Fat washing is the process of infusing the flavor of a certain fat with a spirit. By melting the fat, mixing it with the chosen spirit, freezing the mixture, skimming the fat and filtering out the rest of the particulates, you are left with a clear wonderfully delicious spirit with all the flavor, and none of the greasiness of the fat, left within. In this episode, Jamie creates a bacon fat washed bourbon and uses it in the Chocolate Cochon cocktail.
