How to extract the perfect lard?

The first point is the selection of materials. You can cook lard with pig fat or pig fat.

Pig suet is the fat oil in pig's belly, which has high oil yield and relatively little oil residue, and is the first choice for edible oil.

Compared with pig fat, pig fat has lower oil yield and more oil residue, which is the right choice for friends who like to eat oil residue.

In addition, the lard cooked by domestic pigs and local pigs will be more fragrant than feed pigs, which is recommended.

The second is water, which is needed to cook lard. Taking pork suet oil and water as examples, the personal experience ratio is 10: 1.

So I cooked 3000 grams of pork suet with 300ml of clean water. The proportion is not fixed and can be fine-tuned.

Adding water can not only make the color of lard brighter, but also make pork plate oil heated evenly.

Water will evaporate slowly during cooking, so don't worry about water in lard.

The third point is the temperature. When pork suet was first put into the pot, it was cooked by fire.

After the fire boils, turn to low heat and simmer until the oil residue turns golden brown, then turn off the fire.

Liquid lard is golden yellow and solid lard is white.

If it is excessive, the solid lard will eventually turn yellow.

In addition, many friends will add some ginger to remove fishy smell. Personally, I don't recommend it.

Because China snacks are often crispy with lard, adding ginger will affect the taste.

Prepare a poetic container, boil lard, put it in the refrigerator and taste it occasionally. This is a bit of luck in life.
