Pro tip: I like pouring the tallow into a mini silicon ice cube tray, let it solidify in the freezer, then pop them out into a container or zip lock bag. This way, I get exactly 1tsp of tallow for every cube, and it's super easy to use! It's a little bit of extra work at first but worth it. I never liked having to spoon it out from a jar.
Pro tip: Render the tallow outside in your bbq so that your whole house doesn't smell, unless you want it to!
I love this idea. going to do this for my next batch and give the credit to Phil C! Thank you! Is it weird that I like the smell of beef tallow? 😂
Great tip! Thnx
That’s a lot of effort just to get 1 tablespoon when you can literally just open a jar and scoop out 1 tablespoon.
I’ve been cooking with tallow and lard since I started my experimental carnivore diet a week ago. Makes my meats taste so savory!!
Animals fats are all i cook with for almost 2 years now. Way more stable of a fat abd healthy then plant fats
@@steakovercake3986 great in the oven, on the stove top. 👍🏼
I recently went carnivore (well about 95%). Plants are trying to kill me so I don’t eat them anymore lol
Doesn’t taste good with beans
I'm right with you. I'm body building. I'm using lard or grass-fed unpasteurized butter.
❤ thank you very much for such amazing explanation of benefits of tallow!
I doubt our ancestors literally knew about all the health benefits of tallow, but they did eat and cook with it because that is what was widely available in their day and age. Good for them. We should do the same.
Looks like they knew a thing or 2 ..:
I REALLY appreciate this video and your work, such magnificent!!! I am Argentinian living in the UK and in our country we use to use a lot of tallow to cook! Now, I know how to get it here, in the UK and return to use it! Thanks Sweety!!!
This girl explains it so well and look how vibrant and healthy she looks.
I have a crockpot full of chopped deer fat right now. My first time butchering and my first time rendering tallow. I am thankful for UA-cam University lol!
I’ve watched a few videos and decided to do the wet method using water. I’m using the crockpot and will have it on low overnight.
I quit eating plants including plant oils earlier this year as plants just give me so many symptoms. I love my meats, eggs, and animal fats and have learned how to pressure can a few months ago and now learning to hunt, butcher, and render tallow.
Next time I will be sure to save the visceral fat but it was way too cold when we got the deer to mess around with the organs out in that cold wind. I did save the heart tho as that is my favorite part to eat (and is loaded with the nutrients that my body craves).
Thanks for this video!
Dogs can eat all that too ❤
I really appreciate this episode!! And you! ❤️ Thanks for sharing the valuable tips n tricks
You did an excellent job at explaining what tallow is and how it can be used. I also appreciate the health benefits and versatility. Thank you for answering my questions!
So something I’ve seen others do (I haven’t had the chance to render tallow yet) is add a little water to the mix. The tallow cools and leaves the water at the bottom, and most of the impurities end up in the water. I feel like that makes sense cause then you don’t have to scrape off as much of your tallow.
I think the cracklings are my favorite part.
Not sure if I have ever commented on any youtube video and i use it almost daily...but this was a great SOLID video. Informative beginning to end, thanks strong sistas!
Love your dogs! Oh yeah and your video too LOL. I just bought some suet and was wondering this procedure. Thanks 🙂
I've had tallow that lasted me a few years in the fridge and tasted as good as the first day I made it!
what fat? organ or meat?
did you re use the same tallow for that long???
@@khawariqbal2659 Yes 😄
I might try this, I tried beef tallow for the first time recently and I'm in love!
Tallow is done when it stops bubbling, all the water is cooked out. I pour it through a milk filter. Last cow I had butchered I filled about 10 3 lb coffee cans.
A course grind works well if you have a counter top grinder. My grass fed tallow from trim fat is very yellow, it doesn't look like she is getting true grass suet. I pour mine through a milk filter. Tallow is done when it stops bubbling, that means the water is all cooked out.
color will change with diet. we see a differnce from pasture. its crazy! a couple miles and alittle different grass will make a huge differnce.
I just switched to tallow! Love it!
Very informative! Thank you for sharing.
Just put the beef fat in a cast iron pan, cook with 1 cup of water on medium low heat for 1 hour. No need for 8 hours on a crock pot
Yep!
I have 15 lbs of my grass fed angus fat in my freezer, we are moving cross country so I need to use it or lose it. This is perfect xoxo 💋
I have been a meat cutter for over 26 years and I retired. Now I work at a processing center and I could get all the kidney fat (suet) that I want. I have some now that is snow white and I am going to render it. To be truthful I haven't a clue on how to render or use it
That was the easiest tutorial I have seen. Thank you!
Your method by far is the best way i have seen well done thanks for video
Strain it through a paper towel or new 1 gallon paint strainers. Honey strainers work well too and you can clean and reuse them. You need to get the particles out since they will go bad first.
