subject: Professional Kitchen Supplies For The Hunter [print this page] It is almost time for hunting season again! Whether you have been hunting for decades, or hunting for the first time, it is a good idea to process your own deer. By processing venison at home, you will gain a valuable skill and save money. If you have a lot of meat to process, you can get the tools you need from companies that sell professional kitchen supplies.
The first thing you should have in order to start processing your venison is a set of high quality hunting knives. You will be using them a lot, so it is a good idea to buy the best you can afford. Some of the better hunting knives come in sets of three including a camping knife, a boning knife, and a knife to cut meat. Some sets also include a sharpening stone so that you can keep the set in good condition for processing your meat. A set like this also works very well for processing fish.
When processing venison, a meat tenderizer with multiple blades can be very helpful. By tenderizing the meat in advance, you will shorten the cooking time required. An ideal choice would be a meat tenderizer with stainless steel blades. They can be very affordable, and you can even put it in your dishwasher.
To process venison properly, you must have a good meat grinder. This will help you grind meat to turn into burgers and chili. There are many kinds of grinders and attachments you can purchase. There are basic manual grinders available that are good quality. And some of them can be used on a table top. The basic models do not have a large capacity in comparison to electric grinders, but they can be very reasonably priced and will last a long time.
If you do a lot of hunting, or if you process a lot of meat, you may prefer an electric grinder from a company that sells professional kitchen supplies. These suppliers will carry some of the better models. They have a powerful motor and can process over two hundred pounds of meat in an hour. The better electric models are very reliable as they can be used for commercial production, but they can still be affordable for home use.
Finally, you will need to have a freezer that can handle the volume of meat that you will be storing. Some models offer twenty cubic feet and have casters that allow you to roll it from one place to another easily. There are models available that use a refrigerant that is friendly to the environment.
