After watching that video of RFK Jr explaining how fast food restaurants used to cook fries in beef tallow but then switched to oils, I decided to give it a shot. I used to always use vegetable oil for the fries or a little butter to grill the burgers on a griddle. This time I finally caved in and bought a few gallons of beef tallow. Hoo boy, was it amazing. I'm NEVER going back to vegetable oil, I'll only cook fries in tallow from here on out. The burgers were also the best I've ever made.
I wonder, what are the health benefits of tallow? 🤔
It is kinda like when you cook your eggs just using the bacon drippings instead of oil, much better with the natural fat. Grams use to use Lard to cook with, I think that is same as Tallow but, pork fat instead of beef, beef sounds better to me though, I dont like pork lol.
Bacon grease is AMAZING for cooking. Try pan frying a sandwich with a couple of dabs of bacon grease.
We cook with bacon grease and lard from hogs we raised on our farm. I'm very excited for RFK and Joel Salatin.
Excellent! I need to find a good source of real lard.
And yes, when I saw that Salatin was being brought into the Administration, I swear I almost cried a tear. Heal this land. Heal this people.
If you want real lard, ask places that butcher hogs and cattle etc. for it, its pretty cheap but you have to render it yourself.
Ask for "leaf lard" if you want it for baking as it comes from around the internal organs. It has zero "piggy" taste and is what bakers use. Same with beef tallow, ask for the fat around the internal organs.
Otherwise, all the other fat is excellent for cooking with.
They have it at Walmart below the Crisco……white tub with green lettering.
Mexican stores
I hear Chris Christie has some extra😂😂😂
Most grocery stores sell it on the same aisle as the vegetable oil. Usually bottom shelf, not at eye level so you won't see it unless you're looking for it.
