Press or Render a Quart of Oil or Fat - food.straw.oilfat PEP BB

I rendered some pig belly pieces into lard!  It took a couple batches to get a quart since I did the method where you add the hot lard to a mason jar with a bit of water, store it upside down and then pour off the water once the junk settles.

I made tallow and this time I knew what I was doing!

I followed the instructions in this video by a Youtuber that I follow: https://youtu.be/qFn14auHaaI?si=xmROFTf9mta5N0LZ

The end result was almost 1 quart (4 cups) but I also submitted tallow in another badge bit submission below where I made 2 cups, so the total is a little under 6 cups (quart and a half) permies.com/p/2174597

What I did:
I cut the tallow into small pieces, put it in the Instapot and filled with 2 quarts water. I used the "slow cooker" option and cooked it on low for 6 hours. Poured it into a bowl and put in the fridge overnight. The next day I scraped off the bottom and repeated the process (to have a more purified tallow). The third day, I heated up the tallow in a pot on low/medium to boil out the water. Once the bubbles stopped, I poured it into silicone mini muffin trays - to pull out of the freezer and use as needed!

I rendered just under 2 qts of tallow from beef suet I purchased from a local butcher. I clarified it 5 times to use for lotion.
