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? 🤔
You have taken the first step onto the world of genuine flavours. Welcome, it only gets better from here.
Any suggestions on how to cook the tastiest hot dogs? Would help to know for the 250th anniversary barbecue we're throwing in the not too distant future.
My 2nd favorite method for hot dogs is on a charcoal grill (not gas). i roll them back and forth over the hot coals for a few minutes to start browning them and get the grill lines, then roll them off the heat and put the lid on the grill for a few minutes.
My #1 favorite is over a wood fire, either while camping, or just sitting around the firepit in the back yard. Let the fire burn long enough to get a good set of red hot coals, and then find a nice oven spot to hold, flip and rotate the hot dog in.
Shit! You gonna cook over a wood fire, you need to be looking for great wood to use!! The absolute best tasting sweet potato and hamburger I ever ate was grilled over a red oak wood fire! OMG it was delicious!!!!
We had a black out one thanksgiving so my mom and grams use the wood stove and an old flat stove out in the garage (that my grandpa found and it had been sitting out there for a while so had to dust it all down and run a metal vent thing from it though the window, think it was a metal dryer vent or something lol) to cook everything, that was a blast! Though, hauling stuff from garage to house was annoying cuz of the snow lol.
