How healthy is it to cook with animal fat semi-regularly? I keep a jar in my fridge which holds any excess grease/fat from the meat I cook, it's mostly a mix of beef and pork fat. I use it on rice, eggs, stir fry, etc. I'd like to use olive or avocado oil more often but it isn't exactly cheap, plus the fat adds a nice flavor. How healthy is it for me to continue doing this?
Imagine cooking on anything else than beef tallow and ghee.
>>77393888Extremely better cook with lard
>>77393888I pity you westerners since you don't have access to the greatest source of fat there is, ie sheep tail fat. Literally the greatest of fats
>>77393888Depends onHow much fat is in the rest of your dietWhats your hdl likeWhats your ldl likeWhat kinds of fat are those What animal's fat is itIs there anything bad it was eating that could accumulate in that fatHow long has it been storedWhat temp was it heated to originallyHow has it been storedEct ect ectDietary fat is such a deep rabbit hole full of so much misinformation you'd have to be a cytologist and organic chemist to be even to tell what is truthful and relevant.As far as cold takes go processed oils are frankly simpler to understand and probably why they're touted as being "healthy" because the other side requires vastly more context to firmly say whether it's good or bad for just an individual let alone make broader dietary recommendations on.
It's the only fat you should be cooking with/eating"Vegetable oil" doesn't exist, it's an industrial byproduct they started selling after the war and then suddenly over night for no reason at all everyone got heart disease
>>77394481Everyone got heart disease because they were finally living long enough for that to be the bottleneck in human longevity. I'm sure if we rolled back the work safety, food, water, waste removal, public security, medical updates you could earn your honorable death at the hands of some now preventable cause before 60.
>>77394455>How much fat is in the rest of your dietLow amounts, at least by burger standards. For some sauteed vegetables I would use a half of a spoonful, for example.>What animal's fat is itMostly beef and pork, the amount of each varies depending on what meat and the cuts of meat I cook (chuck eye, pork/beef shoulder, occasionally pork belly). Currently there is a 30:70 ratio. >>77394392What country are you from? I can't imagine mutton not being expensive. I love goat, sheep fat sounds heavenly.
>>77394842Turkey. Its not mutton tallow, more like specifically the tail fat of the sheep. It tastes so good, is very stable and perfect for cooking. I use it alongside butter for all of my cooking, and despite my ldl being high by normal standarts my hdl is very high and my trig are low, with hdl:trig being lower than one.
>>77393888I've been getting untrimmed briskets and rendering the fat cap for cooking oil. Everything I cook is so flavorful since I started using it. I recently did homemade tortilla chips fried in tallow and then cooked up some brisket and made fully loaded nachos out of it. Heavenly.
