Animal muscle turns to meat after slaughtering. Meat is surrounded by a layer of connective tissues, consisting almost entirely protein collagen. Meat tissues are composed of three main factors, water, protein (connective tissue) and fat. Carbohydrate also appears in meat as it gives the browning effect of meat when cooked. Without this carbohydrate, the desirable flavor and appearance of browned meat would not be achieved. Meat are mainly referred as red or dark and white meat. Red or dark meat is mainly made up of muscles with fibers that are called slow fibers. These muscles are used for extended periods of activity, such as standing or walking and need a consistent energy source. The protein...

Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, I still see recipes that insist you should cook meat at high temperature for the first twenty minutes or so to seal it and then lower the level for the rest of the cooking time. This has become the fashionable way and I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with a lack of time in an age when both partners tend to work for a living. What I am certain about is that this is not the best way to treat a prime roast. Nor does it 'seal' it. Let's put this myth to bed once and for all. Cooking meat at high temperature, whether in the oven, on the barbecue or in a pan does not seal it! It burns it. That's why it goes brown. And it introduces extra flavor...

As a busy individual, the least that you would focus your spare time to is cooking your meal. Going through drive-through fast foods will not usually equal the home-made cooking that you can get. If only you have sufficient time to attend to the busy preparations in cooking. As you know, cooking meat can be a really taxing work especially if you lack adequate time for this thing. So what is the microwave doing? Don't just let your microwave oven sulk in one corner of your kitchen. Make use of it and cook your meat! Cooking meat in the microwave oven? This can be a big NO for most people. They will oppose to this idea, so to speak. Their reason will usually be the same as their usual claims that the...

I happen to be a ground meat lover. While today I use mostly ground turkey, I still love my ground meat recipes. I own a cookbook called 365 Ways to Cook Hamburger. I love that cookbook. When I began using my crockpot more often, I began to look for ways I could convert many of my favorite recipes to crockpot recipes. Since I began using ground turkey, one of my favorite dishes is meatloaf. I rotate making it in the oven and making it in the crockpot. I use between two and two and a half pounds of ground turkey. Many people mix ground meats. I just use the turkey. Your consistency will be different if you use ground lamb, ground pork or ground beef. All are fine to use, you'll just taste the...

I have never been able to find a commercially made mince meat pie filling that contains meat. Every one I have tried is all fruit. My mother made mince meat pie every year for the holidays. I would help her make them and some were given away to the neighbors. It was a fun activity with her. Now when I want mince meat pie I do it alone. This is how we would make it. We used cooked roast beef. Chop 2-cups to pea size pieces. To that add 1/2-pound of finely ground suet. Mix them well then chop about 5-pounds tart apples and add to the meat. Granny smith apples are perfect for this.We would put the apple peelings and cores in a pot and boil with about a quart or a little more of water for ten minutes...

Losing weight is just one of the things that most people dream about. Now, you can actually make that dream come true. However, you do not need to follow any fad or take any pills. You simply have to say goodbye to meat. If you look surprised, don't be. Vegetarianism is actually long been in the history. Before people knew how to kill animals to make them as foods, they used to eat plainly plants or in our world today, we call them vegetables and fruits. Being a vegetarian and weight loss is one thing but the other thing is that you can totally protect the animals if you are a vegetarian. Instead of eating steak or burgers, why not eat tofu? Tofu is also a good source of protein that you may loose...

Even though people eat lots of fruits and vegetables to maintain a strong and healthy body, many people still refrain from having meat. This is because meat is a source of fat, which makes one obese.   However all meats cannot be considered as unsuitable for consumption, since there are certain consumable meats, which people may have without fearing for weight gain. For instance, kosher meat is one such meat that anyone can consume, since the way it is prepared in a unique and hygienic manner.   Why it is a healthier meat?   Kosher meats are suitable for consumption due to several reasons such as:   These meats are made out of only those animals, which chew their own cuds, and these include...

Want to know how to marinate meat to be so tender it melts in your mouth? Then your first ingredient needs to be vinegar, or something acidic based, such as canned tomatoes, or tomato juice. But personally, the secret ingredient here is vinegar. You only need about 1/2 cup of it, and you can dress it up with all kinds of herbs and spices. This is the part where you use your imagination. If the meat is quite thick, then you need to "open up" the meat either by stabbing it with a fork, or with a meat pounder. Place the meat in a casserole dish, that will let the marinade sit on the meat. Don't use too big a dish, or the meat will not absorb the marinade. Once you have come up with your vinegar based...

