Drippings

Certainly! "Drippings" is a term used to describe the concentrated juices and fats that are released from meat, poultry, or vegetables while they are being cooked. These juices and fats can be collected in a pan or tray placed beneath the meat or vegetables as they cook, or they can be rendered from the meat or vegetables directly by cooking them over high heat.

Drippings can be used in a variety of ways in cooking. For example, they can be used to make gravy or sauces by adding broth, wine, or other liquids to the drippings and simmering them until they thicken. Drippings can also be used to add flavor to roasted vegetables or potatoes by tossing them in the drippings before roasting.

Drippings can vary in flavor and consistency depending on the type of meat, poultry, or vegetables from which they are derived. For example, drippings from a fatty cut of beef or pork will be richer and fattier than drippings from chicken or turkey. Similarly, drippings from root vegetables like carrots and potatoes will be sweeter and less oily than drippings from leafy greens or mushrooms.
