What is Beef Tallow?
In short, beef tallow is a rendered cooking fat made from the fat of a cow. Yes… – beef fat. But saturated fat is awful right?
There are many posts out there which explain why saturated fats are actually healthy (see this video which debunks the saturated fat myth in 2:35).
You can read more about whether saturated fat is healthy by visiting our Product Info Page.
The fact of the matter is, vegetable oils (corn, soy, canola) are most likely genetically modified and are highly refined with deodorizers added to cover up what would be a very rancid smell.
If you want to find a so-called “healthy” fat to use for frying then you would generally turn to coconut or palm oil, but this can get pricey.
To fry a batch of French fries you need quite a bit of oil. How did I do this thing called ‘rendering’ and what if I messed it up?
There were many different methods – wet and dry and in the end, I chose the method that seemed like it would be the easiest to clean up after – the wet method.
We were pleasantly surprised after using beef tallow for frying.
The fried items came out crispier and surprisingly light. They didn’t soak up the oil and fried up easily.
