South Chicago Packing Traditonal LARD Shortening, 42 Ounces, Specialty Baking Shortening and Cooking Fat

I've never cooked with lard or tallow before, only vegetable oil and canola oil, but wanted to experiment with lard after doing some research into seed oils. I was blown away with how easy it was to use (just melt the amount of lard you need in the microwave or on the stove, and substitute that for any oil in a baking recipe) and how tasty it made my baked goods. I will definitely be buying more and replacing oil in all my favorite baking recipes for this awesome lard. (Pro Tip! If a recipe called for "1/3 cup oil" I did a "rounded scoop" of lard [so about 1/3 of a cup, plus a spoonful or two extra] and that has produced awesome results.)

Before I use this I had used butter or oil. On my Aunts recommendation I switched to this lard . Wow what a difference in how stuff turns out. Flavor wise and texture. It turns out it is better for you health wise as long as you use it the right way.

What can I say? It's a big old tub of good lard and it's not in one of those wax boxes!

Good lard, I use it mostly for frying chicken.

Getting away from seed oils and vegetable shortening for cooking and baking. This lard is great to fry with, and is now my go-to when making homemade tortillas.

It's a great product but expensive considering lard is a byproduct of the butchering process. Most meat processing plants just throw it out or send it off to dog food manufacturing plants. The only downsides are the price and the fact that it comes in a plastic container.

Totalmente enamorada de este producto, lo estoy acabando y volveré a comprarlo. Me encanta

I don’t know what I was thinking. The stuff was horrible.
