#render fat

I finally found a store with beef fat! :D

Where i live we don't exactly have butchers, and a butcher tends to be more like a corner quick grocer with a counter of preseasoned raw for grill meats (no plain cuts or fat, organs etc)

I've been looking so i can use the fat for cooking and soapmaking.

I got 6.8 lbs of raw beef fat this time.

Since it's big chunks and renders better in smaller peices I ut the fat up into squares like so,

Now you can render on the stove top, rendering just takes ages.

I prefer and suggest a crock pot, set it on low and let it just do it's thing overnight at least. The next morning you can start siphoning the tallow from the crock.

I ended up with 3 and about a half a pint.

Not enough for soaping, but next time i know to ask for more if they'll save it.

Now, this tallow could be rendered again to get it very creamy white (none of those lil brown spots) but since I'll be using this up quick for food cooking I'm just gonna leave it as is.

Re render is as easy as cleaning the leftover "fat-meat" bits out of the crock or pot and pouring in to rerender up to a day. Repour while fine filtering. Cool and go from there.

Now how can I use this, One might ask. Particularly if your not familiar with using fat instead of say spray on, Olive oil, etc.

Honestly using tallow is rather just as easy as using other fats, easier once you learn how to use it It has a high smoke/burn point as well.

We use it for frying eggs, chicken, potatoes and more,

I use it in place of butter, crisco ( Soybean Oil, Fully Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Palm Oil, and a few more) and vegetable oil (which did you know is soybean oil and corn oil mix?).

For making bread, cakes, cookies and more at home. (Including soap if i have enough)

Rendering Beef Tallow

Ingredients:

• Beef Fat preferably from a grass-fed cow and try to get the fat that is from right around the kidneys

Instructions:

• Use food processor to grate it up or if you don’t have a food processor just use a knife and cut the fat into as small of chunks as you can.

• If there are any pieces of meat you can cut out do it at this stage too.

• Put beef fat into 5 qt. Dutch Oven, fill pan to the top.

• With the heat on low put the lid on the beef tallow fat and let it start slowly cooking.

• After 2 hours take a wooden spoon and mix the beef tallow fat around a bit. Some use a potato masher and squish it a bit too to help the process along.

• Don’t cook this fast because if it burns it will ruin it all.

• Stir again at about 4 hours.

• After about 6-7 hours it will be done. You can tell by all the little browned bits cooked till crispy.

• Next drain all the liquid oil and strain out the cracklin’s. (Cracklins are basically fried bits of meat and gristle)

• Use a fine mesh strainer, a paper towel, cheese cloth or a flour sack towel and line the towel over a strainer, which should sit over a large bowl.

• Pour all the hot oil in and strain it. It should be a nice yellow color.

• Pour into airtight containers and allow to cool overnight.

• Store it in an airtight container to avoid oxidization it can be at room temperature for up to a year or longer. You can store it in the fridge as it will last even longer there, or you can pour your tallow fat into ice cube trays and put the frozen cubes into a freezer bag to freeze.
