never bothered with grease....

But I suggest you get a roaster and bake or broil...let the grease run off.
Don't fry.
Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 19:58 GMT
No, of course i dont add grease to what i'm cookings, it just naturally
comes from the meats like bacon, sausage, beef, etc etc.

Perhaps you'll want to switch to chicken, fish, and tofu for a while then.  
Get your fats via olive oil on your salad, avocado, nuts, etc.

Hormel precooked bacon, 60 slices -- price goes up and down
periodically, from $6.50 to $7.50  at Sam's club.  
Other brands I tried were much too salty, but the Hormel is great,
and no mess.  

Get a splatter screen for your frying pan.

Put a lid on the pan while you are cooking.  They make screen type lids if
you want to let the moisture out but not the fat.  Here's one:

Broil instead of fry.  Or, add good fats (like olive oil) on salads, and
eat more chicken/fish/lean pork.

this is what I do and I don't have a problem with messy grease...it goes to
the bottom of the pan...none gets airborne to cause odor, either.

one can even cook sausage and bacon in the oven.....

I can't relate to having gobs of leftover grease so I may be
qualified to answer this question.  I don't eat bacon so there's a
start.  Also, I use a covered skillet to cook my meats such as
boneless chicken breasts and thighs.  For fat requirement, a large
portion of it is cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil in salad greens.
Also, poaching fatty types of fish is very easy to do as well.

I never could stand meat fat (except for that yummy crispy skin on
chicken after it's baked).

Best of luck with whatever you choose.
