I'm 100% making it up as I go, but it's 3lb and I'm going for a 72h bath at 155F followed by a 5 min sear on each side on the grill, then sliced. I'll post the outcome, good or bad!

Great. Thanks. I'm about to trim one up now. Do you render the fat?

You can make tallow which is really nice to cook with.

Tallow is also very useful as a base for salves and soaps and such, in place of olive oil or the like.

This all sounds very 18th century but I'm into it

My grandparents rendered lard until I was in my teens. Circa 2000’s. Lard is actually simpler to render than tallow but very similar. Make it liquid, pull out impurities, keep cold for longest life
