Hi Tom, Good for you, trying to build your skills.
I would say that trimming the fat just gets rid of a lot of grease/fat in the finished meal. You are probably able to tell by feel/or sight, where there is fat on the outer surface of the roast. Just take a knife and cut the fat away as much as you can from the outer surface. That just gets rid of it so you don't have all that fat in the cooking liquid. Good luck with this, and all your future cooking endeavors. Hope this helps, Sherri On 1/11/13, Tom <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi.
