½ Price Pepes Rendered Duck Fat 200g $3.00 (Was $6.00) @ Woolworths

350

Duck fat has long been a staple in the professional kitchen, and is enjoying a moment as awareness of this ingredient grows among home cooks. With a silky mouth feel, subtle flavor, and a high smoke point, it’s perfect for high-heat cooking (we use it for pan searing all the time). Duck fat makes everything taste better, from poultry to potatoes, meat to fresh vegetables. You can use duck fat from a solid, soft or liquid state, and unlike other lipids, it can be reused. Buy our duck fat and add it to your kitchen arsenal.

          Google duck farm to see how it's done. The ducks are generally in crowded sheds just like chickens and have no access to water for bathing. They have miserable lives before they are impetuously rounded up like basketballs, stuffed into boxes and trucked to the slaughterhouse.

              @FutureTech: Not OK for either IMO. Thinking that's OK for any feeling being is the behavior of a douchebag.

                    Not sure where you got the insinuation about guilt

                    It's not the first time you've hijacked a thread about animal products to talk about animal welfare and how we should feel guilty about eating "Sentient" beings. You know that word - it's the one you use to justify the millions of insects you kill with your windshield and the rodents and other small mammals that get ground up by combine harvesters when they're harvesting your chickpeas. Stick a camera on the bottom of a tractor and see for yourself.

                    perhaps your own intelligence and conscience?

                    Like most normal people, I always knew my animal products came from animals and never felt any guilt for eating them. It's hilarious that you think all humans are secretly ashamed to eat animal products, when in reality we're just not snowflakes.

                      I take it back.

                      In my opinion this isn't a strong argument. My experience is that the majority of animal casualties from cropping occur from crop protection and not during harvesting. The mammals that are so fearful that they run in the wrong direction and are dragged into a harvester are minuscule in number compared to those that are baited and trapped. And it's not just small mammals, feral pigs and roos are major crop pests. The irony (for the anti-meat types) is that every cropping property I have been associated with slaughtered far more pests each year than the total number of stock and pests combined at any of the beef or lamb properties I visited.

                        And that's because you live in an anomaly. Every year around 60billion terrestrial and over a trillion aquatic animals are intentionally killed for food. Most of these animals eat crops; by far the largest percentage of crops worldwide are fed to livestock, not humans. Australia is exceptional with regards to pastured ruminants; you talking about pastured lambs and cattle is like a Saudi Chief saying petroleum is unlimited and cheap.

                        But the biggest reason cropping is harmful to "pests" is because this type of control is built into the industry by nonvegans - someone somewhere has done the sums and the best economic advantage is to be had by killing roos and whoever else. If roos were in fact considered as having intrinsic value (at least to themselves, as a vegan might afford) worth protecting then pest control would take a different mode - but that cannot be expected from people who are actually breeding animals with the express purpose to kill them (for food, entertainment, whatever).

                        There is in fact a type of cropping called "veganic" - which does aim to protect all sentient beings. No doubt this is completely disinteresting to anyone who doesn't mind paying for the flesh of another animal, and at the moment remains a cottage industry with limited reach. But 10years ago the idea of vegan cheeses and meats going from cottage industries to sale at colesworths was unthinkable, so who knows what might become available if people actually care and want it hard enough.

                  • @afoveht: How about eating dog fat? Oh wait that's illegal in Australia talk about conscience, may be you have a conscience that allows you eat whatever you want, wonder why they don't put how it tastes next to the animal in the zoo

                    • @Watershed: While I agree we should eat whatever we want I don't agree we should eat whoever we want. But your position actually makes more sense than the arbitrary "speciesism" most people exhibit; IMO your position is equally morally decrepit but at least it's consistent and more logical.

      • Hey, those Chinese know exactly what the deal with duck is!

  • So you can cook meat with it??

  • Where is this kept in woollies? I’ve tried looking for it before but haven’t had success.

  • Wonder if I can use it together with claybar?

    I'm sorry. I don't mean to make people feel guilty about consuming duck fat, but I think Australia really needs to update the animal welfare guideline especially for duck farming coz Ducks live with water. That's it.

    *As animal welfare issues go, the conditions in which ducks are raised for meat is low on our radar. Yet, like chickens, most ducks destined to become duck confit or duck pancakes are raised in an intensive system in sheds. This means that floating around in water isn't an option - and that's a problem for aquatic birds that were never designed to live entirely on their feet, says Elise Burgess, Head of Communications at Voiceless, the animal protection organisation.

    "Ducks aren't chickens but they are basically treated the same under farming guidelines. Their legs aren't as strong because they use the buoyancy of water to support their weight - yet millions of factory farmed ducks in Australia have no access to water for bathing and swimming," she says. "They are also bred to have large breasts which makes it even more difficult for their legs to support their weight - and this can lead to lameness, dislocated joints and broken legs. "Link*
