Cookerati

I’m in love with Bison.  The last couple of years, we’ve bought bison meat at the local Saturday morning farm market.  Bison meat is low in fat and low in cholesterol, but comes out really tender when cooked. 

We had 1/4 lb bison burgers, that we bought from the Ohio Bison Farm. I defrosted the patties and cooked it up on my grill pan. When I was done, I let the fat congeal because I wanted to see how much fat was in the pan.  Usually when I cook burgers there’s a big amount of fat congealed in the pan and there wasn’t a lot.  Still with that little grease you’d think it would be dry, but it wasn’t.  Bison is a little sweeter or maybe richer tasting than beef, but it is really delicious.

I stole one of their brochures with all the stats and facts.  It compares bison, beef, pork and chicken – 3.5 oz.

So, I want you all to know that I recommend Bison for anyone who is thinking about trying it out.  For more information see this link to the National Bison Association.

Here’s a pic of the burger, as well as one of the pan – look at how little grease there is.
