Bear meat
Allyn T:
You can render it fox and then add it to the pan for cooking when you need it. Make sure all meat is cooked well done. Black bears carry trigonosis but cooking it well kills it. 90% of trigonosis cases in the USA come from black bear meat
BowEd:
I'd trim the fat off just like any other meat to eat.Render the fat for use later.
I can only relate eating bear to eating coon and that's what I do with them.
Sharp freezing your meat to below -20 F. they say helps but cooking it to above 160 degrees before eating it is recommended.
Stoker:
Bear meat makes great burger, culets and the back legs for roasts or hams
BowEd is right Sharp freeze and cook well like pork
Thanks Leroy
Fox:
Okay thanks guys! so why are you supposed to trim the fat off? why can't you leave it on and cook the meat in that fat? does the fat go bad? how do you do that with like ribs that are supposed to be fatty?
Russ:
Cook the meat WELL! Bear isn’t like deer or cow where you only need to sear the outside. Bear meat can have parasites that need to be killed before consumption. As long as the bear meat reaches a good internal temperature you’ll be fine,
Bear fat is used for many different things. It’s not that bear fat is not good, in fact it’s great eating (I personally think) but you’ll get more use out of it from rendering it out and using the oil for other things!
Bear burgers sounds great!!!
