I wash my tallow after it is melted. It takes away lots of the smell. I put water in after it is melted and let it simmer a short time. Then I cool it in the fridge and it separates. If i want it very pure, i do it twice
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!!!
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.
I'm so glad! And I love the sounds of your freezer storage! I have 4 large freezers and use hand-drawn "maps" to keep track of things, but wow you're way ahead of me!
@@YeshuaKingMessiahUsually full (er) freezers and pantry come pkg by pkg, and work and planning. Sometimes I have had Zero extra for anything, but as I learned to pray and prepare, Food sufficiency improved. Also shopping the sales helped. I tried to have (at least) $10(or more when possible) extra every major shopping trip: to buy specials, or other items that I needed to put up the specials that I bought, when they came on sale. 😊😊 One place that I lived; I learned that every year in August, this one store would carry frozen chicken leg quarters by the 40# box less than $ .40/ lb. So-I would plan to set $$ aside for this: buy plenty of freezer bags(some every shopping trip as $ available) make sure my canning jars were clean, plenty of new canning jar lids on hand, get the chicken home, wash, repkg some in freezer bags, can lots, cut off the back bony pieces to cook for chicken broth, usually put in bags in the freezer until the current project was done and all the mess was cleaned up. This applies to whether the store had green beans on sale this week, or I needed more freezer bags for an upcoming project. 😊1🙏🙏
Shorting makes great candles. Fill a jar with shorting, just push it in and push in a small candle, like a birthday candle. This gives you a wick, but you are going to burn the shorting, for hours. Only way I use shorting.
I LOVE RuthAnn! She is such an inspiration! I could listen and watch her for HOURS! She reminds me to find joy in the things we women have to do to keep our families fed and healthy ❤️❤️❤️
I have followed homesteading with the Zimmermans for almost 2 yrs. I adore her. Also, I follow 3 different sisters. Farmhouse on Boone, Our oily house, and Our sunshine home.😊❤
fun! I'm friends with Lisa (she's been on the podcast a few times, one just recently). I knew her one sister was on yt, but i didn't know about the second one!
I love Ruth Zimmerman. I watch her quite often. She gives a lot of information and so simple. Thanks for the video very enlightening. I did watch a video on tallow and it said if you put in slow cooker add 3 tablespoons of salt and water and let that render down, then put it through a strainer and then put it where it freezes, and the tallow separates from the water and then you scrape the bottom of it or any impurities then if it still has a little odor, you process it again, the same way and that helps get rid of the beef smell
Love tallow and lard. People think I'm crazy when I talk about the health benefits...I make my own face cream from tallow. Luckily my dad raised us with butter, we always had wild game food and butter was a must when cooking it. I remember when margarine was being pushed, I just didn't like it, tasted like plastic to me. Thank you for video, love Ruth!!
I've really enjoyed this video. Like you, my mom switched us to vegetable and canola oil when I was young because she believed it was healthier. I live on a beef cattle farm in Kentucky and am very interested in learning to use tallow. This was so helpful and educational. Thank you!
I lived in Alaska for a few years, land of the midnight sun. I was introduced to Eskimo Ice cream, indigenous peoples made it with wild berries for sweetness and whale blubber (lgelatinous) for the fluffy whip, and some of the natives mad it were the Crisco, mostly near cities. So with hard the traumatic adjustment to reduction of their nomadic lifestyle and foraging, hunting and gathering, resulting in sadness as well as SAD (seasonal affective disorder dear), lead to many consequence .
Lovely conversation! I am encouraged to render the frozen leaf lard in my freezer and to ask my beef farmer friends for some tallow! I always enjoy sharing farmhouse conversations, thank you both!
Mine always had to eat two bites. They weren't allowed to say they didn't like something because that would spread to the others, and they wouldn't like it just because someone else said it. Almost always they would get more of it. My youngest son would ask for spinach when we ate out. The waitress would always look at me before writing it down. I'd nod and say he would eat it. They didn't believe me until they came back to the table and his double order of spinach was gone. If they had to gag to get it down, they didn't have to eat it.
My mom had a rule at the table that we had to take at least 3 bites of everything served. She often softened the edge of that rule by making a large amount of mashed potatoes (which we loved) with meals where she served things we abhored. She encouraged us to eat each bite with some potatoes. It worked well. I learned to enjoy green vegetables after eating them with potatoes over my early years.
I am currently rendering my first batch of tallow for skin care and soap. This was the most extensive and informative conversation about both lard and tallow. Thank you so much for sharing.
