Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They carry aroma. Most smell molecules dissolve in fat rather than water, which is why you bloom spices in oil. They also conduct heat, shorten gluten and soften texture.

Where it catches you out

Every fat has its own smoke point. Butter burns at 150 °C, extra virgin olive oil holds to 190 — choose the fat for the job, not the bottle.

The knack

Do not assume raw suet and rendered tallow have identical water or energy values; this record describes raw kidney fat.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep raw suet refrigerated at 0-4 °C for 1-2 days; freeze at -18 °C for 6-9 months.

Gluten-free

Plain raw beef suet is naturally gluten-free.

Glycaemic index

This ingredient carries no meaningful carbohydrate, so it has no glycaemic index. On its own it will not move blood sugar; what you eat alongside it decides that.
