I have spent some time Googling uses for hamburger grease since you created this thread.

I have seen results where some will use it to saute vegetables, but that's about it. Otherwise, uses for hamburger grease elsewhere on the internet pretty much are paralleled here, silly or not.

Hamburger grease has no use as a human food product. None that I could find anyway. If you're serious about using it, try a bit of experimentation yourself if you're not liking the suggestions you're getting here.

There are processes for clarifying grease to prepare it for uses such as soap. & the making of the soap itself will change the chemical composition, & thus the odor, of the grease . .. . . .

The sad fact is that, as food, hamburger is some of the lowest quality meat out there (unless you specifically shop for otherwise), especially if you're buying cheap hamburger. & the resulting fat is just not very good for cooking, for many palates ... . .

Animal fats that are regarded as excellent for cooking are: most pork (especially salt pork & bacon & that kinda thing); chicken fat; goose & duck fat . . ... . Even better cuts of beef are not usually noted for the utility of their drippings, outside of gravy for the roast . .. ..

Well maybe not cooking cooking, that's probably not the right word, but flavoring rice, or something, stuff like that.

Yuck..

Its normally thrown away.. because thats what it IS ~ garbage~

The only time i ever use mine.. for anything OTHER then going into the garbage.. is while its still hot.. i might pour some of it over the cat and dog food. They seem to love it.. and its not like an every day occurance.. so.. i think it helps with their "coats".

All it is... is pure disgusting fat.. which isnt going to do anything for EITHER of you.. but supply empty callories. Theres no food value.. no nutrition.

The flavor is one of the most important qualities of a food grease.

The real question is, do you like the flavor of hamburger grease? If you do, what we have to say won't matter much to your taste buds, right? If you like the way it tastes, go ahead & use it like you would any other flavorful fat -- cook with it, put it on rice, whatever it is you'd do with butter or margarine or olive oil . . . . . .

Fat is necessary for health; yes, ground beef is "lesser" than some other grades, but is still more healthy than most of what passes for food nowadays.

Fat does not clog arteries. Trans-fat, yes, but not animal fat.

My grandma always saves the grease from bacon for things like cornbread and such, but as far as hamburger grease that's pretty damn fatty and kinda yuccky for you. If your trying to go the healthy route this one you want just want to take the loss and let it go.

Actually it is a pretty tough question. While I would never give up my beloved bacon grease, hamburger isn't quite the same. Bacon grease imparts a good flavor to what is fried in it, but not so with hamberger grease.

One of the best things about bacon grease is that it can withstand quite high temperatures, you might find the same true of hamburger grease. At the higher temperature you might actually be able to use it to fry something. If you use a pretty high heat, not very much of it is going to get into your food.

Funny though, this is a good subject because I have taken to buying the cheapest hamburger I can find. All that high class low fat stuff tastes like sawdust, or more aptly put, has the texture of sawdust. For the best results cooking meat, it needs grease and salt. But the thing is not all of it makes it to your plate. That is crucial with the bacon grease as well. Maybe you could try frying some potatoes in it. Of course you drain them just like anything else. Even too much olive oil can wreck the food, this stuff is bound to be much worse.

While I don't think hamburger grease would be very healthy, it should not be as bad as margarine or shortening, which are both hydrogenated. But note, you just use it as a vehicle for the heat, after it has done it's job you don't want to eat it.

People do convert deisel engines to run on used cooking oil, which is picked up at many restaurants. Perhaps they can use hamburger grease as well ?

That's about all I can think of now. Maybe something else will come to me.

I simply do not get greasy ground beef. I kinda like getting value for my dollars.

My cat and the next door cat- otherwise it is sealed up and thrown away. Moderate amounts wont hurt a cat. Saves on cat food costs.

i avoid it completely by purchasing ground sirloin or grinding my own meat. of course you could go the mcdonald's route and prepare fries in it instead if you're wanting to be adventurous.
