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?
What is the 1 quart of rice in cups
4 cups
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.
This was so good, and easy to make! I will be making this again.
WTH do you buy lard from?
You buy it at the grocery store. It is sold near the shortening.
Exclusivly Mexican grocers or at a “Carniceria”, such as “Nortgate”.
