Cornhusker Kitchen has introduced Duck Fat Cooking Spray to the market. Packaged in a 7-ounce can with a two-year shelf life, Duck Fat Cooking Spray delivers a fat beloved by high-end chefs in a format that appeals to home cooks, including those who grill and barbecue, as well as consumers who are practicing keto and Paleo lifestyles, said Dennis Schuett, who developed the product and introduced it to the market along with his business partner, Roger Brodersen. “The duck fat doesn’t overpower – it just makes food better,” he said. “We have such a diversity in our customers – it’s amazing.”

Schuett’s development of the Duck Fat Cooking Spray happened over the course of four years and started with Coney dogs. Schuett was serving Coney dogs in his cafes in Omaha and needed beef tallow to make the authentic sauce, and his source for his “secret ingredient” happened to mention one day that he could also supply duck fat from a Pennsylvania pasture-raised duck farm if Schuett had a use for it.

That greased the wheels in Schuett’s culinary brain. “I got on the computer and started learning more and more about duck fat and found it to be one of the most wonderful cooking fats I’d ever dealt with,” Schuett said. “This, you can spray on food. You can spray it on your pan for a wonderful pan release, but you can feel good about spraying it right on your food.”

He learned that duck fat was shelf-stable with a melting point around 58 or 59 degrees and that it has a high smoke point. “So I thought, ‘what a wonderful cooking fat it could be if we could put it into a buy sildenafil canada Penegra is similar to its most popular brand available.

That began Schuett’s search for the way to turn the duck fat into an aerosol spray. “I started looking at the world of aerosols, and for the most part, I didn’t like what I found,” he said. “Many ingredients had nothing to do with the flavor.” When he discovered bag-on-valve technology, which features a product-filled bag inside a can that uses pressure between the can and flexible bag to propel a spray without the need for chemical propellants, he was, he says, “the happiest person in the world.” With the technology secured, Schuett next had to find a co-packer that was certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to handle a poultry product and that was willing to house Schuett’s new equipment before he could go into production. Schuett found that combination in the state next door to his Nebraska home, and he now has a product that’s already being embraced by specialty food grocers around the U.S. and by competitors on the country’s barbecue circuit who are finding that it allows them to achieve a great reverse sear with attractive grill marks. “It’s sure nice on vegetables too,” Schuett said. “Air fryer folks are using it too. It’s like a godsend for those. It’s easy to clean up, and you hardly have to use any, and it creates a wonderful savory finish on fish, on pork or beef – I could just go on and on.”

Cornhusker Kitchen Duck Fat Cooking Spray retails for $8.99 to $12.99 for the 7-ounce can. Cases contain six cans. For more information, call Dennis Schuett at 402.306.5958 or email dennis@duckfatspray.com.
