Beef tallow

[Sgt Fury]

I stopped using vegetable oil years ago and went to canola oil, thinking it was a healthy move. Now I’ve found that all seed oils are bad for health and only extra virgin olive oil and beef tallow is deemed healthy. I know I’ve seen posts on here discussing beef tallow. I’ve never used it before. Do you use it for everything that canola oil was used for before….frying eggs, frying peppers and onions, ect.? I bought a jar today. How much do you use when cooking? Do you refrigerate after opening? Thanks for any info and suggestions.

The local salons are selling beef tallow for anti aging facial cream. It’s dual purpose.

Tallow or Ghee is what we use.

I don't use it for everything, because it does impart a "beef" flavor on the food you cook in it. So only certain foods make sense, from a flavor standpoint. I'll use tallow in things like stir-fry, searing lean meat (backstrap chops), or making a roux that'll be turned into beef/dark gravy.

Usually whenever I fry eggs, or saute onions, peppers, etc., I'll opt for grass-fed butter over anything else. Kerrygold salted butter is my go-to.

If I want a more mellow flavor in a fried food, I go with lard instead of beef tallow.

We save all of our bacon grease and use that 80% of the time. Not sure if it’s right or wrong but it’s natural and our body’s seem to respond well to it. The other 20% of the time is either extra virgin olive oil or a good quality butter. Factual info vs. trends became pretty hard to decipher on the interweb so we took the info that made sense and saw how our bodies reacted to it to find what works best for us. Plus my mom always saved and used bacon grease for frying so it already had a leg up

I try and eat/use what they had available in the 50s.
