Rinsing under hot water can:
Reduce fat content by up to 50%
Lower calorie count significantly
Remove greasy texture from dishes like tacos, pasta sauces, or casseroles
This method is especially popular among those managing heart health or watching their cholesterol.
🧽 A Cleaner Finish
For dishes where a less oily base is preferred (like sloppy joes, stuffed peppers, or baked ziti), rinsing helps reduce oiliness in the final dish.
