How to render beef tallow
Report
Tallow is semi-soft beef fat that’s great for high heat frying as it remains very stable under hot temperature and imparts a good flavor. It’s also used in artisan soap and candle making. In this post, you will learn the benefits of beef tallows, how to render tallow, and its substitute.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef fat
Instructions
- Cut the beef fat into smaller chucks. (It’s best to let the fat cool down first for easy trimming or cutting.)
- (Optional) Pulverize fat into tiny pieces using a food processor or blender. This will help to cook it faster and render more fat. But if you don’t have a processor, you can just cut the fat into small pieces.
- Place the fat into a crockpot. (No need to add water or any other ingredients.)
- Cook it on HIGH for 3 to 5 hours, or LOW for 5-8 hours. (Check occasionally and make sure it’s not burning. Give it a stir when necessary.)
- Set up a jar or bowl with a sieve on top. Pour the fat through it.
- Let it cool and then pour it into a jar. It has a yellow tone when it’s still in the liquid form.
- After a few hours at room temperature, it will solidify and turn to white color.
- Store it in an air-tight jar and it will last up to 1 year at room temperature.