I put a thin coat of iard or bacon grease in my cast iron fry pan & heat it just til it starts to smoke.remove from heat.let cool.that will season the pan,so food wont stick ,then add whatever you want to cook in.butter,olive oil or bacon grease or.i never use teflon.😮😮
I so regret raising my children on processed seed oils, and not much of those! Thank you for spreading the word! My skin has improved with an animal fat diet. I use tallow for my facial.
I'm right there with you, Robyn, I raised my kids on all processed JUNK and wish I knew better then!! (And YES I LOVE my facial serum made with tallow!)
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.
Yes, Parkay and Blue Bonnet Margarine, Crisco shortening, Wesson corn oil, Bisquick and other "foods" is what my Mother used. At the time they were being told it was healthy food. Loved this video, thank you. I've seen You Tube videos on using Crisco and shortening for candles, you do need wicks.
Other great uses for vegetable oils. Applied correctly corn oil is a nice wood finish. If you have a petroleum based stain on fabric. Work vegetable oil into it. When it dissolves, it will wash out with dish soap especially Dawn.
You can push long taper candles into the shortening, 2 or 3 in a large container, for the wicks. As a bonus, you can often find taper candles at thrift stores very cheap.
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.
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.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I use a lot of butter in pastries. Personally prefer tallow for pie crust. Restaurants use to use lard or tallow for deep fried foods. First basket of fries tasted beefy.
Growing up, we would get our lard in 5 gallon tins and we just kept it in our unheTed basemen I was reminded when you were talking about picky eaters and you mixing homemade and store bought ketchup My partner used to be very picky and Brussel sprouts are my favorite and I would say he had to eat 5 halves and he would. The lemon butter I put on them helped.
Sun Gold Cherry and Dark Chocolate Cherry tomatoes are two favorites in my garden. I'm allergic to the acid in most red tomatoes but have discovered these heirloom varieties that are flavorful but low-acid... Caspian Pink Brandywine Pink Cherokee Purple German Pink & a surprising tomato delight: Pineapple 😃 all Yummy 🥰
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.
I have just found this video. We eat very little pork or beef but mostly elk, deer, and antelope. Can the fat from wild game be processed in the same way as tallow and lard? We process our own meat, and purchase butter, olive oil and avocado oil. I have learned a-lot and enjoys this video.💜🐞
So glad you could join in on our conversation! I'm partial to lard in almost every way, but I believe ghee is a good choice. I personally haven't used ghee.
Ghee is clarified butter U simmer butter till proteins drop to bottom and ur left with an oily liquid u pour off Keeps forever on counter I think butter is more flavorful but I love dairy- cream too n milky things!
Thank you both for sharing 🙏🏼 I use butter &or extra virgin olive oil... I've never used lard or tallow 🤔 I did substitute applesauce for lard in my grandmother's EgglessMilklessButterless cake recipe. I've stopped using shortening and all other fake or real oils four years ago... I discovered that some additives in processed foods & most soda drinks are from human fetus 😭😡 I amNot a cannibal! therefore All of those 'foods' in my pantry were removed. I use Mediterranean Sea Salt (never any salt brands with additives!... deep dive research on additives revealed poisonous) I heard that tallow is used in making soap 🤔 I've not tried this yet
I cut both types of fat into small pieces while they're still somewhat frozen. I get more tallow and lard out of the fat that way. I also cut any meat off and usually end up with a good deal of meat that I grind for meatloaf.
@@blablabla2616 I've never used tallow, only lard, but it lasts for many long years and unless it's very hot and humid I just keep the one I'm currently using on the counter. The sealed ones get stored in my root cellar until used
@@MichelleVisser I mean, some people say that it's best to consume these healthy fats raw, because they believe that the nutrients get removed when we render the fat into tallow. Do you know if they still retain everything? (like the vitamin D for example) I used beef tallow and lamb tallow and I'm wondering if I'm getting the nutrients, or if I need to consume it raw.
Isn't it suet in the beef around the liver that is like lace fat or what ever you are talking about with the pig.. Am I right about that.. I just learnt this couple months ago when i decided to learn to make tallow.
@@roflpill Tripe is actually part of the stomach ,, lining of the stomach i think... I should not have used the words lacy to describe suet fat.. but it does looks different that the rest of the fat in the cow . Maybe it looks more squiggly LOL not sure how to put it. Look for it in the store and you will see clearly suet looks different compared to the thick longer chunks of fat sold as beef fat in its package.
