Comments on: Beef Tallow French Fries http://www.cheeseslave.com/2009/08/07/beef-tallow-french-fries/ For the love of cheese. And bacon. And butter. And raw milk. And all those other things we're not supposed to eat.

It's the best fat for getting lots of flaky layers. :) Cheeseslave,

Try using lard in pie crusts and pastries. It’s the best fat for getting lots of flaky layers. :)

We have been told for decades that the hydrogenated oils and fats are better than animal fats and tropical oils but now we know that hydrogenated oils and fats are trans fats and it's the trans fats that are killing us. The people in southeast Asia and the Pacific island nations where most of the tropical oils come from actually have much lower incidence of cardio-vascular disease and they still use those "bad" fats and oils in every meal. The problem is that we have been fed this lie for so long that when you try to convince someone that these so called "healthy" oils and fats are more harmful than the old fats and oils that we used to use, they think you're some kind of nut because the so called "experts" told them one thing and you're not an expert so how can you question what they know?

Fried chicken, chicken nuggets, fish and chips, etc. I also use it as my favorite fat for all my pie crusts. Never tried it in cookies. I have found one rendering to be sufficient. I have been using a coffee filter which works very well. If you are just straining through a seive, you might need to do two renderings -- or add a coffee filter or paper towel I guess you could give the grizzle to the dogs - why not. Hi, Julie

I have alot to use now and am wondering if this tallow is good in other things or if it will give a beefy flavor to things like cookies? i am excited to try the french fries....we have 5 kids that love them. also, i stored my tallow in wide mouth plastic freezer containers made by ziploc. the top twists off and holds 3 cups. easy to measure. another question: when i rendered the fat i put it in the refrigerator and then chunked it and rendered it again. there was only a very small amount of skimming on the top. wondering if that second time around was necessary? also, can i use the meat and grizzle left over for dog food? thanks, julie we just butchered a 1/2 of beef and i kept 4 pails of the fat and rendered all of it.
