Cleaning lye, lard, tallow

I have read in several posts about cleaning various fats. How are they cleaned?

Melt the fat in equal parts hot, not boiling water. Let it cool and scoop the fat off.

You may have to repeat a couple of times until you get no muck whatsoever on the bottom of the oil puck.

I like to put mine in the fridge to cool, then the freezer for a bit to get the fat nice and hard. Makes it easier to remove cleanly from the other stuff below it.
