I have 10 pounds of beef.. fat. I guess the only thing to do with it is reduce it to tallow.

Then what? I only need a jar for cooking... should I make candles or some shit? Soap?

Gimme ideas people.

id do tallow and suet, its good for lots of things and can be stored indefinitely, good for frying and essential for yorkshire pudding

im already doing tallow... isnt "suet" just the fat... isnt that what i already have?

Im going to make a jar of tallow... but what to do with the rest? its going to be like two liters of fat!

You can feed for small birds for the winter, though winter just ended and I have no idea where you live. But you can use the feed regardless. Suet mixed with bird feed formed into a brick and placed in a holder is sold commercially. Like this

suet is the clean white fat. tallow is rendered fat that is shelf stable. you can fry and stuff in tallow but you can use the suet for barding/larding as well as in some recipes. tallow is going to be more useful though and lasts a long time. if it was me id just render ~3/4 of it, yeah its almost 2 liters but it keeps for ever basically.

Oh, cool. Well, my little brother and my mom built a birdhouse in their tree... so maybe I can make them a brick! Thanks!

>>5439023
yeah, im rendering some right now. My pot is really small so I only am rendering about half of it (i put more after i took the pic).

>>5439052
haha That's not a bad idea. I can go get some pre-frozen shoestrings and deep fry them in 100% tallow.

I also found out that the fat i got came from the loin and rib areas... best areas for tasty fat.
