Although you won't have to skim any fat off this particular blog entry, there are many instances while making soup when you'll want to do just that. So here are three useful fat skimming tips:
- Refrigerate cooked stews and soups overnight before serving. The fat will rise to the top and you can skim it off before heating and serving.
- If you're in a hurry to skim the fat off a soup or stew, an ice cube floated in the soup will help to congeal the fat and make it easier to remove.
- I've yet to try this one, but a reader recently mentioned that a leaf of lettuce dropped in a pot of soup will absorb the grease from the top.
