A thin lacy membrane of fat in the form of a lace net that renders when heated, for wrapping pates, terrines and chopped meat.
Caul fat (omentum) is a thin lacy membrane of fat (internal fat from a pig's or sheep's peritoneum) in the form of a lace net that renders almost completely when heated. It is wrapped around pates, terrines, crepinettes, chopped meat, liver, game and sausages to keep the shape and juiciness and get a browned crust; it also goes into the baked liver-and-buckwheat dish salnik.
