Food safe bacon grease finish?

[Dedpedal]

Sitting here during a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm watching old YouTube videos and one is comparing food safe finishs. I hear all these different oils but nothing on bacon grease. Now I’m set to wonder if there’s anything to it. Has any of y’all ever done an experiment on this? I think it may be in my near future since there’s a whole jar on the stove. I guess I’ll heat it and strain it through a coffee filter and try it on some scraps to see how it does.

if nothing else,I might have something to snack on in the shop. Who doesn’t like bacon?….
Keep it clean.

Never tried it and and while it may work and look good for a bit, but bacon grease, and vegetable oil will eventually become rancid and support the growth of bacteria ... and therefore no longer food safe.

Going Rancid, yes, that was my immediate thought.
You wouldn't want that around.

Good point. I’m sure I’d chew the piece to a nub before it could go rancid.
