Renee Lee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I use it to roast Brussels sprouts with, but it's also a great fat for making tostones with. (Pan fried plantains) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ooh I am so happy I saved my chicken fat last time I made stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlin Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Can any moderators comment on using schmaltz in cooking? I'm careful to not heat my olive oil to prevent oxidation, and have been afraid to use my chicken fat for the same reason. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 caitlin, you're fine. Most animal fats are saturated enough that you're fine. Poultry fat IS less saturated than others, but you're still good to go. (plus, it's delicious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
