So, you’ve bought the raw milk and now you need to skim off the cream. They make fancy machines, but unless you drink a lot of milk that isn’t necessary. You can learn how to separate cream from milk without any special tools, using things you likely have on hand already.
Seed oils have gotten a lot of bad publicity lately. So now everybody wants to learn how to render beef tallow in the Crock Pot. It is much healthier for you and makes some delicious french fries. Whether you want to use it for face cream or fried chicken the process is the same.
