I'm unfortunately pretty sensitive to dairy as well.</p> <p>Additional Question: Since I am allergic to tree nuts and potentially coconut, would palm oil be okay to use or not?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/146743/online-cooking-fat-sources/146768#146768 Answer by Nemesis for Online Cooking Fat Sources Nemesis 2012-09-02T02:23:18Z 2012-09-02T02:23:18Z <p>Ghee has been purportedly well-tolerated by dairy-sensitive folks. It's basically the pure fat from the butter, the milk solids are discarded. It has a very intense butter flavor though, some people may not like it. I would not recommend smearing it on anything as one would with butter--it's best for cooking only.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/146743/online-cooking-fat-sources/146805#146805 Answer by Marcus for Online Cooking Fat Sources Marcus 2012-09-02T10:50:36Z 2012-09-02T10:50:36Z <p>Look for 'confit', 'graise de canard', or graisse d' Oie' in your local deli - duck fat, goose fat in cans or jars. Delicious.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/146743/online-cooking-fat-sources/150068#150068 Answer by Aisling for Online Cooking Fat Sources Aisling 2012-09-17T17:34:00Z 2012-09-17T17:34:00Z <p>Whole Foods sells duck fat and so do most upscale stores. It's smells really nice too, kind of like french fries so I don't think you will get any complaints. If you can't find it in a local grocery you can get it here: <a href="http://www.dartagnan.com/Search.aspx?key=duck%20fat" rel="nofollow">http://www.dartagnan.com/Search.aspx?key=duck%20fat</a></p> <p>I get all of the duck fat I can use from roasting a couple of duck breasts every couple of weeks, you would be amazed how much fat you get off just 2 pounds of duck breast. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/146743/online-cooking-fat-sources/180389#180389 Answer by Rozi Days for Online Cooking Fat Sources Rozi Days 2013-02-19T06:53:54Z 2013-02-19T06:53:54Z <p>The best fats to cook with are saturated fats, because they don't oxidize as easily under heat as the unsaturated fats do.</p> <p>So, the best fats for cooking would be lard, butter, ghee or coconut oil.</p> <p>MUFA omega-9 oil like olive oil is also OK, although it's not as good as the SFAs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rosebudmag.com/lifestyle/health-fitness/fitness-tips-basic-exercises-for-body-fitness" rel="nofollow">http://www.rosebudmag.com/lifestyle/health-fitness/fitness-tips-basic-exercises-for-body-fitness</a></p>
