Duck Fat Rules!

[Wolfgang4711]

That's the same sort of thing I heard from my Doc and Dietician

They agree that as long as I be moderate in all things I will be just fine. I eat a regular diet with sugar, syrup, honey and everything a non-Diabetic eats. I just eat smaller portions and if I want more I just walk three miles and regulate my insulin content. Like I said, my cholesterol is better than normal.

My blood glucose is always kept within normal range of between 80 and 120 mg/dl and I have no diabetes related complications.

Not bad for a 51 year old single guy. Aye?

I'm impressed Wolf, moderation seems to be the key...

here's a little duck fat tip:

i used to work in a place here in chicago that specialized in steak. this was one of my first restaurant jobs and this place sold a LOT of steaks.

we got beautiful, prime, dry-aged steaks....beautiful marbling....the kind of stuff you can't buy unless you're an established restaurant.

anyway.....

every steak that came thru the place....you know what they did to it?

after the butcher got done portioning, he'd go to the line an melt a big rondeau full of duck fat, put it into a huge bowl, and toss in all the steaks he'd just butchered. he'd toss them all around to coat each steak in the melted duck fat before wrapping them and putting them on sheet trays.

what a great trick! it keeps the steaks from oxidizing so they stay nice and red. it adds flavor. and you get a beautiful crispy sear....

i love this trick and have used it ever since.


love the topic, by the way.....

Hey that's a great idea! What a wonderful flavor!

I'm going to try this right away!

Thanks for the tip!

It's not so relevant with fat but it's with diabetes.

I am so proud of some colleagues of mine.
