Lard provides a similar richness and high smoke point. It lacks the smoky bacon flavor but works perfectly for frying and sautéing. Add a pinch of smoked paprika to compensate for the missing smokiness.
Animal Fat, Bacon Grease
Bacon grease works similarly with a high smoke point and richness, but adds a smoky pork flavor. Perfect swap for roasting vegetables or frying potatoes.
