Hatfield Bucket Lard 5 Gallon

Switching to lard instead of seed oils. I found the smell of this lard to be pleasant. This lard was the most affordable for the price. I look forward to a healthier diet.

After dealing with heart and cholesterol issues for 4 years now I started thinking what has changed that so many people are dealing with this. I am no means a doctor, but using common since. My mother, 85 years old still works cleaning businesses about 30 hours a week, keeps up with a 1500 sq ft home and mows the yard everything. She actually had to support me about 3 years ago when i had tripple bypass( for those wondering im 6ft 215 lbs). I look at their generation, they grew up on lard rendered from pigs. they had gravy often. fried foods like chicken. Yet my mom has no high blood pressure or heart trouble. So i started thinking about all these so called vegetable oils and olive oil that is suppose to be so good for you. Found out the other day olive oil can be counter-fitted so much there is no telling whats in it. So I thought I am going back old school. So I bought me a 5 gallon bucket. First thing I noticed was how clean the lard looked. Almost like water. Then I quickly saw how it would get up to temp so much faster. Like a 3rd or less time than vegetable oil. First thought, it would smoke and get to hot fast. Totally opposite. Holds up, doesn't smoke up the place or leave a fried stinch smell in kitchen. I re-use my oil and again I am impressed. Usually after frying stuff about 3 times with vegetable oil I am throwing it out. This stuff, still clear, no smell. I am by no means being sponsored by this product. I rarely leave reviews. but wanted to sit down and give this the recognition it deserves being im very pleased with it. I would guess this bucket will last me a year to 2 years easy. My guess is ill save 50 to 65 percent of what i use to spend on vegetable oil. probably more. I like to be realistic but this stuff just doesn't quit. Its a big chunk of change up front but good lord i use to dread picking up 7 dollar bottle of vegetable oils every other week or even more. I used 4 ladels in a medium size sauce pan and only needed 3. And the food i have cooked is so much lighter after fried. it doesn't have to sit there on a paper towel forever. most will leave after lifting it from oil. Hope this has been helpful. May god bless you .

This is the 4th time I've reordered this lard and cook with it daily,in bread, pastry, frying, refried beans, etc. It's a god deal and tastes well and comes from nearby Nashville Tennessee!!! Good deal.

PROS:No issues with smell or discoloration.Bagged most of it into 2C portions (because that is what I need to make a batch of masa for tamales) and then froze it.everything i have tried it on/in/around has come out great.I would recommend and the cost savings are phenomenal when bought in this bulk size.CONS:Does contain some chemical stabilizers.

I broke this down into smaller jars and keep them under my bed cause it is a cool dark place in my very old house. I run my window air conditioner almost all year. This lard is great quality. I have made my own in the past and this is way easier. I just scooped and heated until melted and then ladled into mason jars. I wiped the rims with vinegar and i was good to go. It makes a great flaky crust for a pie. I have whipped with butter and made fabulous cookies with it. And it makes a great fried chicken.

This is anything but "cooked from pork". I grew up in farm eating all food cooked with pork grease. First of all this is supposed to have a ligh smell of bacon, while the color should be white yellowish, none of this applies to whatever this people are selling.Please be honest and at least say what you are selling.

Me a pasado que muchas veces q comprando manteca de cerdo que huele demasiado fuerte y no me gusta , incluso encuentro eso desagradable Esta no lo hace , tampco deja los utensilios de la cocina demasiado grasosos como para pasar mucho trabajo tratando de q no queden residuos de grasa El recipiente es grande , si es un poco más cara que otras q e comprando pero para mi vale la pena invertir en esta

The shipment came so quick. I use lard to bake and cook. I always buy the 32 oz jar from local grocery store. The moment I found this product, I put the order in right aways. It is a BIG saving comparing to the super market price. This product looks really good, clean and creamy. It will last for a long time.
