Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 We store our lard in five gallon buckets with lids. They are stored in the pantry until we need them. We keep one bucket in the kitchen as we go through 2-3 buckets in a year. Fried chicken is good! <G> Belinda In a message dated 3/3/03 7:45:26 AM Central Standard Time, writes: > I just read Know Your Fats by Enig.
