Making tallow from suet
Total time
Cook: David
Recipe type: Ingredient
Serves: 1.5 kg
- Grind the suet into a paste, I use the meat mincing attachment on my stand mixer
- Add heat, I put it in the oven for 1.5 hours on 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Once fully melted scoop off the waste floating on the top.
- Pour off the hot liquid into a clean container through a sieve.
- Let this stand at room temperature until cooled
- Break up the hard tallow which will now be on top of liquid that settles out below the fat.
- Melt tallow in the oven again.
- Pour off the hot liquid through a sieve into the final container for storage, I use a Pyrex container with a lid. Alternatively molded it into blocks.
