Mrs. Peel said:Laura said:The oil issue can be easily solved by using lard, tallow, duck fat or coconut oil, all of which do well at high temperatures.
OK, of all the above, coconut oil is about the only thing found readily around here. Oh, and I actually got a cast-iron skillet! It says it was preseasoned and ready to use. I fried up some onions and chicken sausage in it with oilve oil, and noticed it seemed to smoke a bit but maybe that was the steam coming from the onions. I don't know enough about cooking to tell the difference!
Have you tried looking for Goose fat? we use goose fat instead of duck fat.
