I think that for round fruits, the time needed for confit is in r² where r is the radius of the fruit. I'd like confirmation of this. David.Monniaux 13:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What is tomato confit? Is that preserved in sugar?

Inadequate definition!

I've been a qualified chef for 18 years & have worked all around the world for chefs such as Tetsuya Wakuda, Marco Piere White & Thommas Keller. I have issues with definition of fruit confit. As far as I'm aware confit in ALL regards MUST be cookin in some kind of fat or oil; generaly for fruit & vegetables, it's a neutral flavoured oil such as canola or grapeseed oil. That definition of fruit confit is using the definition very loosely. cooking it in a sugar syrup to me isn't confit. He's calling it confit because it's cooked until it's soft The definition decribed on the page is closer to a macerate rather then a confit

I agree with Trymybeef above. This article has problems. The lead paragraph weasels around but never says that a 'confit' preparation is cooking. If it's not, show an example. If it is, SAY SO. Here's yet another reference to help you define confit: [1] - "... To the pastry chef, confit refers to candied fruit--fruit cooked slowly in sugar syrup until tender."

confusion

On the one hand, this article says that confit should be made and stored submerged in fat, on the other hand (at least "in a restaurant context") it should have crispy skin. These seem to me mutually exclusive. Can someone with the knowledge explain this in more detail?--69.172.145.182 (talk) 16:05, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

curiosity

Is pork really a waterfowl? I would never have guessed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.188.245.167 (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
