Do you cook with tallow or lard? What do you like to make with them?
Both! And they make firm soaps that you can do so much with. A good basic recipe for soap and you can make anything from that. My latest was a beef tallow soap with thyme, rosemary and lemon. It smells divine. With the herbs finely grinded in the soap. The tallow was from Highland cattle, so it was a bit harder then ordinary beef tallow.
Eating a piece of meat from the grill in the summer with tallow is something completely different than an vegetable oil. I make a herb/tallow paste and smear it over the meat.
I'm going to try sheep tallow next. My neighbor has a small hobby farm and they are starting slaughter now. So I'm getting beef, sheep and moose tallow soon!
Wow, so many great ideas here! I love it. Thanks for sharing! 😃💕
Tallow and duck fat.
I know french fries taste amazing with tallow, but am afraid it will cause us heart disease, is it the case? or there's nothing to worry about?
both
I'm in SE Asia and lard is easy to find. Because of its high smoking temperature, I use if for stir-fry and baking. I'm told that Belgium, where the 'French' fry orininated, that they fry their potatoes in tallow which imparts a deliciously distinct flavor. Nice video, thanks.
Thank you for sharing :)
yes it's true :)
Never tried tallow, lard many times...going to try tallow. Everything you said is true since cholesterol is good for healthy brain function since cholesterol is a cell builder. Cholesterol is probably the most important molecule in the body. Great upload! Thanks! 👍
So true!! Thank you!
I would say H2O is equally important
@@proverbalizer .... that's like me saying "yo mate, O2 is more important than H2O"
For skin?
Tallow is also an excellent waterproof for work boots,I’m sure its mentioned in comments somewhere but thought I’d throw it in the mix🙃
Thanks for sharing!
Perfect!!!! Just the info I needed. Thank YOU!!!
Note: lard stays good longer vs tallow but for folks that cook a lot it shouldn't be a issue.
Thank you for explaining the difference.
After i try both of them i prefer tallow , when i fried the steaky pork ,so its oil is splashing while tallow is still ,i think there is difference of nutrients and molecule and it smells good too.
Just rendered some tallow .... blown away soooo good ..also enjoyed the chicarones ...
Glad you like it! :)
Thank you for the tallow video. I tried it and it was perfect. :)
Great to hear!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 Excellent video😘
Since we raise our pigs in the forest I ask for the leaf lard when we butcher and render it with a slow cooker. I love it...it is very neutral tasting.
That sounds wonderful! Good for you :)
Great video I always wanted to know the difference and wow I had no clue that they contain vitamins!
I’m a new subscriber, I want to know more and want to use it for cooking and frying vs those bad canola and peanut oils…
I prefer tallow but both are worth having and using.
I like both Great Cooking Thank You So Much 😊
I love Farrow Skin Care! Skin food and face food! You should try their brand. Pig lard is main ingredient! Healed my dry spot on my upper lip.
Thank you for sharing! :)
For folks that cook a lot Buy by the bucket not the jar more cost effective. If you cook or use only every now and then the jar is just fine.
Do you iuse both trimmings and suet to make tallow and can they both be used the same way? Thank you!
Very informative thank you.
Very interesting. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome! :)
are they interchangeable in soap making?
ounce/gram for ounce/gram?
I could just listen to you all day Marisa. Blessing to you.
Aww thank you! 😃💖
If I have access to lard or to deer or sheep tallow, could those then be used as a substitute in your recipes?
Hey, Thanks!
I remember back in the early-mid nineties, I discovered that McDonald’s french fries were made with beef fat. They were really tasty. I was so disappointed when they changed to vegetable oil. My friend, who was a vegetarian, was absolutely disgusted when she found out it was beef fat lol
Great video - thanks for your public service too. If no grass fed fat is available to make Tallow any recommendations
Thank you so much, you're very welcome! You can definitely use regular beef fat, it still has great benefits. Grass fed just has more nutrients :)
😊 thank you!
Nicely done, thx.
You're welcome!
Love both
I know that some people use lard like a skin balm to avoid any strech marks during the pregnancy.
Yes! I love using tallow balm for that :)
In Argentina we use the cow fat...never saw the pig one until a few years ago...but no common....we just melt the fat....n is solid when ccool
Great video! Would you in the future do a video on how you prepare and fry fries in beef tallow? Thanks!
Thank you! I actually already have a video on making beef tallow fries :) Here it is: th-cam.com/video/DB9FtPjVI3Y/w-d-xo.html
@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you❤
Marissa, thank you for all your recipes, especially those on rendering tallow. I’m looking to render leaf lard and was wondering if I could render lard exactly like you render beef tallow. Using the wet method. I love the wet method for tallow and wondering if I can do the same with lard. Thank you!
