Refers to the process of removing the fat from the surface of a sauce, soup, or stew. This may be accomplished by using a spoon or a bulb baster to suck the fat off the surface. If time permits, another way to remove the fat is to chill the liquid so that the fat congeals at the surface making it much easier to remove.
