Tallow is used to make [[soap]], and can also be used as a low-value "solid" ingredient for cooking [[prepared meal]]s. Since tallow does not have quality levels, rendering fat is a good, but slow, way to train a [[cook]]. |
The [[standing orders]] workshop menu includes "Auto-Kitchen" (enabled by default), which will automatically schedule 'render fat' jobs on any available kitchen. Once your dwarves have produced enough tallow to last for years you may want to disable the "Auto-Kitchen" task to keep your cooks focused on more important jobs. You may want to save your tallow for making soap. Since tallow is often in the kitchen, it tends to be made into prepared meals before other ingredients. This can be a problem if Auto-Kitchen is enabled and you also have a Prepared Meal job set to repeat. Two ways to prevent this are to forbid your supplies of tallow, or disable it from being a cooking ingredient. | The [[standing orders]] workshop menu includes "Auto-Kitchen" (enabled by default), which will automatically schedule 'render fat' jobs on any available kitchen.