Thank you! Yes, you can do the same process, you will want to harden the lard in the fridge or freezer though, since it ends up much softer than tallow :)
I use lars because it's super easy to find, I never found talow in my country (Brazil)
tthhhhaaaankkkk youuuu
Hello... I cant find any organic beef in ny town... Can I use just regular beef fat? Thank you!
Thank you for this video👌👍
You're welcome! :)
Lard is easier to wash and pork fat is traditional food here and can be purchased anywhere. Back fat has a clean flavor, but costs more, similar to butter actually. I can eat lard by itself, on bread with eggs and wipe the plate completely. Tallow is like chewing on a candle, and it stinks. Can you mix tallow and lard without them separating again to get a lower melting point? How about vegetable oils? I have doubts because one time I poured off liquid lard, as if there was a different oil at the top.
I'm not sure, I haven't tried mixing them.
I hope to begin raising some Goats and Pigs soon...so... once i teach myself Butchery, i should be set on both Tallow and Lard. Geese perhaps also. Might see if i can apprentice at the local game Processor.
Can you use lard as lotion ?
For home fries I prefer the duck fat but I use lard for most my other cooking and tallow I use for my skin
Duck fat is amazing!
To me lard is way more soft and absorbable than beef tallow. Tried my rendered pig fat today - lard and amazed :)
Lard is great, too! Tallow has a wider variety of nutrients, but I love lard as well!
I made some beef with potatoes and carrots in the crock pot, when we were done I took it out and the fat on the beef turned white and I saved it. Can I just take those bits of fat and use it for cooking eggs and such or do I have to render it first?
You can use it as is
Since there are many videos about how to make odorless tallow/lard I have to assume that it has an odor to it? Does it stink?
What about the smoke point for each? I don’t think I heard that in the video. Otherwise very helpful and informative video, thanks!
Great point! Tallow smoke point: 400ºF Lard smoke point: 370ºF :)
Smoke point:
Regular Butter 302F
Ghee or clarified butter 482F
Tallow 370F
Lard 400F
So it sounds like lard is good for more delicate flavored things, baked goods, pork, chicken, fish, etc, and tallow is good for beef, fries, and maybe other savory things like fried veggies and that?
Tallow doesn't include vitamin D? Interesting actually if the cow is out on pasture most of the time.
Do you know if the fat marbled through the muscle meat has those same nutrients? (If from grass fed beef that is.)
Grass fed cattle can have plenty of outside fat, too. The smoke point is lower than grain fed. Lard flavors things more, which may be objectionable, it also picks up more flavors from what you cook in it. Grass fed tallow should be yellow from the vitamin A, when I see white tallow advertised as grass fed, I think someone is cheating.
Tallow stains are hard to clean off the utensils and kitchen cook tops. How do you deal with the issue since it solidifies very quickly?
I use hot water and dish soap and paper towels for certain things.
I enjoy your videos very helpful! But realistically it’s very difficult to find completely grass fed cattle to make tallow from. My mother in law processes her own raised cows and they are fed hay not fresh grass. From my experience it’s almost next to impossible to find unless you raise your own cattle on a farm. Sprouts among others will not sell their beef fat because they aren’t licensed to do so. But from what I’ve seen even grain fed cattle tallow can still have many amazing benefits.
Cattle eating hay is the same as 100% grass fed. It's when they're fed grain that they're not 100% grass fed :) And yes, even fat from grain fed cattle has benefits!
There are sellers on Etsy who sell grass fed beef tallow
I was surprised to find grass-fed beef tallow at my local grocery store Reasor's, it's not cheap but I did not think I'd be able to find it sans ordering online.
@@melrose795 Fannie and Floe. I messaged them to see if their animals are grass finished.
@@stephaniethomas7207 Haggens grocery stores up in NW WA sells organic grass fed tallow and I found their lard too; but I live in mo now and I don’t see it. Maybe look at a Whole Foods or something…
Thanks! but what is suet? lard with bird seed?
Suet refers to the fat from around the internal organs, as opposed to the trim fat :)
Wagyu has a lot of fat. I have a jar and a half of it. We live in the Middle East, and we can only find wagyu skirt steak for our fajitas. So we always buy it uncut and save the fat and render it. I have alot of it .
what can i do with rendered tallow 2 times that likes to stay apple sauce texture,,(soft) at room temp? use more SL to make it hard in receipe for soap? would it be better in a hot process receipe to make it get hard without the SL, its not getting hard in soap without the SL. thanks.
