grease removal in a hurry!

I had a great idea this afternoon to remove the fat/grease from my lamb broth so we could have shredded lamb sandwiches. I poured all the liquid into a glass bowl, then put some good cling-wrap (I like the old Costco brand... they do not sell it anymore, but that is okay - I do not use it often!) on the inside of the bowl, touching the broth (or rather the grease on top!) then put some ice cubes on the wrap. the first application removed half the grease in about 5 minutes while I shredded the meat.
then I folded the plastic over on itself, dumped the ice and water into the sink, and folded the trapped grease into the plastic and stuck it in the freezer (I will give it to the dog/cats later)
I am doing a third application, but I could have skipped it, I think - a little bit of fat improves the taste of the broth....

anyway, thought I would share

this is a wonderful hint- it is important that I remove most of the fat in gravies for my hubby and found sometimes using icecubes would water it down or take more time than this Meme has- thank you

What a neat Idea, I wonder would that work for other types of meat?

I do not know why not - it was just the broth in the bowl, and fat rises to the top of all my broths easily, so my guess is it would work for any broth you needed to skim in a hurry.