When you render tallow you can also make chicirones ....a wonderful snack
Ooo that sounds delicious I’ll have to try that. Not sure if it’ll work with deer fat but that’s what I have in my crock pot currently
Those pups are CERTAINLY ready to “strain tallow” ❤
Very clear and concise video. Keep all your content coming!! How is you home coming along with mold removal?
thank you so much! Appreciate that! We will need some pretty major renovations. Can hopefully be back in the house in 3 ish months. But the farm must go on! Seeding here soon, and lambs coming in July or August!
Sorry to hear about mold in your home. Don’t mess around with mold it’s a silent killer! My daughter and I have had our health very damaged from indoor molds then we got more tick bites which wrecked us even more. The two together have caused critical health issues that nearly killed me several times a few years ago and has left me chronically ill.
I’m always trying to learn more about mold illness and tick diseases and how to heal my body. Thankfully I love to learn especially about health related things and these illnesses have given me much opportunity to learn!
Looks good!
Thank you for sharing your technique!
The music was a little distracting. Don’t really need it
Sorry about that!
And then some others ask the music :( will just turn it way down next time!
Outstanding video. Thank you.
Am I the only one that loves ❤ beef crackling? 😋
I cut the fat into chuncks and after cooking for an hour or so, I ladled off much of the oil then I used an immersion blender on the softened fat and continued rendering. I thought this was a great alternative to spending a lot of time up front to dice the fat.
Great Video. Thanks.
Thanks for all the effort you put in. This channel is really great and I'll try this method. Atm all I do is fry bits of suet for oil. Quick question what do you do with all the fat from bone broth?
thank you so much! You can eat those as a fat source, give them to chickens, or give them to the dogs :p
Yep dogs seem to love cracklings
Well done, good job😊
Couldn't you have added a glass of water prior to putting into fridge and that way all the purities would have remained in the water and you could have just pulled the solid mass off the top which theoretically should've been cleaner.
Suet is my main extra now when my meal for the day is a little light.
I’ve never been a raw eater in general, but I like suet best raw and salted.
Thank you for this. All your content has been so helpful for me.
I’ve been using beef fat trimmings to make tallow, I didn’t realize that suet isn’t the same thing. Interesting
tallow is awesome!
Is there an odor in the kitchen/house from the tallow being in the crock pot for the 6-8 period? Thanks!
Yes🙂 You could set the crockpot outside on a porch if available.
Thank you. Very informative. (Background music was too loud, hard to hear you)
Oh I am so sorry :( I will remove the music next time!
Hi there :) I saw somewhere that you try to avoid heating beef fat / suet. And that you prefer to just eat it raw because it’s “safer/healthier” ? Is there a reason why? Is one healthier than the other? Just making sure :) and appreciate all your content!
Dog eating off the kitchen spoon…NASTY!!!
If we deep fry in tallow can we re use it? and for how long or for how many times can we re use the same tallow for cooking?
U glowin girl
Tallow is what candle wax is made of.... I guess you could use it for " light" cooking....:)....
Now a lot of candles are made out of soy :(
Tallow candles aren't wax candles. Wax candles are normally made from beeswax or paraffin wax although, increasingly, soy is becoming the candle base of choice. Tallow candles are, IMO, far superior to ordinary wax candles.
I was planning on using some of the deer fat I have to make some candles 😊
What was the article you referenced? The medical journal and title of article and lead author? You suggested we check it out, but we don’t know what it is or where it is.
Check out PMID: 32562735
It was in a card on the screen.
🔥
you didn't put water?
I cooked it too fast
Can I still use it
It’s not golden it’s browned
Does it smell good?while cooking?
How can you make beef tallow taste better?
Can you make biscuits with it?
Fun fact Popeyes uses beef Tallow in their chicken frying oil. At least about 12 years ago.
I’m trying to find other uses or recipes that tallow could be used for, just made a Bunch of brisket tallow from 3 brisket trimmings....any other ideas other than searing a steak or using in fries?
Can be used in baking - I hear tallow makes for excellent flaky pastry dough. Also great for making skin care products which I would like to try soon myself.
Skincare
Love your video BUT your music is louder than your voice.
Could you strain with cheesecloth inside the strainer to keep those bits out? Also wondering if you gals still make sourdough bread? I saw on your IG a few weeks ago you made einkorn sourdough and I recently started my sourdough journey but havent worked with einkorn yet.
yes! That is the ideal strain method. My parents just don't have one at their house. We have our sourdough on "pause" - our guts don't like starches too much right now with the mold stuff going on. But working on fixing some gut issues and looking forward to enjoying some homemade sourdough again in the future! The einkorn was definitely more "dense", but it is a traditional/ancient grain that has some more nutrients!
*does anyone else here like to WHIP their tallow? :)*
oooooh yes. Bone marrow whips a little bit easier!
Fantastic! Thank you so very much beautiful Angel!👍🏼🥰🥩
thank you so much Angel!
Hi ladies🙂💖
How many pounds of tallow do you need to fill a quart size jar?
From the looks of what she ended up with, I’d say about two pounds would fill one quart jar. She said she started with three pounds and ended up with a quart jar and two half pint jars. Hope that helps! Have you already rendered tallow? I’m looking forward to doing some in a couple of weeks!! This was such a great video!
