About Fat, goose
Animal fats are the rendered fats and oils that come from meat and dairy animals, a category covering everything from lard and beef tallow to duck fat, schmaltz, and the butterfat in dairy. Solid at room temperature and made up mostly of saturated and monounsaturated triglycerides, they have been kitchen mainstays for centuries, valued for the deep, savory flavor and crisp, browned results they deliver.
Cooks reach for them because many animal fats have a high smoke point well suited to frying, roasting, and searing: lard makes famously flaky pastry, beef tallow fries a classic French fry, and duck and goose fat turn potatoes irresistibly crisp. They are very energy-dense at about nine calories per gram and carry fat-soluble vitamins, but they are also high in saturated fat, so current dietary advice is to use them thoughtfully alongside plant oils.
A little goes a long way for flavor. Store rendered animal fat in a sealed container in the refrigerator, where it keeps for months, or freeze it for longer, then melt off just what you need.
