But he was talking about lard.

Edit: after a little time on the Google Machine, I realize he was MAKING lard oil!

But he wasn't! He was making lard- not lard oil. Lard, is fat like people have around their middles whilst oil is the stuff that you pour on troubled waters.

I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne- home of the great engineers. the time is 10.30AM and the temperature in my unheated workshop is +1C and I have been drilling and tapping mild steel sections for my 6 x 4 bandsaw-- and my lard oil is still sufficiently fluid to use on a paint brush to flow.

It's trivia- but maybe worth a mention.

I have a little more info. You are supposed to heat the lard to 175F and slowly cool for 3 to 6 days to 10C degrees. But I don't know if you are supposed to cool it so that it reaches 10C at the end of those 6 days or can you cool it slowly till it gets to 10 and keep it there. Now that I think about it it's probably the first thing, cooling at a constant rate to 10 degrees.
Important going to attempt to convert an old fridge to be a cold source to supply chilled brine to a cooling vat and drop the temp 1 degree per hour and see what I get.
