The internet is full of quick and effective hacks that frequently go viral. One such viral hack that explains how we can remove excess oil from food is being widely circulated online.

A viral video posted on Twitter by popular account Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) shows how a person dips a round-shaped ice block into an oily broth. Interestingly the layer of fat floating over the dish sticks to the ice block and then freezes on it within seconds. The person then easily scraps the layer of frozen fat from the ice before repeating the process.

I put ice in a clean plastic bag and use it in the same way to remove excess oils and fat from broth.

The fat can be reused

aside from the many obvious reason why we use oil when cooking… some ingredients like meat are high in saturated fats which this method would also help with.

Works only with saturated fat that freezes over the ice. Other pills won’t freeze so easily. Also any flavour would also go away with the fat
