Duck fat

Roast a duck and you get fat, lots of tasty fat. There are plenty of very well established ways of using up all that fat, some sort of confit and making roast potatoes is something everyone will tell you. But duck fat is a lot more versatile than just that, it can be used in the place of just about any other fat, for frying, roasting, or even deep frying anything if you have enough. In fact there are loads of awesome sounding recipes for duck fat it some very surprising places.

Duck fat focaccia
Duck fat caramel sauce

Surprised no one seems to be making duck fat croissants though, seems like an obvious one.
