chelle81! Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 So I bought some duck fat - do I just use it like I would use olive oil? I tried to cook meat with coconut oil and it is so awful - I couldn't even eat what I made - YUCK! So I'm hoping cooking with animal fat will be better ... but want to make sure that I have the right idea before I ruin more crazy expensive meat! Help!

Susan W Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yes just use it like any cooking fat. I love to slather it on a whole chicken before roasting. Also, you could try refined coconut oil. It has very little if any flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I hate the taste of coconut oil for cooking too!...I made eggs with it once and almost puked, so gross! I can't find any of the fancy refined flavourless stuff so I cook with tallow or lard I render myself but I'm sure that duck fat is yummo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielle Perez Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I just made my first batch of bone broth and am anxious to try it. I scooped out all the fat but now don't know what to do with it. Do you cook with it? or just toss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I toss the broth fat. I just don't care for the flavor. If you are making broth with organic non-factory farmed animals, feel free to cook with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I buy the refined coconut oil because my husband doesn't like coconut either and he eats his eggs when I cook them in it. I love coconut, always have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I had to get the refined for my hubby too to say he is not a coconut fan is putting it mildly! I also cook with ghee a lot. Eggs are so yummy in ghee! I also save the fat from broth and cook with that. I skim the fat early on in the broth making process so it doesn't oxidize. Any fat that is left over though, I toss. I also mix the broth fat in my dog's food for 'gravy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I absolutely adore the fat i get from my bone broth. i just sliced a couple of large leeks sauteed them in it added loads of sliced brussel sprouts, stir that all around, add about a cupful of the bone broth, put the lid on and steam it and at the very end, cook on high, uncovered till liquid evaporates. I could seriously eat that with anything. My question is, how long does the fat off the bones keep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 My question is, how long does the fat off the bones keep? Most generic answer of the day: Until it's bad. Seriously, though, give it a sniff every once in awhile. If it still smells fine, it's probably just fine. Unless (like my hubs) you have no sense of smell. Then ignore my answer in favor of something sciency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
