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? 🤔
I was watching a video from someone I respect who was explaining how to make a pie crust and he said to mix half butter and half vegetable shortening.
Yeah NO.
It's got to be leaf lard.
I have some old cookbooks from the 80's and they have Crisco listed in the ingredients for the fat. YIKES!!
I remember throwing all of that stuff out when I learned about hydrogenation in the mid 2000's.
Nicely done.
