Do one from this point, on how to make soap.

@r7mart That's a great idea and something I intend to do eventually.

Thanks,

Another success. Congratulations. I wonder if you could just pour the rendered fat into tin cans with wicks wired in place and put in the fridge and pull up formed candles out of the can with water in the bottom after they've been in the fridge all night. Maybe the same with saved tea light candle tins.

@MrJoeyBoombotz Thanks! You can definitely pop the candles out of the tea candle tins because they are smooth on the inside, but they burn up pretty quick that way. I'm not sure about tin cans though, it might be hard to get them out.

be careful not to run anything solid like bone or plastic thru that grinder. it breaks the cutting blade and no direct replacement parts are available. I happend on that other hamilton beach model grinder blades do work tho. you just have to find them on ebay at garage sales and the goodwill. awesome piece of equipment that will last forever if cared for.

@BornRandy62 I didn't catch this until now, thanks!

@onebadboy2 That skillet could be better seasoned, someone here likes to clean it too much, but it's ok. Thanks for the nice comments.

Nice work on this. I always wondered how I could get the small chunks of meat out and this was helpful. I think I will give this a try. Loved the grinder and also really liked your seasoned cast iron skillet in the background. Looked well cared for. Thanks again sir.

@AfghanResistance You're welcome! Yes, it is the same exact process. Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.

I loved your video. i very much appreciate you uploading it. its the best video on the net on rendering fat. I have one question. i'm planning on making some beef tallow not for the purposes you mentioned in your video but to add a bit to my frying oil. i would like to make some tasty McDonald style fries. is this the same process for edible beef tallow or is that a totally different process. Thank you
