This was the BEST podcast I've listened to... so informative... from both of you! Form the pig to the cow....tons of information!! Thanks Michelle!

Just ran across this video and it was a great one!!! It’s good for people to understand that animal fats are healthy after the years of incorrect information to the contrary! Thank you!!!

My mama used lard for her pie crust. I just never liked it. Given how many pies I make in a year (few) my family will not suffer any lasting harm from shortening. Love listening to you two ladies talk.

We keep 1 of our chest freezers full of animal fats and organs only. It works out great. We have several smaller chest freezers and keep our different animal types of meat separate; pork chicken, steaks and roasts, ground beef, fats and organs. This helps me when planning meals and future animal needs. All of these small 5cuft-7cuft freezers fit into the storage pantry. Organization helps with prioritization. I learn so much here and on Homesteading with the Zimmermans. Great channels with useful information.

When growing up we were poor we didn’t get lots of junk food on a regular basis

Growing up in England in the 40’s and 50’s we used butter, lard and beef fat. I didn’t know anything about oil except for warming and putting in ears for earache ! I now live in Canada and cannot find either rendered lard or beef fat in the grocery stores.

For my first attempt at lard, I trimmed then minced 5kg of pork fat and cooked in the Instantpot for 18 hours on Normal heat, and from that bottled half the weight in lard. The "crumbles" then went into a cast iron frypan and sizzled away, til I had more lard liquid. I removed the crumbles for our chooks, and poured the last of the lard into a separate container as I thought it may have a porky scent. So I ended up with close to 3kg lard from 5kg fat, all white except the last jar was just a very slightly darker white. I LOVE tallow but suspect lard will be awesome too.

Potatoes were used to remove the beef flavor from the tallow. I add a sliced potato towards the end of the rendering.

Forgot to mention, I use tallow for most everything. Makes a real fine pie crust. Have never canned tallow. I store it by pouring the hot melted tallow in canning jars, wiping the rim and then put a lid on.

Are you concerned about seed oils at all?

@@MichelleVisser I would not define the biblical dietary instructions as “strict”, but yes I follow that. God’s instructions are for our blessings (if we follow His instructions) or curses (if we do not follow His instructions). God says it’s bad (an “abomination”) for humans to eat pork or any part of the carcass, so the healthiest thing to do is to not consume it. God defined what is food for us and that has not changed. Jesus didn’t come to destroy any part of God’s Law (instructions), but to fulfill (do) it. Christians are instructions to walk as Jesus walked and He followed God’s instructions and taught against added restrictions by the Jews. I do not want to meet Jesus and hear “ depart from me, you workers of lawlessness” Matthew 7:12-23. John 12:49, James 1:12-25. Duet. 14:3-8
