Frequently Asked Questions About Sana kavurma
What is Sana kavurma?
Sana kavurma is a vegetable-oil-based cooking margarine or fat product, not a prepared meat dish. You can melt it in a pan and use it to cook or sauté other ingredients.
How do you use Sana kavurma to make Turkish meat kavurma?
Melt Sana kavurma in the cooking pot before adding the meat. If the meat releases plenty of its own fat, start with a small amount so the finished dish does not become unnecessarily greasy.
Can you use Sana kavurma in pilaf?
Yes, Sana kavurma can be used when making pilaf. Melt it in the pot, add the rice and stir before adding liquid; adjust the salt if the product itself is salted.
Can you cook eggs with Sana kavurma?
Yes, melt Sana kavurma in a pan before adding the eggs. A thin coating across the pan is usually enough, since using much more can leave the eggs oily.
Can Sana kavurma replace butter in cooking?
Yes, you can use Sana kavurma instead of butter in many savory dishes. It is vegetable-oil-based, so it will not give food the same buttery aroma or flavor.
Can Sana kavurma be used in börek?
Yes, Sana kavurma can be used as the fat in some börek recipes. Replacing butter or liquid oil can change the pastry’s texture and flavor, so follow the recipe’s amount and check the result.
Is Sana kavurma suitable for deep-frying?
Sana kavurma can be used for pan-cooking and shallow frying. For deep-frying, use it only if the product packaging explicitly says it is suitable; otherwise choose a fat intended for that purpose.
How should you store Sana kavurma after opening?
Keep opened Sana kavurma covered in the refrigerator, and use a clean utensil when taking some out. Do not leave it at room temperature for long; follow the package instructions if they differ.
Can you freeze Sana kavurma?
Yes, Sana kavurma can be frozen, though its texture may change after thawing. Freeze it in portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and do not refreeze it once thawed.
Is Sana kavurma healthy to cook with?
Sana kavurma adds fat to a dish, so using a large amount increases the meal’s fat content. Use it in moderation and check the package’s nutrition information for the types of fat it contains.

What is Sana kavurma?
Sana kavurma is a vegetable-oil-based cooking fat, rather than a ready-made meat dish. It is intended for cooking in a pan, where it melts readily and gives food a rich, savoury finish. The name is especially familiar in Turkey, while English-speaking cooks can think of it as a cooking margarine or solid cooking fat.
Use a little to sauté vegetables, cook eggs, or brown meat; it can also be added to rice dishes. Its nutritional profile is dominated by fat: it contains 80 g per 100 g. For a lighter result, measure it rather than adding it freely, and pair it with plenty of vegetables or other ingredients that do not need much added fat.
