Whats a easy way to render lard? My dad is killing a hog and he wants to render some lard.

Never seen it done but 1 way my self, big pot-heat save the cracklings for the corn bread :)

Just remember to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

I've used coffee filters and even paper towels to filter out the rendered fat before in a pinch, but it can be a longer process :)

I like to simmer the fat chunks in water. As the fat begins to pop when the water evaporates, I add some more. Once the fat starts to look like pork rinds, you've about rendered out all the lard you're going to get. Strain the hot fat through a filter into a jar, and you ought to be set.

A slow cooker also works well and requires less baby-sitting.

Thanks everyone! We are going to kill the hog sometime after Christmas. If I can remember I will post pics.
