Duck fat is AWESOME to fry with. It makes fried stuff taste 10x better. It's magic.

If you see Peking Duck on the menu of a good restaurant, order it.

Or you could buy a duck and try cooking it at home. Rendering all the fat (if roasting at home) can smoke up the kitchen unless you slow-roast it. Most people's favorite part of a duck is the skin, but only if it's crispy—which is the real reason to render all the fat out from under the skin. But the rest of the duck is tasty too. It's gamier than chicken (psh, what isn't?) and just **noel** tasty.

I looove crispy duck skin.  dipped in duck sauce.  I'm just kidding.  I like plum sauce.

 

I've never tried frying anything in duck fat.  Does fried chicken taste even better when fried in duck fat?  Pork and vegetable egg rolls must be heaven when fried in duck fat. 

 

 

duck fat.

"Wild" Duck tastes like grass! the duck we by in stores can be traced back to a flock of ducks brought here

 a century ago. to really get the best out of your Roast duck, "LIGHTLY" score the skin into the fat layer

 NOT DOWN TO THE MEAT! and Boil , Yes Boil for 5-6 mins, to loosen the fat. remove, dry the bird

 and roast, drawing off the fat as it accumulates in the roasting pan. depending on the size of the bird

 the fat content can be as much as a qt. jar! Duck Fat, as with Chicken fat  and "Properly" rendered Lard

 Is actually lower in saturated Fats, and Colesterol that Butter, or Margerine, I'm not saying they are true "healthy"

 Fats, But there is No Need to Fear them, as was once thought.

So I had some Peking Duck tonight.  It was alright.  Not that good because the skin wasn't as crispy as I desired but pretty good nonetheless.

Mayo is gross. It tastes bad. And it doesn't help that I always feel like I am putting **noel** on my sandwiches. Which could be good I guess, but in the case of mayo it is not.
