    I have an electric stove, which if you didn’t know is infamous for not cooking rice correctly. Any advice for those using electricity rather than gas?

    Go to your butcher shop or supermarket meat department and ask for pork fat trimmings.
    Cut scraps of meat off. Put fat in a crock pot and melt it down. Strain and pour in mason jars. It will solidify. Voila…lard.
    Can do the same with beef fat…that’s called tallow.