@@MichelleVisser thank you for your reply 😊. Oh my goodness, I thought I had already learnt alot from RuthAnn about tallow 💞. (I follow RuthAnn religiously. She's amazing). I got my husband to watch this with me today 💕. He said it brought back many memories of his life growing up on the farm. Only tallow for us from now on. As per my childhood too 💖.
My Dad and brother, Bill and David Nelson, used to order from you years ago when they were going thru the Gerson cancer treatment. They loved dealing with the family. ❤
Fat from sheep, goats, and deer is still called tallow when rendered. Fat from chicken is called schmaltz, which is what my grandparents used for all their cooking when I was growing up in Germany. Pretty sure any type of animal fat can be used :)
I hate beets and i hate peas unless it is just a few like in a chicken pie. I hate fresh tomatoes, but i love cooked tomatoes. I hate cooked cabbage, but i love cole slaw. I like oats in granola and cookies and meatloaf, but i hate oatmeal cooked.
Hmmm, I hate government interference in my food and food info. I wish all fast food would go back to tallow for fried foods. I rarely eat fried foods or visit fast food stores. I'm in the food biz and have culinary school background for food, b&p, and 7 yrs as a chocolatier and many nutrition courses. I hope these subsidized ingredients change and we get back to real food..
I enjoyed this, but I found the constant interruptions to Ruthann very annoying. She couldn't finish a thought without being interrupted. I'm sure it was because of excitement in the topic, but still...
@@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
Then stick to tallow, schmaltz, duckfat, lamb fat I save all our beef grease and chicken grease and fry up skins for more grease plus the skins are chicken crack! 🤤
????????are you aware of the book, BLOOD TYPE, BODY TYPE AND YOU? It's written by Dr Joseph Christiano, a humble, patient man who loves Jesus......it will make you aware of why certain children have certain tastes..pass on to Ruthann..I follow her also but she knows you. Tomatoes are highly inflammatory and children are given a sense about these things...😊....thanks for the conversation. Asparagus is high in oxalate too...seasons play a part and full moon....this is why we...girls...hv the ability to juggle 10 things at a time! God knew our jobs..lol...??????
I just love Ruthann. I've really enjoyed your podcasts with Ruthann. Thank you for your wisdom too
ruthann is great, and I'm so glad the podcast encourages you :)
I wash my tallow after it is melted. It takes away lots of the smell.
I put water in after it is melted and let it simmer a short time. Then I cool it in the fridge and it separates. If i want it very pure, i do it twice
We live fairly near an Amish community and go to an Amish butcher. I can buy lard already rendered. Love it!
i love it! I'm blessed that I can even pick up a pound of Amish butter at my regular grocery store.
I'm so jealous. 😢 I want the fresh milk so bad, it tastes soo much better.
Where do they sell this with the Amish? Would you need to buy directly? I have been to Lancaster but never noticed it there.

Great information! Sad to say I have crisco. Now I need to learn about tallow.
Like I said, I had crisco in my kitchen all my adult life until just recently. I can relate.

When growing up we were poor we didn’t get lots of junk food on a regular basis
You weren't poor... you were spared from a fast- food-slow-poisoning!
Yes!!
How long do you pressure can lard? I’m sorry, Tallo.
How long dose tallow last once jar is opened ?and do you keep it in fridge or cuboard?
@@blablabla2616 I've never used tallow, only lard, but it lasts for many long years and unless it's very hot and humid I just keep the one I'm currently using on the counter. The sealed ones get stored in my root cellar until used
I've heard different thoughts on whether or not the rendering process removes the nutrients/vitamins... what's the truth here?
not sure what you're referring to? But lard and tallow are genuinely the best fats out there, in my opinion.
@@MichelleVisser I mean, some people say that it's best to consume these healthy fats raw, because they believe that the nutrients get removed when we render the fat into tallow.
Do you know if they still retain everything? (like the vitamin D for example)
I used beef tallow and lamb tallow and I'm wondering if I'm getting the nutrients, or if I need to consume it raw.
@@misse2013 I've read studies that have measured amazing amounts of vit D in lard
@@misse2013I thot it was just lard high in vitD
Lamb fat is?
My grandma always said bring the oleo!
My mother in law had recipes that said oleo
yes! I see that on old recipes
Oleo was from WWII
They mashed up a color pellet into to turn it yellow.
