If you can swing it, go confit. It's amazing. You don't have to use pure duck fat. You can find recipes that call for a mixture of olive oil and schmaltz in addition to the duck fat. A lot cheaper that way

Excessive sentimentality, especially in music or movies?

I don't know anything about duck. However, I am curious as to why everyone is saying save the duck fat or use the duck fat for something else. What is the deal with Duck Fat?

Ton of fat in duck, but a wonderful meal if done right. We usually do once a year at Christmas. Absolutely save the fat. I stick a little fat in my chili recipe once in a while

Smoked duck is awesome too!! I just pour boiling water on it before I put it in the smoker. This really helps crisp the skin. The smoked duck fat that I save is great!!

I once roasted a duck in the Weber with some applewood. It was great. I think I brined it in apple juice with some oranges the night before.

It's very rich, and adds really good flavor to things that are cooked with it. Duck fat French Fries, for example, are really really tasty. It's just like saving bacon grease or beef tallow, or lard.

Smoked duck fat? I never thought of that, but what a great idea. I will definitely be stealing this.

So how does goose compare to duck? I've never had goose and haven't had duck since I was a kid. I know down in Arkansas they revere duck but call geese "skycarp" and ignore them or shoot them and throw them away.
