Confit
Confit (French, pronounced (:kɔ̃fi) or in English "con-fee") comes from the French word ''confire'' which means literally "preserved"; a confit being any type of food that is cooked slowly over a long period of time as a method of preservation.〔
Confit as a cooking term describes when food is cooked in grease, oil or sugar water (syrup), at a lower temperature than deep frying. While deep frying typically takes place at temperatures of , confit preparations are done much lower—an oil temperature of around , sometimes even cooler. The term is usually used in modern cuisine to mean long slow cooking in oil or fat at low temperatures, many having no element of preservation such as dishes like confit potatoes.
In meat cooking this requires the meat to be salted as part of the preservation process. After salting and cooking in the fat, sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, confit can last for several months or years. Confit is one of the oldest ways to preserve food, and is a specialty of southwestern France.
==Etymology==
The word comes from the French verb ''confire'' (to prepare), which in turn comes from the Latin word (''conficere''), meaning "to do, to produce, to make, to prepare". The French verb was first applied in medieval times to fruits cooked and preserved in sugar.
