• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Beef Tallow

Here, at the local meat store, it's almost 40% cheaper than Crisco and that's all I've ever been brought up on to use, Crisco brand.
 
The regular/solid tallow, is in a jar in the meat/butcher dept. of my food store. The spray tallow is with the other cooking sprays' aisle.
 
TBH, I’m still nervous of eating thick fat like that. I’m certain will not waste them if I cook something, but I wouldn't pay $6 a jar for beef tallow.
I remember throwing away goose fat, it’s supposed to be good for cooking.

You are in a part of the country where it's common to use that and where small farms butcher beef and pork, plus sell chicken eggs, fresh milk and cream, etc. In large cities, we really only have access to commercial brands, and they aren't cheap. Even if we take a long drive way down south or way up north to where there are small farms, stuff isn't cheap, if for no other reason than land is extremely expensive compared to where you live.

I bet SoCal is pretty much in the same situation as we are.

Yes, I'm fortunate to live here in this place of family owned grocers. After 37 years in Las Vegas, land of nothing, I am grateful. 🙏
