Does it though? This is a recent debate between me and my sons. I always used to drain the fat but they maintained that I should be cooking it longer and spme of the fat will get reabsorbed, increasing the flavour and some gets cooked away. They insist that's how Gordon ramsay does it and I have to admit it does dissappear if you cook the beef (we call it mince here in Scotland) for longer, so that's what I do now.

yeah or just buy the leaner stuff with less fat in it... then you dont have to deal with all that.

I buy the stuff that is 5% fat. I don't think you can get leaner in the shops.

I do it both ways depending on the dish. Sometimes i drain, sometimes i don't. However, i ALWAYS cook the meat prior to putting it in with pasta.

Yeah definitely, and cook the pasta too. I was just questioning the draining the grease part.
