  Fat soluble vitamins are so important! Eat the lard, eat the butter, drink the whole milk. God gave us these things and we evolved eating them. Stay away from processed because nearly all the good has been processed out. Thank you for the video's.

  I am from SouthAfrica and have a lot of sheep fat and wondered if it will work as well. I tried rendering it in my croc pot, and it works like a charm. It came out snow white. No wasted fat anymore👌. We use it for cooking and frying.

  What perfect timing!  My kids just had a hog processed and they had the butcher save the lard fat for me. I am picking it up today.  Have never rendered my own lard.  The processer use to render the lard but he no longer will do that so....I will be doing that myself in the next few days!   Thank you so much for you time.  I was worried about how to do this and prayed about it and, of course, God sent me an answer as He always does!

  the last rendering i usually end early, mix scratch grains and such in, pour in a bowl, and make a suet cake for my chickens.

  Thank you for your comments Melissa; my mother was raised on lard, she’s perfectly healthy.

  I spoke to an orthopaedic surgeon last night at work and he was advocating for grass fed meat and tallow / lard. I will keep eating my meat and fats that go with it. Loving your videos.

  Wish I had known about the 8 hour timeline before starting... Everything in the pot, just started, and it&apos;s 5 in the afternoon. That will teach me to watch the <b>whole video</b> first!

  Loved this video. I’m an old farmboy and grew up rendering lard in black kettles and filled several 5 gallon cans of lard every butcher season. The quantities are different but your technique is similar. I’ve started rendering my own tallow and lard in my kitchen and like to see how others are doing it. You’ve got a great technique and would advise anyone to follow your method. I use the crockpot but just today am experimenting with the slow cook function on an instant pot. Since I’ve returned to eating &nbsp;like my farm days, including lots of animal fat, my health has improved immeasurably, now in my 70s. We have been so lied to by the govt regarding food. Getting back to basics is important and your video is a godsend for folks seeking to get back to healthy eating. Thanks much.

  Fantastic tutorial. Our neighbors butchered a pig. We bought the &nbsp;meat and they gave us all the fat and I don&apos;t think any is leaf lard. Neighbor suggested we give to dogs and what not. I came to see how to make lard without leaf lard. &nbsp;The 3 renderings are so clever. Thank you.

  Heres a good tip for the stovetop or slow cooker: lowest heat possible, slowest render. It&apos;s done when it goes whisper quiet, no more sizzle. Easy, if your fire stays low.
