I render pork fat for confit. It can get a little slippery. Never tried beef confit.
Did you add a cup of water before starting? If not, try that next time for a superior product. |

No because we trim off that fat anyway. I used some dried chunks of spices and montreal. I can't remember the name of the seasoning that had chunks of garlic, onion, other stuff.

I believe the water serves a couple of purposes. 1) Spreads the heat evenly around the fat and helps speed the rendering.
2)Keeps the heat below ~212 degrees and keeps the fat from smoking and any meat bits from browning, leading to a cleaner tasting fat. Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

hmmm, now everyone is going to know what those mystery tubs of off-white stuff are in my freezer. Until now, they have been afraid to ask.

I have been reading up on it, and the general consensus seems to be that frying in animal fat is much better for you than frying in oil of any kind. I don't know who this guy is, but he gives a good brief description of why. |
