qrd on duck fat vs butter

>> No.20396417

You can just use chicken fat from a rotiserrie chicken and you won't have to pay $20 for some faggots to put fat into a jar for you lmao.
Butter is kino too, as long as it isn't SHIT TIER.

It's pure fat with no solids so it won't burn as easily. Brings a distinctly duck flavor, so while it's great for savory dishes it's terrible for sweets. It comes from ducks and not milk.

Your qrd is that duck fat roasted potatoes are basically an orgasm.

I've never cooked with rendered duck fat but whenever i get a whole duck or duck breast/legs I save the trimmed fat and freeze it to use for pan frying things. I put all the fat hunks in a freezer bag and will use an old shitty steak knife to carve off little pieces. Usually 2 or 3 cranberry sized pieces on low heat until rendered will grease a pan really well, it has a nice peppery kind of taste to it that is nice for frying mushrooms and greenbeans

Don't use duck fat for anything other than confit de canard.

>> No.20397558

The thing with duck fat is that it smells REALLY GOOD cold but when it's heated it's pretty much like lard except 20x as expensive. It's also expensive for no reason, you can just collect fat from meat (any animal) and use that.

Butter is good for cooking too, just clarify it first so it doesn't burn.

Proper extracted fats are more pure than the fat from parures. Also here goose or duck fat cost like the same as butter if you buy them from a poultry butcher although they're pretty niche.

ducky fat has a greater MUFA content if you're worried about eating too much saturated fats

The bits are what improves the flavor. You can still run the fat through three coffee filters to clean it up.

its like bird lard
delicious, great for high heat cooking, especially roasting, most jarred products like in the OP pic are expensive compared to lard, but it does have a nice flavour, and i highly recommend making sarladaise potatoes once or twice, its a genuinely wonderful preparation that highlights just how good duck fat and decent potatoes can be
