Stellar - Beef Tallow - 100% Grass-Fed & Finished - Good for Cooking, Baking and Frying - Food Grade - 2 LBS

April 29, 2025I am sorry, Steller, I cannot recommend for popcorn. HOWEVER, everyone should try once as tastes vary.I recommend the tallow for anything you fry / pan-sear in . . . It excels when pan-searing a piece of lean meat or chicken in a cast-iron pan!TBH, I absolutely ADORE butter but eat too much of it. Tallow has made a wonderful substitution for cooking and I use much less of it than butter. A good-old-fashioned [turkey] bacon, eggs, and home-fries or hash browns is wonderful cooked in tallow. I must reduce fats in my diet, so this makes it taste so much better even though it is not cooked in butter.March 01, 2025. First Time User but not first time with Tallow or Lard. I will update as needed.First READ. All the 1-star ratings are not on point. It is tallow, not a non-stick chemical, it smells FAINTLY of beef like you just grilled a prime steak.The vendor uses ONE single-size bucket for its tallow. So, if you order the 2-pound or 3-pound, the bucket isn't full. Cost savings for the consumer. See photo of label on top.If you are expecting the Crisco-white - NO. This is not a chemical or hydronated oil. This is tallow, more white but just slightly on the yellow side. See photo. I think of white butter. It is pure.I moved most of the tallow into a jar so I could seal it tightly and keep it in the fridge. Just me.Last photo is a tablespoon of tallow in the pan -- clear as water.Now, taste. I cooked a salmon fillet in it. I could not taste the slight beef in the salmon; I smelled it as it was cooking. The salmon tasted just a bit better than using the olive oil or avocado oil. Please understand that tallow is pure fat, like butter. I found the taste exceptional. I plan to try cooking popcorn in it.Other opinions. My cats love salmon. They got downright RUDE over this salmon cooked in tallow. They and the dogs were having conniption fits over my food. I was beginning to think I would need to defend myself and my salmon physically.Some historical background. In WWII, women were pouring off and storing all rendered fat - pork, beef, and chicken - by pouring off into a can. They would use what they could, and then take the rest to a re-use point "for the troops". They taught this to their daughters in the 50's, and some of us grew up with the same in the 60s and 70s. Crisco came along and so many learned to cook with "shortening". Hydrogenated oils took over. (yuck)Crisco is a brand of shortening, primarily made from vegetable oils. Its main ingredient is soybean oil, which is partially hydrogenated to achieve a solid, creamy consistency at room temperature. Some formulations may also include palm oil or other vegetable oils, depending on the specific product (like the all-vegetable shortening version). The partial hydrogenation process introduces trans fats, though modern Crisco recipes have been reformulated to reduce or eliminate trans fats due to health concerns, replacing them with fully hydrogenated oils or other stabilizers.Additives like mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), salt (in salted varieties), and sometimes preservatives or flavorings may also be included. The exact composition can vary slightly by product line or country, but it’s fundamentally a processed fat designed for cooking and baking. Check the label of a specific Crisco product for the most precise ingredient list, as formulations evolve!

I took a chance on buying beef tallow online. I am so happy I did. It arrived in a sealed bucket. It looks very clean and has a good color. There is a mild beef smell. Tallow is a healthier way to cook. I am avoiding all seed oils. I transferred the tallow to a glass jar that fits in my cabinet. It's easy to measure out the amount you want. The tallow is creamy with a slight firmness. I appreciate that this tallow is 100% beef and organic. I will be ordering again in the future.

First time buying this online and it worked great. Mild flavor and not heavy at all. I used it to make homemade empanadas' dough and filling. Dough turned out light and flaky when fried. And great value compared to store bought tallow.

I love this tallow. The price is amazing to the value. High quality. Better than any cooking oil. Doesn’t have bad taste. The package is well closed. Easy to use (product is not hard, it is easy to spread or put on the pan. It helped me get healthier with my food.

I use this for cooking, frying, and homemade bath products - it's amazing. Consistent results, smooth feel....everything you want from quality grass fed tallow. highly recommend. I love this comes in different size buckets so I can buy in the bulk that works for me.

Has a really good taste,but it's a little too expensive.Purchases this because the beef that made this product was grass fed.

Very good multiple usesLasting a long long time, many health benefits and great value for money and came sealed up good! And easy to use!

Great quality flavor does not overtake your food. Great alternative for highly flamitory vegetable oils. Food taste cleaner, and no more heartburn.
