Hi Bee,

What I meant was how many times can I re-use coconut oil, ghee, duck

and pork fat after I have cooked food in them once. For example, I

often use the same fat twice to cook with, and it seems ok. My

question is can I re-use the same fats after a first use, and

importantly, how many times?

The reason I ask is that I am trying to save money. So, re-using the

same fats after I have cooked with them more than once (or even two or

three times) would help in that regard.

TIA

==>LOL! I answered your question but I wasn't very clear about it.

You can save the saturated fats that has been used in cooking for up

to 2 years - in other words you can re-use the same fats time after

time after time. I don't worry about how many times I've cooked such

fats. If I collect a lot of it I keep it in a jar in my fridge and

it will keep even longer than 2 years. But most of the time I pour

all of the fats over the foods, except for bacon.

==>My grandmothers and my mother had a container for fats on the back

of their wooden stoves. It had a strainer on the top to catch bits

and pieces of meat, and the fat would melt into the container.

==>You can use it as many times as you wish - would 10 times help?

Hi Bee,

Your answers were so cute; I had a good chuckle over them, and they are

really clear... :- )

** I really had a chuckle over that one. Now I know exactly where I'm

going with this!

Thanks for your time and sense of humour!

==>I'm glad you got a chuckle Fran. Laughter is the best medicine!

But I see I made a boo boo when I typed wooden stove instead of wood

stove - my a wooden stove wouldn't be good for cooking, would it? LOL!

==>Fat containers were called " grease pots " . Everyone had to stop re-

using fats because of the fat & oil industry. Such fats went rancid

very easily, and most are rancid when they are bought, even now!

I am very surprised to read that fat could be used

many time. I always read that using it even twice is

bad because burned fat is cancerous. I never used it

twice or eat burned food for the same reason.

==>Liz, yes it is surprising but we are talking about nature-made good

saturated fats, not man-made petroleum products. However burned fats

of should be discarded and not re-used. And no foods should be cooked

at such a high heatthat the fats burn.
