rendered fat
Melted animal lipids
Rendered fat is animal fat that has been melted down and separated from connective tissue, yielding a pure, shelf-stable cooking fat.
The rendering process involves slow heating until the fat liquefies and solids sink or float away.
Common rendered fats include lard (from pigs), tallow (from cattle), and schmaltz (from poultry): She saved bacon drippings as rendered fat for frying.
