How Do You Render Fat In The Oven?
To render fat in the oven, preheat it to 250°F and cut the fat into small pieces. Place the pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the fat has completely melted and turned a golden brown color. Once done, strain the fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container. The rendered fat can be used for cooking or stored in the refrigerator.
