LARD CHANGED MY LIFE!! AWESOME EDUCATIONAL FARM VLOG!!

What happens here

As the fat continues to render, the solid pieces of pork skin and fat will transform into cracklings. These are ready when they float to the surface, turn a rich golden brown, and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to scoop out the finished cracklings from the hot liquid lard. Place them into a heat-safe container, such as a cardboard box lined with paper towels, to drain any excess fat. Taste a crackling to ensure it has reached the desired crispness and flavor.

Goal: Once the cracklings are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the hot liquid lard using a slotted spoon.
