Hi,

I've watched a tv programme(Spore) some years ago....The couple shows how to cook food by using only the fat from the meat. Is it b'cos of the cooking utensils or the method that allows cooking without adding oil?

Regards

Don't believe everything you see in the movies. If a piece of meat is
fatty enough, you don't need extra frying fat *provided* you have the
heat low enough to avoid scorching and sticking before enough fat is
rendered to work with. I do that with the first few pieces of bacon,
but I wouldn't waste a steak that way.

That's what I do when I cook chicken with it's skin on. No need for
extra fat, it renders plenty.
