beef broth

[gen24]

after you remove the fat from your beef broth, do you use it for something else or do you just throw it away ?
Thank you

I don't skim it at all.

[TzippityDoulah]

are you supposed to skim it for some reason? I never do... hmmm...

Don't skim here either. We have a fairly low fat diet and only get it via dairy and meat and oils from home-prepared food so we need it.

I always remove the fat because that's what it says in NT but I always wondered why. Maybe won't do that anymore.

I do remove the solid fat from the refridgerated broth because we don't like fat floating on the top of our soups, etc. But I save the fat and use it. It's good stuff! And I don't skim until I'm ready to use the broth, because it helps to keep the broth fresh longer.

I don't use the fat from my chicken broth, though. It always seems a bit rancid to me. But again, I leave it on the broth until I'm ready to use it.
