RE: How to make LARD in a Crock-Pot! It's really easy!
I have only rendered lard in the oven. This looks like a good alternative method. Also, I freeze mine in pint jars (or smaller) and get them out of the freezer as needed. It keeps well that way, too.
I bet it would keep pretty much forever that way!
I like doing it this way because the oven heats up the whole house, whereas the crock pot isnt as bad, and in the hot summers here, the less heat Im producing, the better!
Keeping the lard in the cupboard started off as an experiment, because I wasnt sure if it would last that way or not, and it did! My back up plan was to freeze it.
Oh yes, keeping the house cool is a good thing to do! I guess I've only rendered lard in the winter when it didn't really matter if I heated the house up. Ha ha!
