      That only seems to be for caged eggs, everything else is ok to slaughter and eat on Ozbargain.

      "Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. We know that if someone offers to show us a film on how our meat is produced, it will be a horror film. We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory— disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own."

        Ehhhh hyperbole. Somehow suggests that "tortured flesh" is inherently nutritiously worse for us, and that somehow the sentiment of trauma lives on in our own bodies. Kind of a weird religion.

    I stock up on the whole ducks when they're on sale. Cut out the big hunk of fat at the tail and render that, gives you about as much as one of these tubs.

    • How do you cook the whole ducks? I tried once when duck was on sale, and it was disappointing.

      • how did you cook it?

        I usually roast it or braise it. Both of which I discovered on the internet.
        You cannot cook duck like chicken.
        Roast is the easiest. The trick is to make sure that the skin is as dry as possible.

        • I found a recipe on the net and roasted it. I probably looked on the New York Times cooking site and followed the directions. There is so much less meat than on a chicken, i guess. Breasts are really small, from memory. Then again, maybe i'm just a bad cook!

          • @AlexG: I do basically this except I swap the maltose/honey and soy for kecap manis (sweet soy). Turns out great every time. It seems like a lot of effort reading the recipe but it really isn't much time in the end other than waiting.

            • @Brouw3r: Wow, that IS serious! I might just give that a try. Thanks :)

        You wanna butcher them into quarters as the breasts cooks more quickly than the legs. I cut off the neck, then cut out the spine, cut out that big hunk of fat at the tail, then quarter the duck into breasts and legs. I've followed Alton Brown's guide (link below) which turned out good but it's a lot of work. For me I will usually use the legs and breasts for separate meals.

        I also freeze and save the offcuts and also the bones from the cooked breasts/legs. After I've got two ducks worth of scraps I will use them to make duck stock and rendered duck fat.

    Normally I just chuck the fat out lol, maybe I should start rendering and selling it!

      And you call yourself a penny pincher? Hand your ozbargain licence back in!

      • I'll just sell them in margarine containers :)

          Try Veggies roasted in duck fat, you'll love it I guarantee

            @inasero: Try ANYTHING roasted in duck fat.

  • My mum's been buying "no-frills" feed pellets that have rendered her ducks fat

  • +2

    My mum used to use duck fat to make Yorkshire puds.

    • One of my favourite dishes. Never had it with duck fat though, good old lard!

  • +1

    Poor ducklings :(

  • Does the potato need to be peeled? I enjoy the taste of the skin left on when roasted.

    • That’s Heston’s recipe for roast potatoes, boiling them and roughing them up gives them a thick deep fried like coating. Still worth doing with skin on I reckon.

    why someone wants to eat duck fat? any good?

    • +1

      It is meant to be the rolls royce option for potatoes (but least healthy).

      • +6

        Why least healthy? I would rather eat animal fat than garbage oils that have been highly refined and are likely rancid (canola, soybean, most vegetable oil).

        • Yeah, articles like this to consider with vegetable oils too: https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/cooking-with-vegetable-oil… . We mostly stick to Olive oil for cooking, coconut oil for baking, and butter/lard for when we want those yummy animal fat flavours (eggs fried in beef tallow are pretty good).

        • -1

          Kindly find me a baked potato recipe from the most reputable chef you can find that uses canola, soybean or other 'rancid' oils.

      • +4

        The duck fat is more healthy than the potato. If you're diabetic or overweight at least.

    • You don’t eat duck fat

  • You can get so much fat out of the half price pepe and luv a ducks that it's not really worth buying it in my opinion.

    • the problem is its hard to render out all the water.

      ie. you render the fat, let it cool and solidify/freeze it.

      When you try and fry using it theres tons of splatter due to the remaining water content.

    Can I use this to deep fry chips?

    • You’ll be needing a few tubs to get a deep fry going.

    • +1

      I'd deep fry chips in veggie oil. Then drizzle the tender duck fat over top and oven roast them again. Twice cook chips are the bomb

  • how long can you keep this once opened?

    • 6 months in fridge, 12 months in freezer is the recommendation I've read.
