Bacon salting, curing, smoking, drying,
Luncheon meats, sych as or other processs to preserve it
bologna, salami and or enhance flavor.

Types of Knives and their USES
2. Fat
– 5% of the muscle tissue. The
fat in meat contributes to:
A. Juiciness
Marbling is fat that is deposited within the muscle
tissue. Surface fats protect the meat from drying out
during cooking. Adding surface fat is called barding.
1. Muscle Fibers
1. Washing
Generally, the only occasion in which you will have to wash meat is
when it comes into contact with blood during preparation. After
washing, dry the food thoroughly with absorbent kitchen paper.
2. Skinning
Most of the meat you dealt with has been already skinned by the
supplier.
3. Dicing
Meat are diced when it is cut into cubes for various types of
casseroles, stems, curries, and dishes such as steak, kidney pie and
pudding.
4. Trimming
Reasons for trimming:
• Improve the appearance of the cut or joint
• Leave as much of the meat intact as possible.
• Leave an even thickness of fat (where fat is to be left). How much
fat you trim off will depend on the type of meat, preference, and
the cooking process to be used.
• Remove as much gristles and sinews as possible.
5. Slicing
It is the cutting of meat by determining the direction of the grain
(the muscle fibers), and cut across the grain. This is particularly important
with tougher cuts such as steak, in which the grain is also quite
obvious.You slice meat with―instead of against―the grain.
6. Seasoning
It is the addition of salt and white or black pepper to improve the
flavor of food.
• Use white pepper or cayenne pepper on food which you want to
keep attractive with white color.
• Add salt to roast and grill after the meat has browned. Adding salt
before cooking will extract the juices of the meat to the surface,
and slows down the browning reactions (which need high
temperature and dry heat).
7. Coating
The two basic coatings are:
• Flour – coat the meat before cooking, otherwise the flour becomes
sticky and unpleasant.
• Bread crumbs – coat the meat in flour, then egg wash (egg wash is
made of lightly beaten whole egg with a little water/milk) and finally
with the bread crumbs.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF MEAT AND ITS SOURCES
1. Pork – meat from domesticated pigs,
typically high in fat, commonly
slaughtered one year or less of age to
ensure tender cuts
