Hello,
I have just completed my first wet render-purification method of a bunch of tallow I receive and have been left with a slight beef smell.
My process was-
Cook fat + water + salt in a crockpot for around 4 hours until all liquid.
Strain all gristly meaty bits from the mixture with a wire strainer.
Cool mixture of oil and water at room temp until fat is solid.
Add solid fat back to crockpot with water and salt for 2hr to purify.
Pour mix through cheese cloth + strainer.
Repeat again.
Product is white and seems very pure but has a slight beef smell (nothing overpowering but strong enough to put some people off).
Is there any tricks of the trade I can use to get rid of this smell, maybe some gentle additives or more salt or cook for longer?
Thanks, Ryan.
