Does anyone have any tips (other than freezing) for extending the shelf life of fats? I have some lovely duck fat but it is pain to dig it out a container in the freezer. It went rancid last year and I was sad.
Maybe I should freeze some in ice cube trays?

I've never had any fat go rancid on me in the freezer. If you're freezing/thawing/freezing, then storing in ice cube trays is a good idea. I do that with stock.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I got tired if freezing and thawing and left it in the fridge where it went rancid. Any ways to delay rancidity in the fridge or is freezing my best option?

Although meat eaters do have much higher rates of stomach/colon cancer. Just sayin'.

Yeah there is some debate. In Canada we felt there are still risks and our definition of trans fats includes some of the naturally occurring trans fats. Our definition : http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/fss ... anse.shtml

I used my portioning scoop to dig out frozen schmaltz. You can warm the scoop first to make digging easier and you can measure out just enough pretty easily.
