What people fail to realize is that these natural fats are actually healthier than vegetable oils. This and bacon grease sit next to my stove at all times.

Put the tallow in a large jar/jars and put them in the fridge upside down. When the tallow is solidified the water will be next to the lid and you just pour it out

I've started rendering my own tallow. Instead of keeping it in a jar, I pour it into ice trays and put it in the refrigerator. Then whenever I need it, I just pop out a few of the cubes and throw them in the pan.

You should try boiling the potatoes with a bit of vinegar. The vinegar prevents the breakdown of pectin in the potato which stops them from going mushy, while only slowing the breakdown of the starches a bit. You add a tablespoon or two of vinegar (and salt for flavour) to a pot of boiling potatoes and boil them for about 20-30 minutes per inch of thickness. Then you take them out and can fry them afterwards and they don't breakdown or lose their shape at all but they're still thoroughly cooked.

Tallow and Lard makes for great pastry crusts. Seriously, give it a try and you’ll be blown away

My father in law made his own tallow and injected it into the Christmas prime rib which was then smoked and rotisseried. Best prime rib I've ever had.

Making tallow in the crockpot is the easiest way imo. I throw it in there while I’m doing other things. I come back and check on it every once in a while. It really doesn’t take that long. Also, I tallow absolutely everything that I can replace with tallow. I fry my foods in it. I do not fry in any kind of vegetable oil ever. One of the few things that I do not replace with tallow is butter for my toast.😂

In Argentina we fried empanadas in beef tallow...delicious! I'm glad is making a comeback!

Just bought a primal cut from Costco. Great timing on how to make beef tallow!

I have a local market that sells beef fat a $0.99 lbs. I don't have a grinder but here is another reason to move it up on the list of things I want.

Been cooking with beef tallow for about half a year now, I've noticed that it gives the food a clean flavor. Most other fats, even if they're neutral, still give a different finish of flavor.

I love this channel.
This vid takes me back to my youth (60+ years ago) in Australia, where we kids made "Depression Sandwiches" which were heavy helpings of beef tallow on fresh bread with pepper & salt.
My wife is Aussie-born from European stock & she fondly remembers them too.
We drank Adelaide's untreated tap water, played in the dirt, and rain & ate disgusting kids, but we were all healthy & robust.
If we cut or grazed ourselves, we licked the wound & got on with it.
In my entire school & work time, there was only 1 school kid who had asthma. He played hockey & was one of the best players & he hated being dragged off when it got the better of him.
How things have changed. 😞

Beef tallow I WAS using to make for the bird seed suet. Not now! My next meal is sure gonna be more interesting and exciting. Thank you for sharing this!

I've started grinding my own meat from brisket slabs both for my food and my dogs homemade food. As a natural result of doing this I have lots of fat trimmings. This opened the door to me learning to make and use beef tallow. It is amazing how just making one change like grinding and cutting your own meat can push you back to old school and discovering lost skills which save enormous money.

My grandmother put it on her face, neck, arms, and hands. She had beautiful skin in her 90s. A young person couldn’t do that without breaking out, but as you age, you lose those natural oils. I make my own bone both and skim the fat when it’s done and save it separately. I keep some in the fridge for immediate use and freeze the rest in ice cube treys so I can remove however much I need.

I make chicken broth with my collection of chkn scraps, carcass, skin, fat. After broth is made I put in fridge then scrape out the fat off the top. I use it for cooking. Delicious. I’ll try to get beef for tallow .

I learned a lot from watching this channel. Also, to get a faster char on the brussel sprouts, you can preheat the sheet tray so they sizzle when they hit the tray.

I live in California and eat a lot of tri-tip. I always save the trimmings and make tallow. I use it instead of butter for cook and even baking. Beef tallow cookies anyone?

[briangregus]

Just wanted to mention in the past searching how to butcher specific sections of meat and you never popped up in the results. Last night this channel randomly popped in my feed and I couldn’t help watch several videos. Keep ‘em coming!

Tallow is so great for cooking. I love it. OMG the best fries I've ever eaten were deep fried in tallow. There's a Tasmanian company in Australia called "Tassie Tallow" who sell grass fed tallow direct from their farm, they also sell lamb and beef drippings. They are going so well. Great video.
