I just cooked the duck that was in my freezer and rendered the fat so that it won't burn or spatter when it's heated.
To render, simply simmer the fat, in a tallish pot at very low heat and it will sizzle and pop like crazy. Keep simmering until the sizzling and popping stop. Then the beef fat can be used to cook or fry. I'm sure oven fries made with beef fat are going to taste good.
Thanks - I was curious if I could render it down - I'll try this!
lots of people here do not understand the mechanics of fat metabolism, including saturated fat.
I'd much rather have french fries cooked in beef tallow than the crap Canola they use and tout as "heart healthy". Nothing could be further from the truth.
Well, I don't have a dog so that's out. I'm in the camp that thinks fats have been demonized, so I didn't want to discard it purely on that regard. The stock comes out rich and flavorful after roasting the bones, so I was hoping for a way to use the fat as well. I put it in the freezer for now, I think I will use it next time I make a gravy or roux. Thanks for all the replies!
All good cooking/critter treat ideas. Do you have cast iron pans you can season with it? I use virtually any meat fat for that... bacon, sausage, etc.
Yum, all of the cooking suggestions and for the critters! Fat is not bad for you anymore, carbs are. And to think it only took mainstream medics over a century to figure it out.
Soft drinks, Oreos, Pop Tarts, and Frito Lay will kill you faster than McDonald's.
Save the beef fat and grind it in with the moose meat for mooseburgers. Mooseburger is a little dry without a little added fat.
That's funny. My first thought was to add it to ground venison. Used to live in the boonies with a hunter man in a previous life.
Then I thought about those heart healthy hushpuppies I ate in Tennessee when I lived there. Balls of cornmeal deep friend yum! LOL!
Sounds like your best bet is to make birdseed cakes for the winter with it. Would actually make nice Christmas gifts.
