It's all about flavor. You just can't replace that flavor with drab vegetable oil. I know it sounds like you'd clog your arteries just looking at it but once in a while ain't gonna kill ya. You can even do it in a large roasting pan in the oven! I had to do it that way once when I made my first big batch. You need about four cups of it to cook your carnitas and, with the amount the recipe calls for, you do need a large (diameter) pan. Let me know if you're going to make some and I'll give you a hand!

Yeah, I was wondering at what point in this process I'd be keeling over!!! What is the goal of rendering the lard? Does it make things taste better? Veg oil can't replace it? This might be a case of Helen Vs Ice Cream Machine, where after she reads the ingredients, she doesn't want to make the ice cream anymore! ha ha ha!
