Comments on: I have heard That Saturated Fat Is Bad, Is This True? http://rockyourpalate.com/saturated-fat/ Good Eats Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:34:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anne http://rockyourpalate.com/saturated-fat/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Anne Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:09:14 +0000 http://rockyourpalate.com/?p=24#comment-6 Good question Carolyn, what I do when adding bacon to any recipe I cook it separately and then remove the bacon onto a paper towel. While the bacon is still relatively warm I take another paper towel and pat off the excess fat. Then I add the bacon to your recipe, soup or chowder. I love bacon and its flavor but it is a high fat food so using this method of limiting the fat is the best way I know when using bacon in your recipes. Also, remember once the chowder cools, like the second day when soup is even better all the bad fat should rise to the top forming solid layer. Remove this fat layer before reheating.
