Confit is the French technique of cooking and preserving food slowly in fat — classically duck or goose legs cured in salt, then poached in their own rendered fat well below a simmer. The result is meat that is silken inside and crisps dramatically when finished in a pan; the method now extends to garlic, tomatoes, and even fish "confit" in olive oil.
What to order
- Duck confit (confit de canard) — the benchmark: crisp skin over yielding leg meat
- Cassoulet — white beans baked with confit duck, sausage, and pork
- Garlic confit — whole cloves gone sweet and spreadable in olive oil
- Confit tomatoes — slow olive-oil tomatoes, intense and jammy
- Salmon confit — fish cooked barely warm in oil, uniformly silky

Frequently asked questions
Is confit fried?
No. Confit cooks far below frying temperature — the fat stays around 85-95°C, gently poaching rather than crisping. The crisp skin on duck confit comes from a hot pan at the end, not from the fat bath.
Why was food cooked in fat historically?
Preservation. Before refrigeration, salt-cured meat sealed under its own fat kept for months in southwestern France — the flavor was the bonus that kept the technique alive.
What should I try first from a menu with confit dishes?
Duck confit is the reference point — if a kitchen does it well, the crisp-tender contrast is unmistakable. SeEat shows the dish photo and description, so you can see whether it comes classic or reinterpreted.
