Reading Your Lips Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I suspect I might have a problem with coconuts, so I will be eliminating it from my diet for a couple of weeks to see if any thing changes for the better. I need a good fat to saute with and use to rub on my chicken before baking. Is Tallow good for these purposes? I've never used it other than for soap making a loooong time ago I really hope I don't have a problem with coconuts, but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 13, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2012 My local Whole Foods does not sell tallow, but a butcher gave me several pounds of beef fat that I used to make my own. Here's the recipe... http://www.wholelifeeating.com/2011/08/beef-tallow-an-excellent-cooking-fat/. You might want to try ghee as a cooking fat. Ghee is basically cooked/rendered butter. I like it better than beef tallow myself and use it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 You could ask them to save you the fat if you are friendly with the butcher there. US Wellness Meats sells good tallow, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
