Host's note: this discussion began, and refers back to, the topic Air Fryers - An Irreverent Look. This rather messy split was done to allow future discussion of spray-can duck fat in a form that may be found in a search.

 

 

Speaking of stritzing with oil, I just discovered Duck Fat in a spray can.

Ingredients list is hard to quite believe.

I'm baffled. In my experience (I always have home rendered duck fat (100% fat) in my kitchen. It is near solid at room temperature here in the tropics). Certainly not sprayable.

That is a mystery.  It does say do not refrigerate.  All I can think of is that whatever is added to keep it liquid is not included in the ingredients list perhaps because it isn't part of the product that you ingest.

Or...

Fats that are more unsaturated are softer, or even liquid, at room temperature, and often have a lower smoke point and “rounder” mouthfeel. Duck and beaver fats fall into this category.

but even if duck fat is liquid at room temp, it is a thick liquid - much more viscous than a veg oil is at the same temp.  While duck fat does have some unsaturated fat, there is quite a bit of saturated fat as well.  I'd find it hard to believe (or it would be ridiculously expensive) if that can held duck fat from wild ducks.

If you’ve ever shaken your can of Duck Fat Spray and heard a thud, don’t be alarmed. Inside a can of Duck Fat Spray, there’s a bag of duck fat surrounded by clean compressed air. When you shake it and hear a thud, that’s just the bag of duck fat moving inside of the can.
