The definition gets very blurred, though. A true grease is an oil and/or other fluid lubricant which has been mixed with a thicker substance to create a solid Grease is made from animal fats, whereas oils are made from vegetables or plants like the sunflower or olives. Olive Oil is your best cooking oil since it has no fat whatsoever in it. Lard is pure animal fat from pigs, it is a solid form of pig fat that has been rendered. Have you ever cooked or boiled meats especially hotdogs and seen the hard fat floating after it has cooled? Turkey broth from the roaster pan will thicken like that too if you let it cool, you are suppose to anyway to remove the fat. They do have kitchen devices you can buy now that are suppose to separate it and you don't have to wait for it to cool to
