Question

First 30 seconds

We've all heard chefs say, "Fat is flavor," but what does that really mean and what are you supposed to do with this information? Let's get into it. (upbeat music) When we say fats, we're actually referring to fats and oils. Now the difference between them is their molecular structure. Both are molecules called triglycerides, but the ones that are straight can pack tightly and so are solid at room temperature. These are fats. The ones with bends in them can't pack as tightly, so they remain liquid at room temperature.
