HOW TO PURIFY TALLOW FROM HAMBURGER. So simple.

Well, aside from being a great fat to fry other foods in you can purify it to last longer on your self and also use it for beauty products including soap, lotions, and creams. In this video, I will show you how I save and purify the leftover fat from my ground beef. In the next video, I will show you how to turn our new purified tallow into a body butter cream!

What I like to use is cheese cloth or coffee filters in my strainer to try to make the fat as pure as possible and I pour it directly into a mason jar and then put the lid on so it seals well. Also remember to freeze it because it will last indefinitely if you do so.

[@VanzHumbleHome]

That is a great method. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO!!! Hamburger meat is the most common meat we buy, and since I learned about rendering fat, I wondered about all the fat I strained off from hamburger! I'm now getting started! 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello wow this is awesome. I never knew that we could purify tallow like that. I have never seen anyone else in all the channels that I have watched showed us how to do it.

i know this video is 4 years old but i found that if you put half frozen hamburger meat right in the pan and cook it that way you’d get ALOT more tallow from that!

I NEVER heard of tallow. So interesting. I don't want to smell like hamburger and chance a pack of wild, hungry dogs chase me down. LOL Can you imagine? 🤣 This is SO great. I'm always learning from your channel. You recommend any books on this?

[@VanzHumbleHome]

Runneth Over Garden&Life haha! That would be crazy to be chased down by hungry dogs! Books... no, sorry. It’s just something I picked up off YT a while ago. I always save my fat, as a matter of fact I used the last batch for my bird feeders. You can use for soap, candles & frying as well. I am glad you found it interesting!

[@RootedInTx]

@@VanzHumbleHome very interesting!

[@IMOO1896]

You can use a lid to hold back the meat when pouring off the fat. That way you can get out as much fat as possible. Then you can let the grease coo, when it cools the tallow is formed across the top, and the liquid on the bottom can be discarded. Then you can heat the tallow.

[@VanzHumbleHome]

Great tip on using the lid, hehe! Weird how sometimes common sense takes a moment to kick in, lol. Kinda embarrassed rn ngl.

[@criconinvestments7723]

I've wondered about the salt I add to the meat, like you did. I'm glad to find this video tutorial. Does the salt dehydrate your skin? I'm going to make some body cream, candles, soap, etc.

Amazon sells a pretty cheap fat separator that works great. U dont have to boil or add water to your grease.

How to properly cleanup dishes and kitchen counter top after using tallow? It's a mess since it solidifies into wax very quickly and much harder to clean compared to lard

yes!! or you can just keep it like you would bacon grease and cook with it without purifying

If you cook it to death, more fat will render out, but it will leave the meat drier

@@CelestialLioness do you ever cook the meat with seasoning and render the fat that way?

[@CelestialLioness]

@@gabriellewhitley1583 I would not suggest doing that, unless you intend to just store/cook with the entirety of what you strain from the ground beef, I would save seasoning your beef until after you strain it. If you are straining and purifying the tallow for use in cosmetics or body products, you would just be rendering all the seasonings out as well.
