Getting sick of grease

Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 19:29 GMT Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of all the grease left over from cooking low carb. It's starting to look disgusting. Can anyone suggest some cooking methods that will still satisfy a decent fat requirement but not have me 409 my kitchen daily?

Choose leaner meats, use less cooking oil (or Pam spray), and get your oils through salad dressings, cream, nuts, avocados, etc.

Burners way up, grease all over the place. Thankfully, though, he'll clean it up every few days. I think it's a guy thing with fire. You should see his charcoal grills. ;-)

I rotisseried a leg of lamb yesterday on out outdoor grill, and it did not mar with even one drop of anything.
Our grill has a built in rotisserie, and I put a pan underneath to catch dripping liquid.

Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 20:16 GMT I admit I am a member of the order of the too hot burners club. Never considered that. We just buy lots of 409.

We just buy lots of 409. hot burners cause formation of cancer causing heterocyclic amines. A bad idea.

Plus, why are you on a low carb diet, when the link between fat intake and heart disease was established decades ago?

Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 21:38 GMT Maybe it's because I put no in weight in vegan spin doctors or maybe because it works where other methods havent. Speaking of which why are you here in the first place? I mean seriously is it a personal crusade to educate the masses on eatting nothing but soy? Im really sick of you veggie f.ckers who rant and rave that meat is evil and spew crap about animals being treated cruel. The really funny part is you post a link saying X causes cancer when next week a new article will come out saying X prevents cancer. When are idiots like you going to learn it really doesnt matter in the end what causes cancer, you get it or you dont. It's that simple. Do you think only asbestos workers and smokers get lung cancer? Do you think if they would have ate an orange they would have prevented it? A little common sense and understanding of scare media would do people some good. It's also funny you want to argue "medical facts" that were establishd years ago must be the golden rule. Thus meaning new research must be moot. Hell in that case we should all just bore a hole in our head whenever we get a headache to let the demons out.

The cornerstone of finding out which foods are carcinogenic is a concept that if something causes lot of cancers in very high doses, it also causes cancers at low doses, just less.
> Plus, why are you on a low carb diet, when the link between fat intake and > heart disease was established decades ago? You are trying to prove me wrong by analogy, but use a wrong analogy.

Help - 01 Mar 2004 19:51 GMT I micro my bacon, sausage etc. For the meats, pick lean cuts, and I use a George Foreman contact grill what grease there is goes in a little dish that I save to make the dogs their cookies out of. No muss or fuss in my kitchen, I never pan fray that is the big mess creator.
Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 20:09 GMT Hey a George Foreman grill is a great idea, I never thought of that before. I've been so used to cooking almost entirly in these big 20 pound cask iron skillits i've had for years.

But I suggest you get a roaster and bake or broil...let the grease run off. Don't fry.
Chrono-Z - 01 Mar 2004 19:58 GMT No, of course i dont add grease to what i'm cookings, it just naturally comes from the meats like bacon, sausage, beef, etc etc.

Other brands I tried were much too salty, but the Hormel is great, and no mess.
Get a splatter screen for your frying pan.

FOB - 01 Mar 2004 21:55 GMT Put a lid on the pan while you are cooking. They make screen type lids if you want to let the moisture out but not the fat. Here's one: http://www.toppans.com/index.php?ip=Splatter+Screen+with+Feet

Or, add good fats (like olive oil) on salads, and eat more chicken/fish/lean pork.

one can even cook sausage and bacon in the oven.....

I can't relate to having gobs of leftover grease so I may be qualified to answer this question. I don't eat bacon so there's a start. Also, I use a covered skillet to cook my meats such as boneless chicken breasts and thighs. For fat requirement, a large portion of it is cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil in salad greens. Also, poaching fatty types of fish is very easy to do as well.
I never could stand meat fat (except for that yummy crispy skin on chicken after it's baked).
Best of luck with whatever you choose. CM
