Related: About this forumNow I have a bunch of duck and goose fat.
Did Thanksgiving dinner last night. Goose, potatoes, carrots, and mac and cheese. Pumpkin pie for dessert.
What to do?
Goose tacos will get rid of 5 tablespoons for the tortillas.
Looks like confit du canard is on the menue soon.

The idea that fat is bad is just plain WRONG.
Tiny amounts of either are literally FLAVOR BOMBS
which will elevate any number of dishes, just like "Better than Bouillon"!

Storage Guidelines for Goose Fat in the Fridge
So, how long can you keep goose fat in the fridge? The answer depends on various factors, including the quality of the fat, storage conditions, and container quality. Generally, goose fat can be stored in the fridge for several months when properly handled and stored.
Short-term storage (up to 3 months): If you plan to use the goose fat within a few weeks or months, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Make sure the container is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants.
Long-term storage (up to 6 months): For longer-term storage, consider using a high-quality container specifically designed for storing fats and oils. These containers are typically made of materials that prevent light and oxygen from entering, which can help extend the shelf life of the goose fat.

Duck Fat
How to Strain, Separate, and Store Duck Fat
Strain the melted duck fat through a fine-mesh strainer to remove all solids.
Separate the liquid fat from the duck juices (which wont keep nearly as long as the fat). If you own a fat separator, now is the time to use it, but you can also simply spoon the fat off the top of the juices.
Store the separated fat in an airtight container for months in the fridge or even longer in the freezer.
