Why Is Meat Netting So Important?

You might have noticed over the years that many butchers use meat netting when they secure their meats. These include meats that have already been cooked and need to be cured and dried. But what makes these nets so important? You will be surprised when you see how well these small bits of butchery equipment can work.

Create Even Amounts of Pressure
Many types of meat that a butcher can prepare will naturally shrink over time. When the meat is dried and cured, the meat will start to shrink and wear out. An even amount of pressure must be applied to the entire meat to create a uniform shape. When the shape is consistent, it becomes easier for meat to be served and cut apart.

This may work especially well if you need help with keeping your sausage casing intact. Netting ensures that any new casing materials you apply over your meats will not break apart.

Allow Heat to Transfer Well
Meat netting also allows the heat applied to the meat during the cooking process to be delivered evenly. The netting is made with a conducive material that can retain heat and move it around the entire body of meat. This ensures that all parts of the meat will be cooked evenly and carefully.

Retain Flavors
Sometimes the natural juices inside a meat might leak out during the preparation process. A netting material can absorb any juices that leak and keep them from moving too far off from the meat. This allows the meat to retain its natural flavors without weakening or wearing out after a while.

Meat netting is a vital material that you will need to utilize when getting any meat you have prepared well enough. Contact Butcher’s Paradise to see what netting materials you can get and how they can be used for your own preparation needs so your meats will stay in their best condition possible.
