FAQs about suet
When you order suet via Instacart, it should be immediately put into the refrigerator. It can remain stored here for a few days, but it is best stored in the freezer if you have it any longer. You can increase its longevity and maintain its freshness for longer by wrapping it in freezer paper and sealing it in a freezer bag. Make sure to get out as much air as possible. Suet can be stored in the freezer for several months.
If you have a suet that has been rendered, you will be able to keep it at room temperatures for several months.
While suet has been used in cooking for centuries, it also has had many other uses throughout the years. It once was a prominent ingredient in candle making and is still used today by those looking to make traditional, natural candles. Other uses include shoe polish, leather cleaner, soaps, and bird feed. The latter is still a popular use today.
When used in bird feed, the suet has been turned into a type of tallow and is a hardened brick that can be placed outside for birds to feed on. You can make your own bird feed from suet or use ready-made blocks in the pet aisle.
It is possible to replace suet with other lard options, such as Crisco, but in doing so, it will likely alter the flavor of the recipe. Additionally, the lower melting point of other fat sources may require that you make adjustments to your baking and cooking times.
Many people may try to substitute suet for more healthy options, but the lower fat or lower calorie options may alter the consistency of your dish, especially if being used in pastries. While suet is high in fat and cholesterol, a little can go a long way, so using it in moderation is fine.
