Best Duck fat for home cooking
What Duck fat is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The golden fat of confit and roast potatoes — southwest France in a jar.
In French cooking, Duck fat is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Roast potatoes in it. Confit if you have time. Keep it cold; it is an animal fat, not a shelf-stable oil.
