I love bacon fat and make my own bacon which is quite easy, really. It takes 10 days of salting, and 4 to 6 hours of smoking, but you end up with amazing bacon that you can not buy, cheap too. The recipe comes from the wonderful book Charcuterie. I have the parts of a souse vide machine coming next week and will definitely try your recipe. Thanks for the wonderful pictures and recipe.

That's definitely one of the top 3 things that's come out of my sous vide supreme in the last 6 months. Even my girlfriend that hates pork loved it. Your recipe fits my style of 2 minutes to prep and 5 minutes to grill finish at the end.

I'll have to try this recipe and your Ribeye one. I've done ribeyes myself and they're fantastic. One other benefit of Sous Vide you may be interested in is the ability to (if done correctly) preserve amazing meals for up to a month in the fridge, ready to go in about 10 minutes whenever you feel like them. I posted about it on my blog if you're interested: http://www.nicklavezzo.com/?p=292 Keep the Sous Vide goodness coming :) I’m just getting into Sous Vide myself – I didn’t have the patience to build a custom machine, I just bought the Polyscience immersion circulator one from Williams Sonoma (it’s pretty awesome though).

The pork chop is good, but the tenderloin is definitely a huge improvement sous vide with bacon grease. To ensure moisturey goodness I used an amount equal to about a 1/4 of your jar! Of course, most of the fat doesn't sink in and will poor back out when done. I have 1 critique of your recipe- it doesn't seem to make sense to trim the excess fat (especially before cooking), especially given that you are going to add more fat too it. It is a shame so many people are influenced by the "saturated fat is evil" dogma- there really isn't any good evidence for this (read Good Calorie, Bad Calorie by Gary Taubes if you want a review of the evidence).
