My first memorable scent of tallow (rendering it for my first time ever recently!) smells like what I know as the scent of "unscented" lotion! No wonder! Funny how the industries and their marketing has done such a great job of levitating us delicately away from our deeply connected roots.

Fat I remove from the cleaning process can be tossed or saved to make a candle. Can also mix with saw dust, or other type of item to make fire starters. I find many ways to use all my tallow I rendered.

My tallow is gritty, like salt (but now salt) …when you rub it in, and create warmth with the friction. But it definitely feels gritty.. before the rubbing and friction melts it. Thank you

GREAT video I enjoyed very much! I can only get the shrink wrapped packages of beef suet, so I allow them to sit out on the counter for about outside of the package for about an hour, then I cut it up. The knife glides through it easily cutting it up. I'm sharing this because "I" would make a gigantic mess if I used my immersion blender! Oh, my, would I ever! Lol!!! I have that 'knack!' Lol! LOVE all your suggestions and I learned about purification from YOU! Thanks! I didn't know about the extra step! I use my tallow for cooking, but I do dip into the jar to dig some out (I've bent spoons my tallow sitting on the counter is that hard!) and I'll still rub it on my hands for lotion! No odor, even without the purification process! If there was a slight odor, I've grown accustomed to it and it doesn't bother me at all, and no one has ever scrunched up their noses at me or found me offensive smelling...yet! Lol!! I do enjoy your videos very much! Thank you dearly!!!! You're a gem and have beautiful children!!! Mine are grown and married with children of their own, my grandchildren now! 4! Wow! How FAST the time flies!

Thank you. I wondered about the crock pot lid. I mentioned on zoom to some friends that during the pandemic I was trying to learn to render tallow. A friend surprised me with home grown grassfed beef bones. I rendered tallow following your recipe. I rosted slow for first render then took the rosted bones to make bone broth and when that cooled took the tallow from that. I did two of your purification methods and it is beautiful. I did not purify what I wanted to cook with and it does have a beefy smell. The rest is pretty oder free. It is golden when melted but whiter when solid. Tried your recipe for whipped balm and added some stress free aromatic oil I had here and it came out marvelous. Still will be ordering from you because he only does one to two cows a year. I really have a hard time here finding someone to get the fat from. Its a very regulated state.

@shannonmarko6809 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I’m new to rendering. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. I don’t own a crockpot but have an instant pot(with slow cooker mode). For my first attempt, I decided on dry rendering, for cooking tallow. After 4hrs on low, no visible liquid fat, bumped it to medium, then high. After 24hrs, there was much liquid, but the fat looked jelly still, so I figured I’d put it in the oven. After 5more hours at 250F, I still never achieved crispy fat from my ground up leaf fat. So, now knowing my instant pot on slow cooker mode can’t reach sufficient heat, can I wet render in the oven for tallow for cosmetic purposes? Thank you. 🙏🏻

@BumblebeeApothecary 2 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! Yes, the oven should work, I would research what temp is low on a crockpot and try to match it with the oven, it might be around 250º F or so.

@spru-seal Жыл бұрын

Definitely can use a regular stainless stock pot in the oven. Careful not to burn the bottom. LOVE using an immersion blender to speed through the first cooling into a nice puck.

Low and slow I would think for propane. If you have a wood stove then that would be more challenging bc you'd have to really keep an eye on it, moving it around the stove top to keep it on the coolest part of the stove while on.

I’ve made your tallow balm twice and love it. I buy organic tallow from sprouts and follow your recipe. First time I added olive oil, second was jojoba oil. My tallow had a sandy texture which dissolved as I blended it in my hands. I would like to not have this texture. Any recommendations and thank you.

@sandragustafsson3125 3 жыл бұрын

The first time I rendered tallow I got that sandy texture too, but it went away when I purified it. Depending on the tallow you might have to purify it more than once. I've done the purifying step up to five times with one batch of tallow. I purify the tallow until the water is completely or almost completely clear. Maybe try purifying it one more time?

@missdorado21 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice but I purchase tallow in a 16oz jar. I’m not doing the processing step bc I melt it and add oil. I thought buying the jar was eliminating those steps. It’s good but I would like it creamy from the start.

I'm happy to help! The grainy texture comes when the fat molecules clump together when the balm cools slowly. Try solidifying it quickly in the freezer after mixing in the liquid oil, and it should come out smoothly. Hope that helps!

Hello, I had many packages of beef fat from purchasing a half cow in 2021. The fat was in a freezer/fridge that started to go out this past weekend. The fat was still cold / partially frozen, some of the vacuum bags were no longer sealed. But I figured it was all ok to render. One package smelled not so good, so I'm trashing it. Now, as I put all in a roaster oven (before I found your video) and it has such a smell. Not horrible, but not something that I enjoyed. So... how do you know if it is bad? Would it go bad, prior to rendering? I continued through and have 3 bowls in the fridge cooled. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!

@BumblebeeApothecary 3 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! I'm happy to help. With the softer trim fat, it will take longer to harden. Letting it harden in the fridge overnight should work. The salt should also come out into the water and not stay in the tallow. If you scrape the bottom of the chilled tallow, it should come out pretty pure, and not stay salty tasting. Hope that helps!

What type of salt is best to use during rendering? Does it matter?

Hi. You might want to consider remaking the rendering tallow video. I'm 9 HOURS into this and it is NOT DONE!! Then I watch this & you say it could take 12 hours?? I'll be at this till midnight. I think that would be good to have in the other video.

When I have completed the two purification steps and have left the cake to dry out a bit there is a white powdery film on top of the cake. I prefer to store in jars so Should I be scraping that off as well before melting down and pouring into jars? Also, in following this same process, after melting down tallow cakes that have dried out a day or two when I pour the tallow into jars and it cools again, it looks like an air or moisture bubble on the wall of the jar. How do I get rid so this? Or is is not a problem, will it affect shelf life? When I melt down for jars, I do not use water. Just tallow cakes heated up and poured.

I haven't had the white powdery film happen. I think you could scrape it off. Air bubbles are okay, you just don't want water :)

I’m making my first batch right now. It was a little under 3 pounds and I cut it up into small pieces and then covered it with water and 2 tablespoons of salt. My crockpot only has two settings, low and high. I’ve had it on low, but I noticed that your other video it’s almost bubbling, should I put it on high? I’m afraid it’s going to burn if i do. Would I know if I burnt it? And then how do I know when it’s done? Ty!

Does it matter if there is a bunch of blood all over the fat? Should the pieces be rinsed off?

@aniela9551 2 ай бұрын

Hi, I do rinse the fat before cutting it, 2-3 times in cold water to get rid of most of the blood and whatever else.

What is the shelf life of tallow balm and scrub and can we use this as a business purpose??? Thnakyou

Thank you so much for your great training. I want to do your method in my factory in industrial scale. Does it work? Do you thinks that some amount of sodium hydroxide will help better deodorize the tallow?

@karatepro97 4 ай бұрын

Sodium hydroxide will hydrolyze the fat, making soap out of it

Hi how much does it last the tallow when we do the face moisturizer? Do we need to keep it in the fridge or can we keep it in our bathroom?

How do you know when it’s done rendering. I’ve had a crockpot going for 36 hours and still have what looks like fatty pieces there. I used grass fed organ tallow and diced it very small. Kept adding water to make sure it didn’t burn with lid on. Please advise. Thanks
