    Nice! I’ve never rendered a large quantity of lard but growing up we kept our bacon fat. It is called schmaltz,we put it on toast.

    This is perfect, i just smoked a couple racks of ribs and for some reason one of them came woth a massive chunk of fat still on it (i’m talking like three brisket deckles-sized hunks) and i definitely am smart enough to not throw that money away haha. Cheers!

    can you use other types of pork fat, bacon, salt pork, fat back, and the fat you cut off regular pork meat? just asking

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes but it will have a pork taste to it rather than a neutral taste that leaf lard provides.

  • @joeykirkland876
    @joeykirkland876 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just curious, why not do the rendering in a low temp oven instead of the stovetop? Seems like you would have better temperature control and would avoid hotspots on the bottom of your dutch oven caused by the direct heat of the flame.

      Mine is a Pro Cut KG-12-SS which I don't see on Amazon anymore. The KG-12-FS is there which is a nearly identical model. I highly recommend the Pro Cut. They are expensive but they are far superior to the expensive ones at Cabela's

      Lake Chad (in French: Lac Tchad) is a large, shallow lake in Africa. It is economically very important, providing water to more than 20 million people living in the four countries which surround it - Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria. It is located mainly in the far west of Chad, bordering on northeastern Nigeria.
      Spirulina Ladies of Chad
      For many generations, Kanembu women have passed from mother to daughter the traditional methods of harvesting spirulina from Lake Boudou Andja in Chad to make dihé.
      women cut the algae cakes into small squares for sale in the local market.
      The average consumption of dihé could be as high as 50 grams per person per week. More than 250 dry tons per year is produced, making these ladies of Chad nearly the highest volume and certainly the lowest cost producer of spirulina in the world.
      On the shores of Lake Chad, a group of women and girls work in the shade of a solitary tree. Temperatures here regularly soar past 40℃ yet the women work tirelessly to harvest and process the blue-green algae known to health-conscious consumers all over the world as spirulina. Nearby, a cage contains racks of drying spirulina paste, which, once turned into tablets, can sell for up to €20 a pack in western health stores.
      spirulina has been used for centuries as a traditional food by indigenous peoples in both Africa and Central America.
      . These are little stretches of water on the east side of Lake Chad.
      Dihé is harvested throughout the year, with a small yield in December
      and January and a larger harvest in the rainy season, between June and
      September. Only Kanembu women harvest dihé. Men are banned from
      entering the water under the belief that they would make the lake
      barren. For over a thousand years the Kanem-Bornu Empire
      was a dominant power over central North Africa. Its sphere of influence
      covered Eastern Nigeria and Niger, the Northern half of Chad, Cameroon,
      and Libya. Its inhabitants traded with Egypt and sponsored Islamic
      schools as far as Alexandria

    Hi Dan... if I understand correctly, the leaf-fat comes from around the kidneys and it
    is somehow different from the other pork fat, right? I've had some pork fat in my freezer for a few years... I've not rendered it bc I'm no longer certain what kind of pork fat it is... Is all pork fat rendered the same way?

    • @TheGrassfedHomestead
      @TheGrassfedHomestead  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correct, the leaf fat is from the kidney area. It's the good stuff for cooking. Though I've never rendered back fat, I think it can also be rendered but it won't be the high quality cooking/baking fat. Back fat is typically used for salami and charcuterie in general

    • @donnastormer9652
      @donnastormer9652 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Leaf fat is delicate and tender. Most butchers don’t like to keep it because they cannot use it in making sausages. But it’s that delicacy that makes such beautiful pastry Lard and the best tortillas that you have ever eaten!

    There's nothing gross about the redish pieces. In southern Spain we do chop the fat in fine pieces and mix with coarse salt. We spread it on toast raw. Taste amazing.

      Yeah it’s simply a coincidence that the “epidemic of the 1900s” (heart disease) began concurrently with a MASSIVE DECREASE in lard consumption, right?
      Lard didn’t cause heart disease for all of human history until 1900… don’t be afraid
