Couple of days ago I deep fried a steak in tallow, seared both sides at once, medium rare on the inside best **** steak I've ever ate.

The butcher shop I get the scraps from also does pork, often I find large pieces of pork rhine that we cut into squares then bake in the oven for kracken - piggy puffs.



My Milwaukee scissors cut the rhine as if it were paper.

The tallow is in high demand by folks who make soap and the bone meal has many uses, a girlfriend adds a bit into her senior dogs food as a supplement and gardeners use it as an organic fertilizer.

So far I've been doing the rendering on the kitchen stove but have plans to set up a small scale operation inside my shop capable of processing a couple of hundred pounds at a time.

Once the bones have been cooked they go though the meat grinder, the grinder will be replaced with a home made hammer mill which will speed up the process.
