Beef tallow.

I have a tub of tallow in my freezer that I ordered from the coop. I want to use some of it today, but no where near to all of it.

Once I thaw it out, does anyone know how long this will keep in the fridge?

Didn't the pioneers make candles using tallow?

I'm surprised Mrs. Alfred Packer doesn't know that.

1. Fry Baby....Fry

Tallow was used to fry the original McDonalds Fries....

Here's a link to "Tallow" Fries...

2. I'm going to use it to brown a chuck roast embedded with fresh garlic cloves and then put the roast in the crock pot.

I want to use the rest to make a pie crust, which is the original reason I bought it, but not this weekend. So I'm hoping it will last quite some time in the fridge.

3. It should last a while in the fridge

I think well into two weeks would be safe but probably much longer

4. Thanx, empress.

I had originally ordered half of what they sent me. They doubled it free of charge, which was nice, but wasn't planning on having any left really, so I wasn't really sure how long it would keep.

9. Beef pot pie comes to mind...as long as you're making pie crust. I love the way you experiment with your ingredients. I adore lard for pie crust, but have never used beef tallow.

12. Bill's a little sceptical but I'm going for it. It could mean the ultimate flaky pie crust which I've yet to pull off to my satisfaction. I will let you know when I do, maybe this weekend.

13. I predict that Bill is going to fall in love with you all over again once he gets a bite of that pie! Yep, better save it for the weekend.....

this stuff keeps!

"A very rough guess - about 4-6 months on the shelf, 9-12 months in the fridge, and about 2 years frozen.

Personally I would refrigerate after opening."

6. Thanx, Tesha.

I definitely did refrigerate after opening. I can't imagine not keeping it in the fridge since it's an animal fat.

7. Sheep tallow

This is not a direct answer to your question, but is offered up in the hopes of being helpful.

Sheep tallow is used in the autobody trade to lubricate the lead paddles back when "lead" (actually a fairly sophisticated alloy, not pure lead) was used for body and seam filler. Beef tallow was also used, but sheep tallow soon came into favor because it was both cheaper and not very much in demand as a culinary product.

I have some in my garage that is years old and hasn't spoiled, even over the many seasons of blazing hot summers and freezing cold winters.

To be fair, I don't know if body shop tallow is the same as kitchen tallow. They could just as easily be different products with the same name.

8. Beats me, Stinky.

I'd never heard of it used in that way before. I did know that canola oil was an offshoot of military applications before it was marketed for home cooking.

15. I heated up some of this roast tonight for Bill.

He immediately told me how good it was with a very audible Mmmmmm leading the comment.

Hmmm.  Interesting.

Mrs. Alfred Packer used to mention the hippyhubby once in a while, on occasion during a blue moon, but oddly, she's mentioned him two times at one campfire now.

It gives one the sense Mrs. Alfred Packer is trying to justify something.

16. Hia hippywife!

I am such a dunce about fats and that's my problem. But I just don't understand something. Remember a few months ago we discussed how bad Crisco was? (It had to do with home-made Bisquick mix.)

See, now, I thought beef tallow was a bad fat - and it was bad like Crisco. What am I missing?

Typical. It's Alferd Packer, not Alfred Packer. You can't glorify murderous democrat eating cannibals if you can't get the name right.

A tub of tallow?!? No wonder he didn't want to spring for a freezer, if she's going to use it for crazy crap like that.

And coach hardly needs a spelling lesson from our resident jerk DUmmy.

I know, I know; the man-eater Alfred Packer oftentimes misspelled his name "Alferd," and so it came into common usage that way.

The judge's comment upon his sentencing the man-eater is a classic, where the judge berated him for having eaten three of the four known Democrats of the area.

Due to it being unconstitutional to penalize a man for a crime committed before a law was passed, the man-eater Alfred Packer couldn't be sentenced to death, only to a term in prison.

Well she's a dummy right? Maybe she and her old man can recreate that controversial scene in Last Tango in Paris.

Also, for clarification, who's coach? And, since I'm the one pointing out the Duers misspelling, I have a sneaking suspicion that you might be referring to me as the resident jerk Dummy.

Ah. Nothing like Google. I'm not an Ohio fan or I would have known who Mr. Bucks was referring to. I'm still somewhat mystified as to why this,

"And coach hardly needs a spelling lesson from our resident jerk DUmmy." would be directed towards me.

The point is, I was referring to the original DU poster and the fact that Alferd was the mans given name, not Alfred. Further, the hilarious ruling in his case is simply base confabulation. The actual ruling is pretty dry and lacks the Mark Twain inspired dialect.

But yeah, why anybody would keep a tub of tallow on hand is beyond me....unless they're cannibals.