My aunt remembered doing it as a child (born in ‘35)
Are you concerned about seed oils at all?
Guess not
They don’t eat ‘em
No concern lol
Isn't it suet in the beef around the liver that is like lace fat or what ever you are talking about with the pig.. Am I right about that.. I just learnt this couple months ago when i decided to learn to make tallow.
hmmmm i'm not sure, maybe...
Pretty sure the lace fat in cow is called tripe.
@@roflpill Tripe is actually part of the stomach ,, lining of the stomach i think... I should not have used the words lacy to describe suet fat.. but it does looks different that the rest of the fat in the cow . Maybe it looks more squiggly LOL not sure how to put it. Look for it in the store and you will see clearly suet looks different compared to the thick longer chunks of fat sold as beef fat in its package.
Caul fat is a very thin,mesh looking fat. I've seen Italian sausage wrapped in it😊.
Yes, it is. I have pictures of it in the linked article. And yes, I will sometimes use it to make sausage links.
@@MichelleVisser thank you for your reply 😊. Oh my goodness, I thought I had already learnt alot from RuthAnn about tallow 💞. (I follow RuthAnn religiously. She's amazing). I got my husband to watch this with me today 💕. He said it brought back many memories of his life growing up on the farm. Only tallow for us from now on. As per my childhood too 💖.
I have been a drop coordinator with Azure for 35 years. Started when we had a young family and David’s dad was CEO.
wow!!! that's so cool!!
My Dad and brother, Bill and David Nelson, used to order from you years ago when they were going thru the Gerson cancer treatment. They loved dealing with the family. ❤
❤Ruthann
Sun golds are so sweet and delicious
I leave mine out by on the counter by my stove
me too
we don't eat lard which is a pork product ..so beef tallow, lamb, goat.... thats what we need
I watch MeatEater. When they take an animal they cook some of the meat on camera. They usually wrap the heart in caul fat and cook it.
Okay, so Tallow is from Cow and Lard is from Pig. Are other animal fat sources used? Particularly I am thinking of Sheep.
Fat from sheep, goats, and deer is still called tallow when rendered.
Fat from chicken is called schmaltz, which is what my grandparents used for all their cooking when I was growing up in Germany.
Pretty sure any type of animal fat can be used :)
I hate beets and i hate peas unless it is just a few like in a chicken pie. I hate fresh tomatoes, but i love cooked tomatoes. I hate cooked cabbage, but i love cole slaw. I like oats in granola and cookies and meatloaf, but i hate oatmeal cooked.
U need to learn about hunger lol
U would learn to eat alot less picky
Yes, cows have caul fat too
yes! I love it
Please let your guest speak with out interruptions
Hmmm, I hate government interference in my food and food info.
I wish all fast food would go back to tallow for fried foods.
I rarely eat fried foods or visit fast food stores.
I'm in the food biz and have culinary school background for food, b&p, and 7 yrs as a chocolatier and many nutrition courses.
I hope these subsidized ingredients change and we get back to real food..
I enjoyed this, but I found the constant interruptions to Ruthann very annoying. She couldn't finish a thought without being interrupted. I'm sure it was because of excitement in the topic, but still...
Beef definitely has caul fat. Same with all beasties.
Id be mean too if someone put me in a pen and milk me
Lard is unclean and not food.
I assume you follow strict dietary laws? I feel very much to the contrary, that lard is very healthy fat
@@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
You need to do more research on other sites
Then stick to tallow, schmaltz, duckfat, lamb fat
I save all our beef grease and chicken grease and fry up skins for more grease plus the skins are chicken crack! 🤤
????????are you aware of the book, BLOOD TYPE, BODY TYPE AND YOU? It's written by Dr Joseph Christiano, a humble, patient man who loves Jesus......it will make you aware of why certain children have certain tastes..pass on to Ruthann..I follow her also but she knows you. Tomatoes are highly inflammatory and children are given a sense about these things...😊....thanks for the conversation. Asparagus is high in oxalate too...seasons play a part and full moon....this is why we...girls...hv the ability to juggle 10 things at a time! God knew our jobs..lol...??????
Blood type diet is a myth
I’m A+ and have always done well & much better on high meat diet. My very good friend too.
Oh my yes! When you know how you don't dirty a bunch of extra pots or utensils! I made my first bone broth and has sooo msny extra dirty dishes! Lol
but good for you!!! its so exciting making bone broth!
@@MichelleVisser and turned out delicious!
