When I use cold lard from the fridge, I dig it out with my little cookie scoop and weigh it. That way, I have it in small pieces for the FP.

Should I send it in to CI? Think they'll run it?

Emilie,

Thanks for the Serious Eats link. I've made his CI Foolproof vodka crust & I like it. It is just so weird mixing all the liquid when I was raised not to overly wet the crust.

Although I don't imagine there are loads of cooks who use lard these days it certainly would work with shortening as well. Might as well give it a shot.

That is a great idea and yes, you should submit this to CI or Cooks Country.

Actually you might be surprised, Linda. I always thought of lard as being a southern grandma type of fat, but since I discovered its virtues I've seen articles in mainstream pubs about how lard's back in vogue with chefs after getting a bad rap over the years, and is actually healthier than butter (albeit slightly higher in calories). But of course you're right that it's not culinary mainstream -- and I've never seen a CI recipe with lard in it, so there's no telling if they'd think the tip had broad appeal. I did have a tip published once in CC, but gave up on CI after a few tries years ago. Actually these days I think some of them are ridiculously common sense -- almost like they've run out of innovative tips so are now publishing the lame ones too.

So given that yours really IS a great idea, JesBelle, I say go for it!

Emilie

I was being sarcastic, but since y'all were so encouraging, I sent it in. :lol:
