#tallow #faqs - Навчання та стиль
My first memorable scent of tallow (rendering it for my first time ever recently!) smells like what I know as the scent of "unscented" lotion! No wonder! Funny how the industries and their marketing has done such a great job of levitating us delicately away from our deeply connected roots.
Can you show how you clean up? I’m always so worried about my plumbing when it comes to washing all of the bowls and utensils I use for the process.
This is my question too as well as just the easiest way to degrease everything!
Fat I remove from the cleaning process can be tossed or saved to make a candle. Can also mix with saw dust, or other type of item to make fire starters. I find many ways to use all my tallow I rendered.
My tallow is gritty, like salt (but now salt) …when you rub it in, and create warmth with the friction. But it definitely feels gritty.. before the rubbing and friction melts it. Thank you
I just rendered my first tallow this week and used kauai grass fed beef. I did the immersion blender trick before i saw this and it worked great. I fed all the leftover chunky small grisly bite to my chickens and a bit with the dogs. Everyone was stoked!!
You and your husband have created some lovely children... Blessings to you all. Thanks for your videos. My first render was a huge success!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support :)
Thx! great advice.
Loving your shows Marisa
Thank so much for this video answered all my questions great tips
Thank you kindly for sharing your experience
thank you for all the explenations!
Thank you! You answered my questions. I loved the experience of making my own tallow from start to finish.
I did mine.. we are hooked ❗️❗️❗️
Fantastic and informative 👍
Thank you. My first time and you led me through it. I had big chunks of leaf fat, so I used the immersion blender method....worked beautifully. When I went to pour the final product into my mason jars, I couldn't see much water. to be sure, I tossed the last little bit, because it may have been water. I've watched your other rendering videos...such valuable info. God Bless you and your family.i
Game changer with the immersion blender trick! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you so much!! You’re the best ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for making this video it is very helpful
You're very welcome!
im currently rendering my bacon and turkey grease mix. wish me luck guys!
how did it went ?
You are a Godsent Marissa!
Great video and really informative! Thanks Marisa.
You're so welcome!
My wife and I had been wanting to render some beef Tallow, and I came across your videos. Thank you for the information!
I just rendered a big batch of tallow from our cow but I'll be trying your method next year!
Nobody does it better! Thanks again. ❤️🙏
Thanks!
You are an excellent teacher! I followed your method and got it right the first time.
Thank you!
I love all your videos, thank you!! My question is about eliminating water in the finished product. Any tips?
Can I use the slow cooker function on my instant pot?
Any certain salt to use?
Great tip for the immersion blender!
Can you pressure cook the fat to make the process faster?
Thanks for all your videos! Thanks to your tips I successfully made tallow… now to try the purification step with salt water to see if it will be less smelly for body cream & candles
I’m like whhhhhhy am I today old to now know this! Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Can I use the wet method in an instant pot instead of a crock pot?
Can the wet method of rendering be used for pork fat?
Thankyou for all this information I am only just beginning but was curious if it can be any faster in a pressure cooker ?
Thankyou
I made a face cream with some tallow I rendered and it's wonderful! My question is why is the tallow and oil separating?
Thank you for your wisdom!! But I would like to know if you use table salt or sea salt??
Can I make it in a rice cooker??
If your going to seal the jars and store for long term, is one purification step enough?
0:57 Do you still have to purify Fatworks tallow for lotion?
10:55 I feel like such a good student! I used my immersion blender for THE FIRST TIME today after having the thing for 4-5 YEARS bc I thought I'd needed it a few years ago. Works like a charm. I'd chopped my beef fat last night and let it crock all night on Low. Still chunky looking this morning. Ready to strain soon. Still a little nervous for filtering, but I'll definitely check back in! Thank you for sharing & teaching your ways!
Thank you for sharing! Hoping it works out for you :)
Oh I have N immersion blender I never thought to use that to grind the fat first excellent idea!!! Ty
This is a game changer! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and enthusiasm.
do u set the crockpot on high or low?
if I burn it slitghly, is it still usable...? for skin, not eating
Do you use purified water, distilled water or tap water?
What is the shelf life of tallow balm and scrub and can we use this as a business purpose??? Thnakyou
GREAT video I enjoyed very much! I can only get the shrink wrapped packages of beef suet, so I allow them to sit out on the counter for about outside of the package for about an hour, then I cut it up. The knife glides through it easily cutting it up. I'm sharing this because "I" would make a gigantic mess if I used my immersion blender! Oh, my, would I ever! Lol!!! I have that 'knack!' Lol!
LOVE all your suggestions and I learned about purification from YOU! Thanks! I didn't know about the extra step! I use my tallow for cooking, but I do dip into the jar to dig some out (I've bent spoons my tallow sitting on the counter is that hard!) and I'll still rub it on my hands for lotion! No odor, even without the purification process! If there was a slight odor, I've grown accustomed to it and it doesn't bother me at all, and no one has ever scrunched up their noses at me or found me offensive smelling...yet! Lol!!
I do enjoy your videos very much! Thank you dearly!!!! You're a gem and have beautiful children!!! Mine are grown and married with children of their own, my grandchildren now! 4! Wow! How FAST the time flies!
Can one make lamb/mutton tallow as well? They are naturally grass fed as well 🤗
What is the best way to jar whipped tallow?
Thank you. I wondered about the crock pot lid. I mentioned on zoom to some friends that during the pandemic I was trying to learn to render tallow. A friend surprised me with home grown grassfed beef bones. I rendered tallow following your recipe. I rosted slow for first render then took the rosted bones to make bone broth and when that cooled took the tallow from that. I did two of your purification methods and it is beautiful. I did not purify what I wanted to cook with and it does have a beefy smell. The rest is pretty oder free. It is golden when melted but whiter when solid. Tried your recipe for whipped balm and added some stress free aromatic oil I had here and it came out marvelous. Still will be ordering from you because he only does one to two cows a year. I really have a hard time here finding someone to get the fat from. Its a very regulated state.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
So very informative thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
I wonder if I can pick your brain
Emu
I have just processed one of my emus and was wondering which method would be best used for rendering emu fat to make the tallow/oil?
Ideally I would like to keep it 100% pure
With it’s intended use as a Topical ointment for skin ailments such as psoriasis and eczema
However I’ve also researched it can be taken orally
Would I be able to consume the final product?
Sorry so many questions
Have you ever used or have knowledge of using the fat rendered from bone broth? I have a ton of it in my freezer because I didn't want to throw it away, but didn't know what to do with it.
I did the purification process twice each time, because it made sense to do that, only I wasn't aware of using salt. From what I recall, it still had a slight beef odor.
Do I have to use grass fed tallow? I have some Wagyu tallow, it is not grass fed.
What about using a pressure cooker? What would be the result?
What type of salt is best to use during rendering? Does it matter?
First question answers mine ! Lid ON it is . Making my first batch now following your instructions ..
Awesome! I hope it turns out for you :)
Hi, thank you for your video! I have a question, I got some tallow already rendered and it’s very white and very hard. They claim it was from grass fed cows but is that possible with it being so white?
What if I added too much water to my second purification? Will that boil out during the double boiler process?
FYI Twice my tallow blew the lid off the crockpot and made a super big mess!
How do you make absolutely sure you don’t get water in the finished product? I’m currently scraping any uneven areas off the bar but it makes me nervous. Do you ever blot it with a cloth?
Good afternoon. I was wondering what your take is on what some have said about the tallow having less beneficial properties when wet rendered as opposed to dry rendering with some beef smell still in it?
Thanks for this follow up video! I am 6 hours in and was disappointed that i surely did something wrong, but ill just leave it over night! :)
Question: the butcher raises 100% gradsfed cows, and the hunk of fat he gave me had a good bit of red within it. I did trim it and am making two batches, but im wondering if this is necessary. Is it best to use only clean, white fat for tallow for skin care products or next time can I render it all together?
thank you enjoy and appreciate the knowledge you share in your videos. Really like the stick blender idea, so much easier then cutting it all up.
?Any hints for easy clean up? lot of work cleaning up! maybe its me
You're welcome! I wipe everything with a paper towel and then wash as usual. It's the best way I've found :)
Coconut soap is the most to clean oily surfaces.
Am I still able to make soap with my rendered tallow if it's burnt?
I have rendered my beef tallow. I enjoyed doing it and I feel it came out fine. My question is my tallow is extremely white. Very pure white. Does this mean I did not get grass frd tallow from my butcher?
So I ended up with waygu tallow. I completed the steps to purify and started my steps to make lotion. I set my bowl in the fridge to let it firm up and it does not. It is similar to a runny hand lotion consistency. Not sure what I did wrong. I used olive oil and my essential oils with proper measurements. Or is it because of the type of fat I used?? 🤔
So can you render tallow/fat from cooking beef? I’m thinking yes. Just checking bc this is new to me! The fat is currently peachy. ? TIA
I made beef tallow without looking up how to do it and I just fried fat in a skillet and strained it and some of it is not a smoother consistency..the best way to describe it is curdled or it has little bubbles in it. Is this Fixable by restraining the right way? Or should I just toss it? Does it go rancid when exposed to air for too long? I may have left it opened to long to cool? I don’t know but I want to understand it.
Thanks so much! Your videos are very helpful!
can you do a
video about the inmerser blender trick, i have been 2 hours cutting and washing up
to render tallow
im so tired
I fully rendered my tallow, but at fully room temp/cool, it is sweating oil. Not water- oil. I re-heated/redid the whole process several times to make sure it was fully rendered and no water was present. Do you know what’s going on? Can I safely use this and put it in a jar? Is it shelf stable?
It’s been purified and looks great aside from the “sweating.”
Is there anything the collage or "gelatinous stuff" left over after the tallow is rendered can be used for?
Hi! Thank you for your videos! I’ve tried rendering beef fat a few times now. I think I’ve successful and have made some really beautiful soaps with it.
Most recently, I was finding that no matter how long I cooked the fat in the crock pot there were still pieces of fat in the bottom that did not completely melt. Did I do something wrong? Is this normal?
I have since strained them but before I discard I’m wondering if I should give them another go and if safe to do so?
How long do you Purify for?
Hi Marisa, I went to 3 places to see if they had 100% grass fed fat available to purchase, but they said no. What are other option for me? Can I purchase it already in the store?
ok, my question is, should my tallow i buy from a butcher yellow in color or a slight pink color? i paid for grass fed, grass finished and fat around the kidney but i got 2 colored fats. yellow and pink. which is the right color for premium tallow?
What type of salt are using? Plain, Iodized, sea salt?
I am so glad I just heard of your method with the emersion blender. I bought a new Bamix blender and couldn't wait to use it. Then the butcher gave me a 2lb of beef fat for free and I decided to try your water render method but got impatient. Impatience X exciting new blender....
And the I thought 😨 what have I done!
Phew, Marisa says it's okay. Thank you!
That's great! Thanks for sharing :)
does salt draws out nutrients from tallow during rendering process...???
Hi how much does it last the tallow when we do the face moisturizer? Do we need to keep it in the fridge or can we keep it in our bathroom?
But crockpots leak phalates and lead is there an alternative like an aluminum pot???
I just rendered my first round of tallow and I'm not a fan of my house smelling so strongly of beef haha. Is it okay to use the crockpot outside next time? It is winter, and I don't want to ruin anything, but I can't stand the smell.
I know this is an old video but if you or anybody knows: is the a grainy texture when hardened part of the normal variability in consistency? The tallow is almost totally clear when liquid, but when it hardens and I touch it and rub it between my fingers there’s a grainyness like some of the fat is melting before the rest. Running it through a cheese cloth didn’t help. I did a small batch from rib trimmings that didn’t have this issue. It’s disappointing because I planned on making everyone tallow balms for Christmas but I think this would gross them out.
Thanks for the great info. Can I use a Dutch oven to render the fat❓❓❓I have an enameled cast iron Dutch oven.
Yes you can!
I'm also wondering is it worth using an immersion blender cause it takes way to long to strain the after the cheese cloth for me takes another couple hours of straining not inky the cook time might be better off cutting to small pieces and use one strainer unless you have to many small pieces either way the second strain would be easier without using blender
How do you know when it’s done rendering. I’ve had a crockpot going for 36 hours and still have what looks like fatty pieces there. I used grass fed organ tallow and diced it very small. Kept adding water to make sure it didn’t burn with lid on. Please advise. Thanks
Hi, love watching your videos on Tallow and learning about it. I did have a question, if I bought Tallow from the grocery store made by Fatworks and it says "premium cooking oil" is that the same thing?
Thank you! Yes it is :)
i have been using your method to render and whip tallow... however, my end product hasnt been consistent for some reason.. some comes out whipped perfectly and other times the same batch will turn into a more liquid consistency, almost melted. I even went as far as measuring out by grams to ensure nothing was different. any suggestions as to why this would happen?
You are a great teacher. The wet rendering works great and also the immersion blender. Brilliant. Question. Have you ever used DMSO or Castor Oil in your balm products? I find Castor Oil very helpful to my skin issues. I have learned that DMSO helps absorption of anything it touches, so it seems to make sense to add it to a healing balm. Any thoughts?
DMSO ?
What video tells how to purify with salted water? How & when to add the salt ? Ty!
Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/M4UiZe4mjmg/v-deo.html
I’m making my first batch right now. It was a little under 3 pounds and I cut it up into small pieces and then covered it with water and 2 tablespoons of salt. My crockpot only has two settings, low and high. I’ve had it on low, but I noticed that your other video it’s almost bubbling, should I put it on high? I’m afraid it’s going to burn if i do. Would I know if I burnt it? And then how do I know when it’s done? Ty!
