Hi Minik,
Yes, cow fat and chicken fat are great options. I never tried sheep.

And oh boy I can remember Nana frying bread in the lard. When cooked we would sprinkle a small amount of salt on it.
As a matter of fact I had fried bread with a poach egg on it for lunch yesterday. Oh so yummy in the tummy.
Regards Peter

Hi Tracy,
Sure, you can keep the lard in room temperature in shadow places for around half year. However, the texture of the lard might change along with the room temperature. I mean at certain point, it will melt.

Hi Linda,
This is a very traditional way of rendering lard at home in China. We use this method for hundreds of years. The water added at the very beginning will be evaporated during the process. So I guess leftover water in the lard will not be a problem.

Yes, Wendy. All he water will be evaporated during the simmering process. Adding water at the beginning is to prevent the pork cubes being sticky to the pan or pot.