Does the Apsey farms Brisket come with the flat?
Having problems getting my tallow to make right. Its not coming out hard and its somewhat Crumbley. Im trying to make pemmican and need it to dry harder and not crumble so easy. Don't know what I'm doing wrong can someone help?
Is tallow beef oil is can be use for frying Donuts?
Hard to hear her with the louder music.
How much butter or tallow should to use in one meal in tablespoons I am having 2 meals a day and I just started carnivore for my health issues please guide someone in tablespoons?
For carnivore your ratio should be 70-80% of your calories come from fat and 20-30% to come from proteins. Check out Dr Andrew Chaffee (How to Carnivore podcast/videos) and Nutrition with Judy channel
@@AllThingsConsidered333 thank you.
What's your opinion on eating raw beef suet ? Thanks in advance
U have data about the vitamins in tallow?
Thank you I actually did have interest in making some for myself, also does the place you bought the tallow from ship?
Hope you enjoy! Yes, they do! 🤗
once you put it into the jars can you just leave it in liquid form or do you have to put it in the refrigerator and then store it?
It will solidify at room temp. Most folks I’ve watched say it’ll last much longer in fridge or freezer. My fridge and freezer space is very limited currently. Thinking about investing in another or bigger chest freezer for my garage.
Is the suet the same as beef leaf trimmings ? I need to know bc I need to know what to order from a butcher
Leaf fat is the fat around the kidneys which I believe is what the suet is as well
K 1 or k 2?
I wonder if cheese cloth or muslin will help with the black bits. My strainer is similar to yours...
The other gals I’ve watched use natural/undyed cheesecloth and muslin
The music was too loud. It drove me crazy!😂
Please tell me you threw away that wooden spoon after feeding the dogs with it. Ewww
How does one get past the smell?
I render my tallow outside in the bbq.
What about eating tallow instead of butter with your meals to increase fat macros (for example 4 tablespoons of tallow with 3-5 ounces of meat)? I know you Sistas used to eat raw suet with your meals. I have tried to eat it raw, but can not find a reliable source that is palatable for me (too strong of a taste and texture). Are there reasons you would not eat tallow like this?
We sometimes add a little tallow to our plate! A good fat source. Adding butter or tallow on top of cooked steaks is so tasty!
Do the vitamins stay present after rendered? It seems like they would be boiled away. I do use tallow as well but I’m curios about the vitamin content. Thank you
Those fat soluble vitamins are largely unaffected by cooking! Tallow is a good source of fat soluble vitamins
not all beef fat ends up hard, unfortunately
i have more than a kg of semi-hard beef tallow thats practically useless for what i was gonna use it for
grass feed fat is YELLOW not white..........
Does it smell when you cook with it?
@@Mike23571113 mine smelled like piss. i don't know why?
@@patrickmcgillable perhaps it had gone rancid?
Mine smells like a hamburger.
GG
What do you think about using it to stir fry shrimp? Or just stir fry in general? Is it good for lower heat applications? I've seen its used in baking so I would assume so. Would the beef flavor throw off shrimp/seafood? I wanna buy some, it's very cheap where I just moved to. My two uses would be to quick fry shrimp with a bit of cornstarch, and to stir fry chicken and veggies.
every time i make tallow it smells like a rotting corpse. Ive used suet from multiple sources...grocery store, butcher, the latest was the fat from the 1/2 grassfed cow i bought this past november. They all smelled the exact same, nasty. i did it the same way you did in the crock pot.
I've done onr the stove and think it smells less than crockpot.
@@jennifercline6866 I’ve done it both ways. It’s awful
@@ChickenParm152 Got it, I'll see. Have small batch to try. Worst I've ever cooked smell wise in crockpot was kidney, eeww.
Odd, mine has very little smell. Smells slightly like a cheeseburger.
I’ve made Tallow before in a frying pan in a much shorter amount of time, although I have a feeling it was muscle fat rather than true Suet from around the kidneys. What are the advantages of doing it this long way in the crockpot?
To be honest I am not sure! I think you can burn the “impurities” in the fat a lot easier with that method.
Hello 👋💚❤️💜🦋🦋🦋
Ya'at'eeh!
WAZZZUP vane
Lord, Boil some beef once it cools down scoop the white grease off the top. That's Tallow. Straight from my grandma from South Carolina. All this long talking.
Music is annoying and doesn’t even align with the topic being discussed.
Good morning my ANGEL
How is Sara ?
Have a lovely day
Love PALAPAS
PALAPAS!!! Good morning. She is doing great, thank you for asking. Need to get her in a video here soon :p
i try the website its not working
www.apseyfarms.com ?
Tallow is PHAT.
That is a great way to describe tallow ❤️
Repent and trust in Jesus. Hell is real
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s lots of electric power bill. Plus the work. Maybe better idea just buy tallow.😂
Crockpots are a very low energy way to cook. I use an old hand crank grinder rather than a blender
Linda Graves 🙏
Raw fat is better 👍
