2.5 gallons of bear tallow

[motolife313-2]

Helped my friend process it yesterday. He gave me all the meat. Cut pretty big chunks out. About 2x2” cubes or so. Took about 5 hours, the part I’m touching is his lower back above his tail, that’s where the majority of the fat was

I’m curious, what do you do with all that tallow?

 

[motolife313-2]

use instead of vegetable oil or canola oil

Interesting. I make and use a good bit of beef tallow and lard from pork fat. How does yours compare?

I haven’t used any yet. I keep my bacon grease which works very well for me. I’ll let you know soon. I actually made blt’s the other day used about 1 pound of bacon while this was brewing and I dumped the bacon grease into the pot lol

From all I have been told bear grease is the best for cooking and pastry making.

Is it gamey?

Very cool but looking at the first pic I wonder what you did with the hide.

Bear Rug?

Every bear hunter I know swears bear fat cooked donuts are unbeatable. I have also heard french fries cooked in bear fat are amazing as well. I have never had the opportunity to try either thought.
