I'm cooking bacon and eggs at least once a week. Someone suggested a large tomato sauce can. I didn't find that, but while I was out running errands this afternoon, I went by the grocery & found a 38 oz can of cut green beans. I'm thinking about making another batch of soup tonight or tomorrow

Good idea to save it - it's expensive to buy - healthier than pork of beef fat, but not as healthy as olive and other vegetable oils. Tastes really good though. There's a bar/restaurant in the east side of Milwaukee (The Horny Goat, if anyone's interested) that does their french fries in duck

Bill, the object is to avoid your suggestion. I'm quite familiar with that but prefer it on rye toast,no jam no added salt. I splurged on a duck breast for Christmas (well, I had a gift certificate for Whole foods, so... ) cooked the yukon gold potatos in my small cast iron pan with the fat s

If you really want a metal coffee can, I believe WalMart's "Great Value" brand of coffee still comes in a metal can, unless they recently changed packaging. I have one of their 33.9 ounce (960g) metal cans sitting on my desk right now. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml

29 oz. cans, usually used for Pie filling, are about 2/3 the height but about the same diameter. I've been buying my coffee as beans for the last few years in bags but the plastic lid from a 16 oz canister of planters peanuts more or less fits on top of the 29 oz. can. On 12/31/2013 6:21 PM, J
