Seems like this method would work for most fatty meat pieces in a similar fashion. Gotta ask though, does the fat visibly separate from the water or does it all just blend together to produce a mixture of freshly liquidated fat and plain water?

The water all evaporates, there is none left in the end. You put the water in in the beginning to stop the pieces of fat from sticking to the bottom and possibly burning, by the time the water is gone the oil does the same job.

That's really interesting... the intricate substance transformations that allow for great cooking skills. Will keep note to use that trick sometime.
