You can also get really good results just doing this stuff in a pan.
Save the fat in the pan. i.e. to make an omlette, I saute' onion,
mushroom, red pepper, some ham in this fat and put it in an omlette.
Then add some havarti cheese. This is really tasty. Probably not
very healthy though. Although the Wall Street Journal had an article
a couple of years ago which stated that lard had health benefits. Go
figure.