I'm happy to try and help! It sounds like you have soft trim fat. Whenever I've used soft trim fat to make cold process soap, it turns out fine and doesn't affect the finished bars at all. So I'm not sure what else to try, but some people add beeswax to firm it up when making other skincare.
@@BumblebeeApothecary i make soap flower molds and need it harder to pop out, have tired SL but didnt help as much as i had hoped. maybe body skin creme would be better use of this butter soft tallow?
It's easy to find Lard on the self at Walmart regularly. Tallow on the other hand I never see in a Market display. That's to bad because I'd rather have Beef Tallow for those original McDonald's French Fries from the old days. I'm not much on do it yourself type operations and doubt I'll take the time to render down my own. Thanks for the insights anyways.
hmm I made some beef tallow from cutting up a large portion of striploin into steaks. it looks pretty clear but I have an issue. I have lost the sense of taste and smell. so how would I know if it stinks lol
Oh dear, great question! It sounds like it turned out well - maybe someone else could smell it for you? :)
Great comparison. My problem with lard is there really are no rules that dictate what the pigs are fed or how they are raised. Any "organic" lard can be made with confined hogs that eat their own byproducts and hydrogenated-vegetable fats. Whereas "grass-fed beef" is a federally regulated term that actually means something.
Why do you trust what the makers of tallow say but don't trust the makers of lard?
That's odd. In that case both could be lying.
Yes anyone can lie without getting caught. Which is all the more reason to support strictly regulated products and brands that abide by those regulations or have 3rd party stamp of approval.@@TheFracturedfuture
@@lars2894 Completely agree. I just don't know why you think lard distributors can't be trusted?
I trust reputable suppliers. Issue is with the lack of availability of thoroughly labled Lard products. E.g. Heritage Pork Sourced, Sustainably Raised, Pasture Raised, Non-GMO Feed, etc.
For the most part I've only seen "organic" here in the US, and that doesn't mean anything. Just like "free-range chicken" doesn't mean anything.@@TheFracturedfuture
You think so. I question everything that is gov. Regulated and labeled. What kind of pesticides and herbicides are in the grass.
Traditional British Fish and Chips use lard for frying fish and tallow for the chips or French fries as Americans call them. Now many fish and chip shops use sunflower oil for some strange reason.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Political activism is behind the change from tallow to vegetable oils. McDonalds was forced to change their recipe for fries from tallow to whatever poison they use now.
Tastes better cooked in vegetable oil, less fatty and you can still taste the foods' flavour.
@@antipodeanvagabond : misconception hahaha vegetable oils were used as there is a surplus so they pumped them and sold them as frying oils. Vegetable oils like sunflower is meant to be consumed cool like over a salad if you fry them you denature them and they cause inflammation in the body, animal fats are way more stable and healthier for digestion. As an alternative butter is also good or use coconut oil for the vegan version. You are supposed to be active anyways and plus you only use fats for frying sparingly, if you are having fish and chips daily then you ought to be a ship builder which is what this kind of food was designed for, the industrial hardworking age.
@@antipodeanvagabond Vegetable oils suck
I cook with tallow always, but afraid of it's oxidizing or it's smoking point
I prefer lard, but only because I eat bacon and use the left over grease. I would have to buy tallow, so really its a price thing. I will experiment with both. I know it's been a yr since posting this, but anyone wanna comment on using either for skin products like lip balm and soap?
Great question! Either can be used for skin. Lard contains a lot of vitamin D. Tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, K, and many other nutrients :)
Hey thanks for all your efforts.
I'm into epic duck fat right now... but have some bison tallow in reserve. Thanks again.
You're welcome! Oh duck fat is awesome, too!
Duck fat with home fries 😋😋😋
Very informative
Thank you! :)
Hi i am from india tallow uses pls tell me
I buy a grainfinished steer every year. Tastes better than grass fed any day
Grass fed has healthier balance of oils
Can you eat tallow straight of the shelf without cooking?
You can eat tallow on its own, but it's tastier with other foods :)
Hi Marisa, I prepare the fries last night and they were delicious, I just have a question, I have high cholesterol , around a year ago I started using just butter for cooking but my lab results were even higher, so do you think tallow is not an option for me? Thanks.
This article should help :) www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/cholesterol-friend-or-foe/
Absolutely particularly if you are on Keto or a Carnevoure diet - great for naturally treating Diabetes ( no fries thou on this diet)
high cholesterol is not a problem. clot activation and ldl hdl ratios are
Do you eat a diet high in processed sugar or simple carbs?
