When you say "lard oil", are you talking about the white stuff from
the grocery store that used to me used for frying? Never messed with
it but always figured it was a solid like Crisco. I would use the
material in question for drilling large holes in steel mostly. I have
other stuff that I use for tapping (TapMagic) and machining Tri-cool
or WD40). Have used kerosine in the past but did not like the smell.

I've used Crisco on the lathe . Brush it on the part , the heat
of cutting melts it . Made me hungry though .


A burrito bake in the oven with Crisco isn't bad.


Seems to me, according to SWMBO, Crisco is vegetable in origin as
opposed to lard.

Here in the states, we have a Mexican restaurant named "Chipotle". All they do is take a steamed piece of flat bread (named a tortilla) and wrap it around already-cooked seasoned ground beef, mashed beans and onions and peppers, etc... and then serve it.

Another Mexican restaurant here, named "South of the Border" at first does the same but then they put oil or maybe Crisco on it and then bake the whole thing in the oven for about 20, 25 or so minutes and then top it with cheese. . Then you cover it with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, chillies, etc. Its very good.
