degreasing
Stripping away grease
Degreasing is the process of removing grease, oil, or other fatty substances from a surface.
Industrial degreasing cleans metal parts before painting or welding.
In cooking, degreasing means skimming fat from stocks or sauces: Let the broth cool so you can degrease it easily.
