reuse goose fat?

I put mine through a coffee filter paper.
Still got last years' goose fat!

We had goose today. I now have over a litre of goose fat in the fridge. Does anyone know how long it will last. I could freeze some of it, but it's the sort of stuff I tend to forget about once I've frozen it.

I used a bit on our roast spuds and parsnips. They were lovely. I only used a small amount which I tossed the veg in to lightly coat them before roasting.

Can anyone tell me where you get goose fat from ,not seen it about would love to do some roasties in it ,thanks.

Bought mine in Asda, think it was about £1.99 for the jar. First time I've tried it and the potatoes were lovely.

I still have 2 large tubs of goose fat left over from one christmas goose. We don`t often have roast potatoes so I am setting my mind to search out ways of using this fat up

I found a few recipes here and I`ll particularly take note of the dumpling recipe

I suppose there is frying onions etc but at this rate I`m still going to have goose fat in the fridge next christmas. Help

Kittie I've still got some goosefat in my freezer. I've been using it as you would any other fat, but not for baking. I chip bits off the frozen block and use to soften veg for soups, frying potatoes etc.

I had never used goose fat before last Christmas but I must admit I did reuse it because it cost so much. I didn't know if it actually could be reused but I went ahead and did it anyway. We are all still alive and kicking.

Ah thriftlay what you`re saying is really os. I don`t know why I haven`t been doing that. Fantastic, I`ll probably be using a bit most days now. All it needed was a sensible brain!! :j :j

My butcher does this and I was thinking way OTT for one use, but if it's ok to reuse I think I will get some next time I am in as every says how lovely it is for roasties

Right, i "treated" myself to some goose fat and am laying on a roast dinner for myself.

The butcher told me to use a brush and brush on the fat to the pots. The jar says to heat it in the oven and then coat - i usually do this, and use sunflower oil, so the goose fat experience is new to me.

So can anyone tell me best way to use it? Heat it, dont heat it? also, unsure quantity wise - although I am glad to see it can be reused.

Dead excited about roast dinner, living alone it's such a task but I feel I'm worth it today. Butcher put the chicken in a roasting bag, so Im off to look up what to do with chicken fat and how to make gravy (as there is loads of moisure comes out )

Weeeeee!

pour excess fluid from you chicken roasting bag into a jug via a sieve if you can, and when cooled skim off fat and the remaining jelly is brilliant chicken stock that you can uses as a basis for soups, or if you want to store it in the freezer until you have several jugsfull.
I triple wrap the jelly when its solidified, and then freeze it when I have enough I uses it in alomst any recipe which calls for chicken stock.Brilliant tasting and far fuller of real chicken flavour than ordinary stock cubes
