## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many small skillets would you be able to grease with this?**
A: Bear in mind that this is a 64 oz container and 64 oz is a half gallon, so this is a lot of lard!  How much lard one uses to grease a skillet is, of course, determined by the size of the skillets and simply how heavy a coating of lard you like to use, but I'm guessing it's easily in the many hundreds.

**Q: Is this animal lard or vegetable lard?**
A: unfortunately this lard is hydrogenated and not good for you.  Read your label ingredients

**Q: Is this pork or beef lard?**
A: Pork fat = lard, beef fat = tallow.   This is lard, ergo pork.

**Q: Can you melt it so it becomes liquid ?**
A: Yes, it turns into a liquid and adds flavor to whatever you are frying.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good stuff
*by L***O on March 17, 2025*

good product. As described

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by M***W on February 6, 2025*

I have ordered this several times to use in making suet blocks for birds in winter. It has always proven to be of good quality and clean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's a reason why Grandma's fried potatoes tasted so good.
*by A***R on December 19, 2018*

First this is lard and hydrogenated lard, you can buy pure lard but my supermarket does not carry lard at all so I went with this. Love it. My grandpa was born on a farm in SD in 1909 and used to tell me how his mom made homemade bread and he would get it hot from the oven and slather lard on it and how good it was. To my mind he was talking about Crisco.Well, this is what you want to fry with, or butter, another natural fat our bodies require for good health. Throw out your icky canola and vegetable oil and fry with lard. More expensive? Yes, but a little lard goes a long way. For potatoes try this: Cast iron skillet, pre-warmed to medium-hi, a tablespoon of lard. Microwave 2 potatoes until they are just shy of being fully cooked, slice them as you like, season as you like (Sea salt, garlic, dried peppers, paprika for me), toss them in and cook for about 10 minutes turning heat down to medium. While cooking, get your broiler going. Add some more paprika, pop under broiler for 5 minutes or under browned to taste. From the first bite you will wonder how you ever cooked with anything else. Give your body the fats it is designed to consume: animal fats. I also take almost cooked vegetables and give them a quick stir-fry in my cast iron. I can do 24 ozs of veggies with just an 1/8 of a cup or less. But for french fries, chicken, fish, hush puppies, the taste can't be beat. Try it.
