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 live in Greece and just made 500 kg of natural olive oil from my own trees. I mostly use this oil for everything, but also butter and coconut oil. Beef tallow and lard is also good.
Er, quibble.
"Beef tallow"
Is there any other form of tallow? I thought that "tallow" is by definition, beef fat, so "beef tallow" is a tautology. Like saying "wet rain".
or is 'tallow' used for other forms of fat, too? Maybe I just don't know.
You are correct sir,i use hog fat making pork sausage and kidney beef tallow for mixing deer burger but both are interchangeable and are delicious.
Afaik, tallow is beef, and lard is pork. Not sure if there are specific names in English for fats from other animals...
