Luci Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I use whatever brand of lard that is in Walmart in the tubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brempel Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I am not familiar with this. When you say tubs? Are we talking Crisco? I have a can of that would that work? what other kinds?br Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee263 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Crisco is hydrogenated vegetable oil, usually soybean but can contain others. Lard is "pig fat." Leaf lard, the best for pastry making, is the fat that surrounds the adrenal glands, but regular lard usually comes from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Armour brand usually comes in bricks (1#) in most stores. In Wal*Mart it also comes in bigger packages. But lard is lard. By that I mean that you aren't likely to find different kinds in the store (unless you get it off a butcher and render it yourself).Crisco is not lard. Tallow is not lard. Shortening is not lard. Butter is not lard. Palm shortening is not lard.Manteca is Spanish for Lard - you might find it labeled with that name as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yeah I bought the Armour lard. It's in a white and green package I believe or a tub, in Walmart supercenters. It's in the oil isle. Doesn't need refrigeration. Like a 1.20 a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yep, the one Vio described is what I was talking about. I was having a senior moment and couldn't recall the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Tenderflake is lard. In the yellow small containers here in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Or you can buy the no-name brand lard. Also, you can get pomace olive oil pretty cheap at Super Store. They also have huge box containers w/the bladder inside of canola oil. I just wish they would carry coconut oil so I wouldn't have to send away for it.

Vio Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Pumice olive oil works just like lard does in soap? I've seen that on sites, and wondered what exactly it was. So it's the same as lard would be in soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 No, lard and olive oil are different in soap and have different SAP values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Vio, no, it's not the same as lard in soaps. I was just letting her know of some other things she could get at Superstore for a good price. Sorry about any confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I see that now thank you Louise! I also read up a ton on it and it's a very interesting form of OO. Apparently has a great property to it that I can't wait to try out!! Have to find some locally to make some castile with one day in the future!
