Has anyone rendered lard using the Instant Pot (pressure cooker) method?
I’m doing the low-heat method and wondering how it compares.

I thought my butcher was providing me with rendered lard so I was surprised when I saw the fat. 
Now with the finished product, I am happy to say that it was surprisingly easy and not smelly. It took nearly 8 hours but I had bigger chunks and used low heat on an induction burner with an enamelled cast iron dutch oven. I now have beautiful snowy white odourless lard to play with!
I have also been rubbing the excess onto my alligator elbows and it works great!