@@nelsonr1467 Hi, I do not use much sugar and carbs I eat rice maybe twice a week, breads not much. I'm not a bread or sugar eater. Tks
Can I use tallow instead of lard in soap recipe
Yes! I would recommend looking here: bumblebeeapothecary.com/pure-tallow-soap-recipe-how-to-make-soap-from-scratch/#more-896
Can I replace tallow with another fat or butter for cosmetics?
Shea butter has a similar consistency, so that might work.
@@BumblebeeApothecary shea butter is a gift from the gods, so good for skin.
How about sheep tallow?
I'd be interested to hear you talk about cooking with tallow/ard compared with butter.
Great idea, I'll add this to my list of videos to make, thanks!
Can i eat 50 gram of beef tallow with bran bread
Can mutton tallow be used instead of beef tallow
Yes!
Any info on goose fat ?
It is also very good! Very high in nutrients when it is from free range/healthy geese. I will have to make a video on the nutritional content of other fats, including goose fat :)
Where is the best place to buy tallow?
Here is a good place :) shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1378709&u=2281503&m=51217&urllink=&afftrack=
Pig and humans share a lot of dna properties. I wonder if the lard would be better to our skin? Just a thought!
what do you think of sheep fat?
Sheep are pretty much always grass fed, so I think it's great! The nutrients are very similar to beef fat :)
Is it safe to eat tallow fried foods that have cooled down? Tallow solidifies like a candle.
Yes it's safe, just not quite as tasty as when it's hot :)
Ok
What is the shelf life?
Saturated fats are quite shelf stable. I keep mine on the counter for several weeks, and they last in the fridge or freezer for pretty much forever :)
So basically.....they're both the same ......but different!!
Miss Piggy vs Mr Cow
I've been making homemade bone broth (mostly beef meats/bones) for six months now (yum) ....... and after cool and separated
I keep the TALLOW in a container and use while cooking
Then thought "what the difference between T vs L"
.........and BAMMMM your vid was perfect
Thanks
Yay! I'm so glad :)

Which of them has more cholesterol?
I think they're very close, but lard has a tiny bit more. But healthy fats aren't the problem, inflammation is what causes high cholesterol in people, from what I read :)
The body can make cholesterol. If you eat 0 dietary cholesterol it adjusts and makes more, if you eat plenty of dietary cholesterol the body adjusts and produces less. Dietary cholesterol doesn't really effect blood cholesterol levels...other factors do
Tallow makes food delicious.
It sure does!
the sound doesn't sound right
Noted, thanks!
Can I assume they are interchangeable in a recipe?
In most cases, yes!
@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you for your reply. I have been reading about tallow and lard and their health benefits but I'm really curious where does ghee or coconut oil fit in the mix? Maybe you could do a video on that topic?
They both have their uses. So one isn't better. Lard is easier to get.
Why no closed captions? I can't watch :( :( :(
Does tallow has bad odour?
If it gets hot while rendering, it can have a beefy smell. I have a method where you can purify it: th-cam.com/video/M4UiZe4mjmg/w-d-xo.html
The thing is most tallow actually taste beefy and more while lard depends also lard isnt that good isnt it?
I cannot eat lard since I'm muslim. So I'm wondering if I can use tallow for pastries if its clarified.
Yes you can! I've made piecrust with tallow before, and it turned out great :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary thanks! I definitely want to try it.
@@hyrunnisa997 man Muslim have a great culture about beef, sheep, goat, camel, horse, bufalo. You can make tallow by all this animal.
@@mike0133 religion does not have a food culture .😂
@@Lionoftruth7 untrue. All religion have a food culture, some example: think about Jesus's multiplication of fish and bread, The prodigal son return celebrated with beef meat, the easter celebration in some christian country with lamb meat, think about jewish religion that forbid seafoods, muslim can't eat pork, think about Ramadan.
Tallow
I simply eat raw tallow, everyday...
Do your part to reduce cow farts, by eating them one at a time.
Isn't tallow also made from pig?
We call tallow dripping here.
McDonald's originally fried their French fries in tallow. Too bad they don't return to that so they are healthy.
You are absolutely right.
Tallow made McDonald's fries so good. Then they stopped using it.
I haven't found good quality lard nor tallow so far...
Tallow makes mice candles :))
Lard wins for me
Making candles with tallow is on my list of things to do :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary I like lard as its half the price
Lard...... because I can actually afford it.
Love the topic. Audio levels make the vid unwatchable.
Sorry to hear that. What volume is your audio set at? I make the audio on my end good at medium volume. I haven't had any other complaints on this, so I'm not sure what's going on.
