Ordered some beef tallow from US Wellness. It's a huge tub of it, which surprised me. Package says to keep it frozen but it doesn't seem soft. How do you all work with this product?

Cook meat with it. Its smoke point is about 420*F but you should definitely cook well below that (about 350*F) and it is reusable since it's less likely to go rancid. I'd store it in a non-plastic container in a cool dark place. – April S.♦ Mar 2 2012 at 17:03

I think the question has been misunderstood. I'm not asking so much about what I can cook with it but how do I break off a manageable chunk when it has to be stored frozen and I can't possibly use it all at once. Some great suggestions about what to do with it though. – balor123 Mar 2 2012 at 18:22

I guess keep them frozen in smaller containers that are of usable portions. – April S.♦ Mar 3 2012 at 2:30

Mine is also hard, partly because I keep it in the fridge. I shave off what I need for slow-frying beef--budget forces me to buy CAFO so I buy very lean stuff and use the grassfed tallow to cook it with. I use plenty, pouring it over the plated meat. I've also used it for slow-frying veggies (slow frying is heat setting 4 on a scale of 10.)

Great suggestion! Didn't think of buying grain-fed meat and displacing its fat with the grass-fed stuff. I was already planning on using it with veggies in places where I use olive oil today. – balor123 Mar 2 2012 at 18:23

Make Pemmican! Lots of interesting combinations out there but my favorite is made using regular beef.

As for storing, mine is in a glass jar in our pantry. I usually use it up over a few weeks though.
