One of my favorite fatsFeb 16, 2009
By Timothy B. Riley
Given that we are living in a time when (at least in the US) we are told that fats in our diets are bad for us, it is a real pleasure to find an item like this. I have long been a fan of animal fats when used in moderation (O-K, not always in moderation, I did makes some duck-fat french fries not too long ago, INCREDIBLE!). Yes, many people eat way too much fat, but more importantly they often eat the wrong ones. Fats such as partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, palm oils, coconut oil, etc. not only have dubious effects on our health, they just don't add as much flavor as traditional fats such as butter, olive oil, chicken fat and, yes duck fat.
I try to watch both my calorie and fat intake but I do so by eating less and choosing my fats for flavor. Duck fat gives ordinary dishes like spinach or mashed potatoes more taste and complexity that would butter or, God forbid, margarine. The French have known this for centuries and use duck fat to add flavor and depth to a wide variety of foods.
I sometimes buy my duck fat in larger tubs, 10-16 oz., but I like these little 1.5 oz. containers. They stay fresh on the shelf when unopened and then I use the entire thing, not needing to worry about finding room for it in my overly-stocked refrigerator. The cost per ounce is not to bad when buying it in these little cups, about the same as some of the larger tubs. The only thing that I don't like is the the oils and fat solids tend to separate. Not a big deal if I am mixing it into a dish or browning something with it, but if I want to use it as a spread (highly recommended) I have to stick it in the fridge first and then stir it up. Other than that I must say that this is a staple for me and a great addition to any pantry (when used reasonably, of course).

Yum!Feb 04, 2010
By Melissa A. Martinez
Each of these six units in this package of rendered duck fat are small, but a little goes a long way. They are convenient because one package is enough to flavor anything you want to use it for without digging repeatedly into a tub and having to measure. The fat itself is delicious. I have used to to flavor home fries, roasted vegetables, and smeared it on homemade bread and it is fantastic. It may seem pricey, but duck fat in general is pricey and for the packaging and doorstep delivery convenience, it is a good buy.

 Ruined by soybeansOct 03, 2011
By Bobbity
SOYBEANS?!
The whole attraction to cooking with duck fat (besides the flavor) is that it's a natural, healthy animal fat. Why on earth does this product need to contain soybeans (processed, not healthy)? Oh that's right, because the government subsidizes soybean farms and so soybean products must now appear in everything Americans eat. Reprehensible.

 Very NiceMay 25, 2011
By GoodCustomer
Okay. I'm a very accomplished home cook of some sophistication, but I'd never used duck fat. I wondered about the small size units, but I find that cooking for usually uses one or half of one unit, and the other half can be used plenty soon enough that it's not wasted. The taste is distinct and quite good. My first use was with some braised pork. I had made enough for two nights, and the product arrived for the second night. I sauteed the pork and carrots in half a unit of duck fat to reheat. The rich flavor much improved a dish that is anyway always better the second night. Half a unit was plenty. The richness was a very good addition to the pork and carrots that had been braised without wine and therefore somewhat plain. I see this as being something I keep in the pantry.

Awesome for everythingJan 06, 2012
By Amber M. Anderson
Duck fat is awesome! Makes really flavorful way to cook just about anything...fry eggs in it, coat vegetables and roast (brussels sprouts are divine) or just spread on toast.
I will say though that what you get in these little cups is pretty much identical to what you get if you collect the fat from a roasted duck...but good if you use the fat a lot more often than you roast ducks (I do save fat but honestly...the grocery store only gets ducks so often).
This seems good quality...has all the flavor, strained so you get only the fat (no "jelly", duck bits, or other rendering byproducts)
Turns solid in the fridge, liquid in the cups. Refrigerate after opening...can use about 2-4 times per cup depending on what you're doing with it.
