My daddy would render the lard and we would all be excited for the cracklings. We would end up with a big box that we would share with neighbors. Crackling cornbread really was a special thing in our house.

I remember rendering lard when I was a boy with my Daddy. We did it in the late fall to early winter after we butchered our hogs for the year. We had a big black cast iron pot and a rack to hold it over the fire. Daddy would get a wood fire burning under it and let it settle down to glowing coals. We would cut up the fat and put it in and and go all through the night. It made for some good times to sit and just talk as we we kept a watch on it. by morning it would be ready to jar up. I can almost smell it and see Daddy stirring and watching over the pot. Thanks Danny for sharing this with us and bringing me back a fond memory of times long gone now. God Bless you and Wanda. Mr. Tom

Thank you Dannie. I knew how to make lard but you taught me a easier way of doing things. My dad had laid down a couple of hogs. He had us younguns scrape the hair off of them I wasn't even school age yet. My dad is gone now and consider them to be fond memories. Have consider bringing it back with my family.

I use to watch hubbies grandmother for hours render lard. He did it on top the stove in s stainless steel pan. She would take a big metal spoon and dip it out as it rendered. She wouldn't let any of us help because she was afraid we'd get burnt. Good memories.

been doing the same here--love lard for biscuits and the cracklins for cornbread and wow are they yummy when they are fresh made. I just a big blue roasting pan in oven set at low and just render as it melts. I have froze mine but this year I canned mine as freezer if full-thank the Lord! God bless.

MY grand parents had a 40 gallon cast iron cauldron they used to render lard in . Wed did it outside in the fall of the year and they would get between 40 and 50 quarts every year. They also used it to make fried pork skins. I was a great time for all. She used the rendered lard for pies, biscuits, frying chicken and fish in. It was put on burns as well.

Came across your video and brought back memories. Raised on a farm west of St Louis we processed 15 hogs for the whole family (4 boys & 3 girls plus spouses and kids) every year. Love the cracklings too. We would always cut the fat in small cubes. When the lard was near rendered my dad would run his finger through the bubbling grease. He claimed when done the lard would not burn you. Although I had seen him do this many times my brothers nor I would have the nerve to try doing that. We cooked the lard in large iron pots using wood to heat, being very careful when it was close to being done to pull the coals away so it wouldn’t burn.

@kleineroteHex 3 жыл бұрын
@@DittoMike1 hydrogenated means hydrogen gas is added- it makes it more shelf stable; partially hydrogenated lard has other oils added as well so that is the one to stay away from! Hydrogenated vegetable oils are not good because the hydrogen fills the "empty spots" that make an unsaturated fat and thus make it saturated. Lard is naturally a saturated fat, I am not sure it becomes unhealthy with added hydrogen, since people add hydrogen to water to fight oxidation in the body. But I would prefer just natural lard, especially if I would use a lot.

We had a pig farm on our farm as kids. All the pigs were free grazing. The sows after birth were all kept in crates though, back then and now crates are getting banned. I had no idea it was cruel but it was done to prevent the piglets from getting crushed. I think now there are no 'shut ins' for sows and piglets.

Nice one. Did some for the first time in the slow cooker last month but didn’t know the grinder/mincer trick. Will give it another go when this batch is used up. I wasn’t sure with mine whether to start taking off the rendered fat as it went, or to wait until everything was done. I waited, but I think now that I should have just taken it off as it went. If you’re still around, I’d be interested to know.

Plastic has a similar chemical structure to fats, being made from petroleum a hydrocarbon, so if you did use plastic it would be a bugger to clean. The fats, assuming it wasn't hot enough to melt or warp the plastic which is possible depending on the exact type of plastic, would bond tightly to the plastic and be difficult to get completely clean. A thin film might be left and if you use that spoon for something that is fat sensitive, like making egg white foam or something, it might give you some troubles.
