Lard generally refers to pork fat that's been rendered on its own without anything else to add flavors to it if I'm not mistaken.

Since bacon has been cured/smoked and you then cooked the bacon in the grease you rendered you end up with a lot of flavor compounds dissolved into the grease that wouldn't be there in lard, so that's generally why it's just called bacon grease or bacon fat.

Might just be a case of common usage moreso than an actual difference in definition though, I'm not honestly sure.

I can find lard slightly cheaper than butter in the USA but it's hydrogenated and has preservatives. I've heard Mexican stores will make and sell their own for cheap since they use it a lot more but haven't checked myself. Everywhere else lard is treated like a specialty product since it's only really in demand by people doing stuff like the keto diet or something similar.

Yes, all fat does, I usually reuse it 2 or 3 times and that's it, but it's pretty easy to tell when fat is oxidized and shouldn't be used. Also, the shelf stable hydrogenated lard you buy at the grocery store is pretty much just as bad as vegtable oil for health if that's part of your interest, you have to buy unprocessed lard or tallow if you're concerned about the effects of hyrogenated fats on your health

>> No.17096915

I couldn't imagine high prices on unhydrogenated, classic, straight up lard. In the US the cost of lard is approx 2/3rds the cost of the cheapest butter or less, and butter is still ~18% water so lard is noticeably more product by weight if you ever applied them in similar situations.

Here in Germany it's slightly cheaper than butter, but clarified butter is way more expensive than lard. Flare fat is also more expensive than fatback lard. Pork fat is also often used to stretch the more expensive goose fat. I don't know why we have goose fat though but no duck fat like the French.
We also have plenty version used as a spread for bread, which often contain onions, apples, marjoram, thyme and sometimes typical sausage spices. Some contain fried bits from the rendered cuts. Those are also more expensive than regular lard. Those varieties also exist in eastern Europe.
Still animal fat declined strongly in popularity. It's mostly used by elder people, in rural areas or by hipsters. But the latter would rather use beef tallow, which isn't really traditional here.

>I usually reuse it 2 or 3 times and that's it, but it's pretty easy to tell when fat is oxidized and shouldn't be used.
tfw I've been using the same dutch oven full of oil for years now, I just add new oil to the old and it's developed this really multi dimensional taste. It's like like a quarter canola, a quarter peanut, a quarter corn, and a quarter lard at this point. Am I going to die? I really like making french fries in it.

How do I use lard in a frying pan without the sizzling coating my entire stovetop? I have to use medium-high heat or it just sits there and slowly dries out. Obviously the food is patted dry before added to the pan.

Or lower the heat, or higher sided pot/pan to cook in.

There is no way they can outright ban the slaughter of domesticated livestock. The subsidized cash crops they grow have a massive amount of byrpoduct completely inedible to humans like chaff and oil cakes. Not to mention the raw materials used to mine artificial fertilizer are very finite and unsustainable to say the least. Manure is CRUCIAL for feeding people sustainably. And thats not touching that banning livestock would just make people sell the wild animals killed for crop protection for meat.

I know this makes vegans seethe, but the truth is many people, including myself, who attempt to abstain from eating animal products get incredibly sick. Taking a very important part out of the human diet would lead to a revolt. The government couldn't succeed in prohibiting alcohol, they couldn't succeed in prohibiting drugs, what makes you think the prohibition of animal products would go by any better?

hydrogenated, ie. hydrogen blocks it from oxidizing at room temp, if it isn't hydrogenated it should be refrigerated because oxidizing means becoming rancid.
rancid oil, lard, etc. distinctly has odor/flavor that is unpleasant.

Wtf, apparently lard has less saturated fat than butter? That is not what I expected at all
I guess I'll eat lard more often and cook with butter less
>>17108432
I just buy it from the supermarket, 'prime lard' and I assumed lard was 99% of the time taken from the same fat location
Maybe I'm just confusing the aroma with the taste though

It's just a fact of lard that you "cant" cook, in a frying pan, with it on medium-high heat without beginning to splatter? The lard I had was admittedly quite old but had no weird smells even as I left it on the counter (out from the fridge) for a whole day.

No its going to polymerize just like any other fat would when you bake it in the oven onto your skillet and form that nice nonstick surface.
Another way to do this is just cook fatty meat in it all the fucking time.
I wash mine with soap every week or so and use it every day and most of the time I just scrape off the leftovers and wipe it off, and its already seasoned really well after a year of use from being scrubbed down to the raw iron basically.
tl;dr
Don't fucking worry about it so much, cook on it using animal fat A LOT

But there's a significant difference between butter, ghee, olive oil compared to lard. Those first 3 go decently high and browns nicely while the lard I had (going to try a fresh one) went pretty overboard before I could get some nice browning going.

Animal fat in general can't be beaten by shitty seed oils. It's better for you and cooks better, so of course the Jews would make it more expensive.

I actually made butter for the first time today. Got some cheap heavy cream on a short use by date and electric whisked it for a while. Wasn't sure I was doing it right but after a while it starting clumping, and before I knew it I had lots of good quality butter. Used it to fry some diced chicken and mushrooms earlier.

Saturated fat isn't bad for you. What's bad for you is polyunsaturated fat because it oxidises to hell and back which causes all sorts of damage in your body. All animal fats are pretty stable and don't oxidise easily, but seed/vegetable oils are already super oxidised before you even buy them, and they only get worse as they sit in your cupboard or you use them to cook. Don't worry about saturated fats, just focus on eating less seed oil and more animal fat.
