One of the main processes of processing products – frying – is also usually carried out with the help of fats, since fats make it possible to heat the product to high temperatures without combustion or ignition. The choice of fat depends on its taste match with the culinary product. In addition, it is important to take into account the digestibility of a particular type of fat by the body. This is especially important when making dietary and children's meals. It should also be remembered that fats have different melting points. For example, lard, goose fat, margarine, and liquid fats have a low melting point. But beef fat, lamb fat and butter are fats with a high melting point and are absorbed by the body much worse! As a rule, beef and pork fat is used for frying some types of flour products, as well as for hot meat dishes.
