Duck Fat, 11.28 oz

Duck fat is an underappreciated cooking fat. Most people tend to shy away from animal fats when cooking, but due to a good balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and a low glycemic load, duck fat is surprisingly not bad for you. When compared to other cooking oils like peanut or canola oils, duck fat is a much healthier option. You can use it for every day cooking - just as you would use butter or any other oil. An added bonus is the uniquely savory but not at all overpowering flavor that this adds to any dish. The fat is surprisingly stable and will last you a good 6 months or more in the refrigerator, plus as an added perk, you can drain it off from whatever you were cooking and reuse it! If you do plan to reuse it though, I recommend straining it through cheesecloth first to remove any particles of meat or other foods. That will help the fat keep longer and prevent it from going rancid. I keep a jar of it around for cooking at all times, and it's my go-to when I need a low simmer or sautee, and especially for a long roast. My favorite application for duck fat is confit, and having an extra few ounces of this lying around is immensely helpful to fill out the dish and ensure that whatever you're cooking is completely submerged for optimal cooking. While some may be put off by the price, remember you can reuse it, and it's much healthier than a lot of cooking oils.

Lard has been around from the day of creation. Only in the last 40 or so years has lard become demonized by corporate politicians trying to fool the public into thinking something natural is bad. On the contrary, lard is more healthy for the human body since it is recognized in the digestive system. Unlike hydrogenated vegetable oils that the body considers foreign. Recently science has proven that natural lard contributes to health. Natural fats are necessary for elasticity of arteries and converting proteins into energy. The WWII generation are among some of the healthiest people living into their 90's. So don't believe the lies of the agenda driven drones. As for taste and saturation...well lard not only contributes to deliciousness of foods, it also seals in the juices and does not soak into the food like vegetable oil. You will consume more fat and unhealthy fat I might add when cooking or frying in vegetable oil than lard any day. And vegetable oils add an oily messy taste to foods, not good. Look up how vegetable oils are made. They're processed with chemicals, because these oils are not extracted like by pressing olives for example (another healthy fat). But Canola oil is not. Canola does not even exist as a vegetable. It is actually rapeseed, an industrial oil use for machinery containing toxic uric acid that is chemically removed so they say... Well the key words, toxic and chemicals should speak volumes. So do the research and re-discover natural healthy lard. And check out footage of years past to see that people in general were thinner while lard was a staple than today with the lies about natural fats.

I have been using this product for a while, periodically. Over the past few months, I've been using it daily as the fat in my food plan. I'm unable to tolerate plant oils for some weird reason. And have many food sensitivities. I refrigerate the jar and use the duck fat even as a spread, melted on rice cakes. It has a delicate flavor. I have tried chicken fat, but the flavor is too strong. One thing I really like is that this is packaged in a glass jar. But this could be a concern regarding shipping. I have been so pleased in how carefully the company packages the jar. I've not had one broken and I just received three jars today! It is really expensive, I must admit. However, I checked out another product that is half the price, but it is in a metal can, which was a red flag to me. And when I went to the website, it didn't exist! I'm really pleased with this duck fat and highly recommend it.

Great for roasting potatoes. Much easier than using the spray can . One can spoon it out of the jar.

Use it to fry my hash browns for Sunday breakfast. Tastes better than anything else including beef tallow and ghee.

Good substitute for butter when frying scallop, chicken or fish. Low melting point. Glass jag came well wrapped. Fast delivery.

this is a reliable, high quality, source that shows up on time and well packed.

exactlt the same as I bought in a specialty store

parfait!

Great smooth flavor I use mine everytime I have fried eggs, Sunnyside up the fat rendering around.

Great for every cooking, great for French fries

Sooo tasty. Good for potatoes. Fast shipping.

Pleasant and came quickly and well wrapped. The product itself is lovely, no after taste or unpleasant smell like others have mentioned? I liked how rapidly it melted and didn't smoke on higher heats. I didn't find it gave more flavor to my food though? Perhaps it tasted a little richer in the mouth, but the flavors pretty much stayed the same. So if your worry is that it may change the taste of your food or add a gamey taste, no worries here. I like the crispiness of my smashed potatoes and the creamy taste of my eggs in the morning.
