that’s a goldmine of flavor. deglaze with broth/wine etc.

Thank you so much man, took me forever to get the technique down but I finally got it. Legend

[boyantrifonov]

Would it have been possible to use some white wine to deglaze while the pan was still hot?

Then add chicken or beef broth, reduce and add butter to make a delicious pan sauce?

Seems like such a waste to clean these lovely brown bits of bacon.

I do the same first steps. I use SOS pads. They work like a dream!

[arlettasloan]

I often just take a hot skillet and spray it with hot water, put a tiny bit of baking soda and/or dish soap if needed, use s sponge to quickly scrub it out, rinse it off and put it back on the still warm burner (electric range) to dry.

I think vinegar is good enough for most messes like bacon. (vs bar keepers) And I like a blue scrubbie - I use a brush like yours with carbon steel and cast iron (I don't know why I make a different choice there)

[curtismatsune]

I deglaze with just water, no soap, and end up with bacon broth for the dogs to pour over their food. Then I attack the pan with soap, hot water and a scrubber.

I hope you didn't throw out that bacon grease. It's liquid gold.

[dragonspecpc]

Water and vinegar will do this too without the scraping. Let it simmer and dump it out. Finish with a gentle wipe down

Dang, I thought you were going to make a gravy

Bacon grease should not go down the drain.

It's terrible for drains, pipes and sewer systems

[ethelburnett]

If you just a a couple of teaspoons of white vinegar to the boiled water and then let sit for a few minutes, you won’t really need to scrub t like that.

[breiningac]

Make gravy... or use a nonstick pan, or if you need to cook a large amount of bacon, make it in the oven.

[Mrspinky]

You just washed perfectly good seasonings away. Your could have made an amazing gravy with that😢😢

[coopaplayz]

Bro made a 5 step 15 minute process to clean one dish … man needs a woman in his life

[richardweeks]

If you have sensitive skin wear gloves when using Barkeepers Friend.

[traceymorris]

Wow. Too much work. I use a foil covered pan in the oven. No muss no fuss. Crispy bacon 🥓

[Liquid_Mike]

You should NEVER be using cold water to clean any dish, anyways

[brucegwynn]

I've been cleaning my skillet like this for 40 years so what's the trick
