Duck Cracklin & Fat

After learning from my last mistake of transferring hot fat into glass, I decided to use aluminium bread pans.  =)

1 pound of duck fat and skin

1 cup water

1.  In a large skillet, add fat, skin and water and bring to a simmer.  Cook about 30 minutes or until skin is golden brown.  You don’t want to burn fat or it will be useless.  Strain into a heat proof vessel.  Refrigerate.

2.  Sprinkle contents from strainer with salt and serve with hot sauce.

Fat, skin and water.
Fat, skin and water.
Bring to simmer.

Continue to cook down and water will evaporate.
Continue to cook down and water will evaporate.
20 minutes you'll be left with just skin and fat.

Cracklins!

I forgot to take a picture of a full plate.  This is what was left.
