BACON IS FOR CLOSERS...

[rousemark]

One more question - is there a significant difference in brands of lard?

No.. The rendering process is the same.

For seasoning your cast iron pan, a small tub of lard or some bacon grease would probably me my preferred way to go. I have been wanting to get a cast iron pan myself so I could sear meats on the stove and then put the same pan right into the oven. I would use lard even though the folks at Lodge say you can use vegetable oils. Yuck.

Lard is the ONLY way to season an iron pan/skillet/whatever

I would agree that that is how I would do it.

But the folks who make the best selling cast iron pan in the whole 'tar nation suggest there's more than one way to season that cat ... err ... skin that skillet ... oh, you know what I mean.

Yeah, that is what my son used to start it. Then the conversation rolled into lard v seed oils. So I thought I'd ask the baconators here.

Another lard question - like butter, can lard be frozen?

You certainly can freeze lard. And I have. Should you freeze lard? No idea!

Maybe Granny knows? I sure don't.

This would work in both the FE Memes thread or the Bacon thread, no?

No.. The rendering process is the same.

... and the effects on your arteries and waist line are also the same.
