Special Fat From Poultry Used In Cakes And Frying

Specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture note that the yellow fat around a chicken gizzard and near the intestines is prized by French housewives and American cooks. In New York markets it has brought up to $1.10 per pound, prompting some to collect it from butchers. Housewives should insist on having dressed poultry delivered to use this fat and cut overall fat purchases. To prepare, melt in a double boiler or hot water, then strain. Keep cool and use within days. This fat can shorten cakes, fry meats, and heat vegetables, among other uses.