Can you use a instant pot and slow cook setting?
Yes!
I’m so glad I found you. Love your videos Marisa. They so informative. Thanks so much. Question, can I use trimmed fat to make tallow? I called all beef grass-fed farms in my area (I’m in Canada), and the farmers cannot get the fat around the kidneys or around the internal organs. Will it work?
Thank you! Yes, trim fat will work, it will just make a softer tallow :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you Marisa 🤗
I am in Canada also and we just had two steers butchered, we always get the suet back as well as all the fat and scraps.
Is it possible to do the purification wet render on a stove ??? I have wood burning stove and a gas stove .. ?? I do have a crockpot but sometimes we don’t have great electric power where we live . Thank you in advance.
I think you could, as long as you can keep the temperature low enough!
I make beef bone broth often. I would like to use the tallow that hardens at the top for balms. Would you recommend removing that fat and doing your purification method the same way that you did with the fat chunks?
Someone in the comments above stated they did that ...
Thank you so much for your great training. I want to do your method in my factory in industrial scale. Does it work? Do you thinks that some amount of sodium hydroxide will help better deodorize the tallow?
Sodium hydroxide will hydrolyze the fat, making soap out of it
Newbie at this. Picked up my beef from the butcher and asked if they had tallow. He gave me a huge bag. Won’t fit in any pot I have…..wanting to do this once I used my plug in turkey roaster. It works great but I am afraid I under rendered the fat. I used wet method and it was a large amount. I wanted to go to bed to strained it and let it set out…..should have put in the fridge…..didn’t solidify. Skimmed off the fat and put back in today for a second cooking. Is it possible to understand cook your fat?
Your rendering procedure is simple and very easily explained. I made goat tallow. . Now I am planning to start tallow business but I was advised to add butter or ghee flavour and beta carotene for colouring .This type flavoring is important where I live. Any advices??
Good for you! I have never added those things, to make balm I add a little olive oil and some essential oils. Hope that helps!
@@BumblebeeApothecary I added essence of Ghee and butter and then added egg yolk colour. The result was excellent. It came out just like ghee.
Thank you for all of the wonderful information! I am currently rendering some beef tallow. It isn't leaf fat-I couldn't find any of that. I have followed your instructions but am still tasting quite a bit of salt in the tallow...also, it is taking a really long time to set up in the fridge each time I've done it. Am I supposed to keep purifying it until it loses the saltiness?
Thank you again for doing these videos..it is so helpful!
You're welcome! I'm happy to help. With the softer trim fat, it will take longer to harden. Letting it harden in the fridge overnight should work. The salt should also come out into the water and not stay in the tallow. If you scrape the bottom of the chilled tallow, it should come out pretty pure, and not stay salty tasting. Hope that helps!
Thank-you for the tutorials. We dry rendered some fat, added olive oil and whipped it. It has a beautiful creamy consistency and colour. I didn’t happen to notice your updated video on purifying, so I’ll try that next. In the meantime, I’m now assuming there’s no health harm to spreading unpurified beef smelling tallow on the skin. Also do you have a recommendation as to a good slow cooker?
😂😂😂 noooooooooo
What is the temp you use in your crockpot? What temp is to high?
Does burning it change its properties?
Thank you
I use my crockpot on low :) I'm not sure what the exact temp is, but the lower the temp, the better! Burning will make it dark in color and have a strong smell. I would imagine it is somewhat damaging to the nutrients, too.
Can we tender suet on an instant pot too? What settings?
Yes, I used my Instapot for rendering. I have a slow cooking option on mine.
Hey! Thx for sharing. I have only a pressure electrical cooker. And the saute option is for only 30m and it allows me to put a glass lid just like the one u have but again it's only for 30m. But if i want to cook up till 12h i will need to use other options, And all the other options i must put the big lid on. So meaning it will have some pressure on the cooking so any tips? Btw, my electric pressure cooker name and model is (nutricook smart pot prime 6)
I'm happy to try and help, although I haven't ever tried using a pressure cooker to render, so I'm not really sure how that would work. You could try it and keep an eye on it. I do think the sauté function might be too hot. Another idea is to look for an inexpensive crockpot to use for rendering. You can often find them at thrift stores for very cheap. Hope that kind of helps!
@@BumblebeeApothecary I've found tallow rendering recipees using de pressure cooking for about 1 hour, so the rendering is done through pressure... do you think that could be an option? Or do you see any inconvenience?
