>hrm i gotta try this hash brown. i been roasting potatoes lately

>now now my appetite wet for has brown lol

>i b cook in lard though. no coconut oil here

=====> , lard is great but if you want coconut oil:

http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/ I joined with a few friends and we bought ten

bottles wholesale. Great stuff. I make hash browns by grating potato then

frying in plenty of coconut oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and eat with raw butter

or kefir sour cream. yum yum

ps. is it just the lard from the supermarket? I'm leary of it because it's not

organic. maybe I'm too paranoid

Hello Filippa

That is awesome thankyou for link. Yes it is store bought lard as I have not

been able to find anything else as yet.

I am VERY wary of it yes but had no real choice right now.

How about rendering it yourself. Joanne Hay (also on this list and lives here

on the Gold Coast) bought something or other from the butcher and made her own

tallow. I'm afraid of fire so not game to do it - live in a little wooden

house.

It really isn't that big of a deal. I rendered a mess of it

last fall, on top of the stove and baked IN the stove.

Baking it in the stove is easier, I think. You just chop the

fat fine, and bake it until it stops bubbling. As long as it

is bubbling, the temp isn't high enough to flash. It starts

smoking before it catches on fire though, so just keep

an eye on it.

Anyway, mine has never come close to catching on fire.

I AM very careful handling it, and I work with fairly

small batches (about a gallon or two at a time). But

it's no worse than making broth that way ... hot liquids

need to be handled with care.

However, if you don't need a LOT of tallow, you can

get enough to cook with by just making short ribs

now and then, or a fattier roast. Just roast the ribs

on a broiling pan so the fat goes below, then put it

in the fridge... the fat hardens, remove it, break into

pieces, and store it in the freezer. This works for

geese and bacon too ... just save the cooking fat.
