Feb 10, 2017 at 17:04 comment added rumtscho We discourage asking two questions in one. You could try asking such a question about lighting separately, I don't know how the community will react. We have a rule to not ask "rants disguised as questions" and this can encroach that territory - it may work if you word it neutrally, though.
Feb 10, 2017 at 17:02 comment added Calaf @rumtscho I see your point. But I would have loved to hear feedback about the kinds of lighting in a store that merchants could have used (unscrupulously, but legally) to confuse the fat content. Should I take my own flashlight, with an intact blue/green spectrum, to be certain? That's for sure an altogether different question.
Feb 10, 2017 at 17:01 comment added dougal 5.0.0 I can only comment as to what I would do in this case. I would strain it and, if needed there after use kitchen towel to blot away anything else I didn't want - however, careful you don't 'blot' away juices etc that you do want. If kitchen towels are a no no for you, how about using a clean (and I mean clean clean) t towel. I know, a bit of serious washing of it afterwards, but what the heck! Perhaps you could look for a kitchen towel that is sort of chemical free - hypoallergenic? Your thoughts?
Feb 10, 2017 at 17:00 comment added rumtscho Also, don't forget to take a look at the "Related" panel on the right hand, the system there tries to find questions which might interest you and usually does a good job of it. In this case, the top related question is cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/10283/…, which is what you asked in the comment.
Feb 10, 2017 at 16:58 comment added rumtscho Hello Calaf, we prefer to have straight questions here. Your reasons to not want eating the fat, or self-castigation about buying what you did not want to buy, is distracting from the real question, and in this specific case, may even invite health debates (which are off topic). I removed that part, and left the question itself.

Feb 10, 2017 at 16:57 comment added Calaf Is straining or tipping more effective than cooling overnight? Now that I think of it, perhaps straining followed by leaving on a paper towel is best. But then we'd worry about the chemicals in the paper towels. I asked: cooking.stackexchange.com/q/78303/41295
Feb 10, 2017 at 16:35 comment added dougal 5.0.0 Try frying it off as normal and then removing any unwanted fat by either straining or tipping (whilst hot/warm).
