We eat bacon frequently in our household. I mean, seriously, what doesn’t bacon pair well with?! When we have parties, I serve it with chocolate, cheese and wine. Yum! I even use bacon as a gateway meat for my clients who are switching from vegetarianism/veganism to eating meat again. Works like a charm! So, why not get some fun bacon inspired gifts for he bacon lover in your family? I looked around and came up with a list of some of my favorite bacon makin’ tools and a few bacon odds and ends. I hope you find something here for the bacon lovers in your life!
Lets get started with some of my favorite kitchen tools that makes bacon prep a breeze…

When my husband fails to use this during his bacon preparation….he gets to sleep in the garage that night! Kidding of course, but seriously anyone who makes bacon with any regularity needs this handy tool.

This is one of those gifts that you can buy (thoughtfully) for your husband and then enjoy for yourself. My husband got it for his birthday!

The fatty acid profile in lard it great, I bet it would be excellent in chapstick. But, sadly this is not made with actual lard.
