My first memorable scent of tallow (rendering it for my first time ever recently!) smells like what I know as the scent of "unscented" lotion! No wonder! Funny how the industries and their marketing has done such a great job of levitating us delicately away from our deeply connected roots.

My tallow is gritty, like salt (but now salt) …when you rub it in, and create warmth with the friction. But it definitely feels gritty.. before the rubbing and friction melts it. Thank you

Can you show how you clean up? I’m always so worried about my plumbing when it comes to washing all of the bowls and utensils I use for the process.

You and your husband have created some lovely children... Blessings to you all. Thanks for your videos. My first render was a huge success!

Could scrape all the leftover into a suet block with seeds for birds.

Thank you. I wondered about the crock pot lid. I mentioned on zoom to some friends that during the pandemic I was trying to learn to render tallow. A friend surprised me with home grown grassfed beef bones. I rendered tallow following your recipe. I rosted slow for first render then took the rosted bones to make bone broth and when that cooled took the tallow from that. I did two of your purification methods and it is beautiful. I did not purify what I wanted to cook with and it does have a beefy smell. The rest is pretty oder free. It is golden when melted but whiter when solid. Tried your recipe for whipped balm and added some stress free aromatic oil I had here and it came out marvelous. Still will be ordering from you because he only does one to two cows a year. I really have a hard time here finding someone to get the fat from. Its a very regulated state.

GREAT video I enjoyed very much! I can only get the shrink wrapped packages of beef suet, so I allow them to sit out on the counter for about outside of the package for about an hour, then I cut it up. The knife glides through it easily cutting it up. I'm sharing this because "I" would make a gigantic mess if I used my immersion blender! Oh, my, would I ever! Lol!!! I have that 'knack!' Lol!
LOVE all your suggestions and I learned about purification from YOU! Thanks! I didn't know about the extra step! I use my tallow for cooking, but I do dip into the jar to dig some out (I've bent spoons my tallow sitting on the counter is that hard!) and I'll still rub it on my hands for lotion! No odor, even without the purification process! If there was a slight odor, I've grown accustomed to it and it doesn't bother me at all, and no one has ever scrunched up their noses at me or found me offensive smelling...yet! Lol!!
I do enjoy your videos very much! Thank you dearly!!!! You're a gem and have beautiful children!!! Mine are grown and married with children of their own, my grandchildren now! 4! Wow! How FAST the time flies!

10:55 I feel like such a good student! I used my immersion blender for THE FIRST TIME today after having the thing for 4-5 YEARS bc I thought I'd needed it a few years ago. Works like a charm. I'd chopped my beef fat last night and let it crock all night on Low. Still chunky looking this morning. Ready to strain soon. Still a little nervous for filtering, but I'll definitely check back in! Thank you for sharing & teaching your ways!

I just rendered my first tallow this week and used kauai grass fed beef. I did the immersion blender trick before i saw this and it worked great. I fed all the leftover chunky small grisly bite to my chickens and a bit with the dogs. Everyone was stoked!!

[Marthawehrly]

I’m like am I today old to now know this! Great tip!

[DellanaMetalArts]

Thanks so much for this video! I was wondering about the salt being left in the tallow but all of the information was excellent. And I really liked your tip for speeding things up at the end. Thanks again!

[normalivengood]

Wonderful video! I'm going to be rendering tallow for the first time and will be following your videos as I go. This particular video answered questions I didn't know I had, but definitely needed to know. Thank you so much!

[vonitaesse]

What about using a pressure cooker? What would be the result?

[HannibalJV]

My wife and I had been wanting to render some beef Tallow, and I came across your videos. Thank you for the information!

Thx for a great presentation. I just finished the wet method for the first time, then watched you. Started with 6lbs of suet that came from beef on a regenerative farm. Not sure of the varietal. In and out of the crock pot 3 times. Each time on low for at least 2 hours. My first batch was strained into 1 pot and I placed in fridge 2 hours. When I took it out of pot it was soft and became a mash so tipped it out. It all went back into the crock pot! 2 more hours then I used 2 pots for 2 discs and in fridge 3-4 hours. My first 2 discs looked great. Still had an odor. 5-7 cups of water and 3-4tbs Redmond's salt. A little smell remains. The color is as you describe. Not snow white. 75% of this will be used to make tallow cream mixed with olive oil and maybe try some shea butter. I heard another YouTuber explain it's a great idea to keep the rendered tallow out at approx 70° for 2 days for complete drying. I placed my discs on a wire rack on my counter. I don't want mold and in the time of writing this message, little beads of water are forming on top of the discs. I can see how letting it sit a couple of day can be of benefit. I'll keep you posted on my lotion results!

Game changer with the immersion blender trick! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[Mairesa]

FYI Twice my tallow blew the lid off the crockpot and made a super big mess!

[JacquiSimpsonTheHealingTrinity]

Thank you. My first time and you led me through it. I had big chunks of leaf fat, so I used the immersion blender method....worked beautifully. When I went to pour the final product into my mason jars, I couldn't see much water. to be sure, I tossed the last little bit, because it may have been water. I've watched your other rendering videos...such valuable info. God Bless you and your family.i

[Abeautifulmundanelife]

Thanks for all your videos! Thanks to your tips I successfully made tallow… now to try the purification step with salt water to see if it will be less smelly for body cream & candles