After getting started in meat goat production, one needs a way to sell the goats produced. Slaughter goats and cull breeding stock are usually sold at livestock auction sales. Sheep and goats are usually sold together at the same sales because they can be handled, transported, and slaughtered together. Buyers prefer to have both available. Sales that have both, get more buyers and get better prices. Sale barns that sell goats and sheep at their weekly cattle sales do not get as many goat buyers or as good of prices as those which hold separate monthly sheep and goat sales. Many meat goat producers sell goat meat directly to the consumers. To sell meat directly to a consumer the animals must be...

Free range and organic meat and poultry are supposed to be better for you as well as taste better, but do you honestly know what the difference between the two is? I though I did, or at least would be close, but I looked it up and I was somewhat surprised. Organic means it meets the requirements of the Organic Food Production Act of 1990. The meat and poultry needs to have been fed certified organic feed since birth. So what qualifies as organic feed then? Organic feed is grain and soybeans grown in soil that has been pesticide and chemical fertilizer free for three years minimum. Also the animals and poultry need access to the outdoors and no antibiotics or drugs can be used on them. The term free...

When switching to a raw meat diet for dogs, there are generally 2 techniques that are popularly used. The first one is called the Rapid Switch method. And the second one is called the Transition Method. The Rapid Switch method, as the name suggests, entails switching your dog abruptly from his old diet to a raw food diet. Basically, you just stop feeding him whatever diet he's on and the just start feeding him raw meat. This works well for a lot of dogs. It is also the simplest method to transition to a raw meat diet. For some dogs, especially those who are very used to their old diet, the rapid switch method may not work well. Dog owners can use the Transition method. In the transition method, you...

When it comes to smoked fish recipes, salmon is likely the most popular. However, white-fleshed fish like cod, tuna and fresh water fish like pike, trout and bass can also be counted among the tastiest smoked fish. Smoked salmon is readily available in most seafood stores. Smoke it Yourself The process of smoking fish isn't complex. First, fish is "cured" in a brine of water and salt until the flesh glazes. Then, smoked slowly over wood in a covered "smoker". The brine can also be updated by adding other ingredients like garlic, pickling spices, etc. for more flavor. Salt and water are the most important factors in "curing". Once the flesh of the fish has glazed, you can allow it to dry slightly, if...

A Dachshund is a dog that is easy to identify. He is the one that has a long, low body that looks like a fat sausage with legs attached. The Dachshund with his long body and short legs is built that way for a very good reason. It makes it easy for him to crawl in badger tunnels to hunt the animal he was named after. Dachshund in German means badger hound. The badger is a rodent that is harmful to crops and poultry. For hundreds of years farmers all over Europe have been bothered with them. Because they live in tunnels in the ground, they are hard to catch. When a badger was chased by an ordinary dog, he'd dive into his hole and the dog couldn't do anything but bark and paw at the entrance. The...

There is nothing like some nice chili in the food. Chili goes great in any recipe. Chili is totally the best ingredient in the majority of the recipes. That's why the ground beef and sausage chili is America's favorite recipe. But when you have a great ingredient it's important to use it the right way. And here comes the crock pot.

p>For a nice change of pace, make these in the Italian style, with a slight variation in the spices. Instead of the quantities of rubbed sage, thyme, and marjoram, substitute one teaspoon dried thyme, one teaspoon fennel seeds, and a half teaspoon rubbed sage. You might also want to increase the amount of red ground pepper from a fourth to a half teaspoon. ** Notes on buying meat: Besides cooking method, you'll want to consider the amount of meat to buy, as well as its cost. Price per pound is what you'll find on the label, but price per serving is what you need to consider. A boneless, well trimmed piece of meat may cost more per pound but may cost less per serving because there is a more edible...

Another deer hunting season is over and I have been presented with several deer hearts. The heart is no different than any other organ meat and can be prepared in a number of ways. One way is to slice it thin and fry it for sandwiches. I have also stuffed the heart and baked it for a main course. Serve it with mashed potatoes and country gravy, a salad and bread for a satisfying dining experience. The hunters around here seem to lean towards the pickled delicacy. That is another thing they can not find in a supermarket. Today I have started to pickle those hearts. I have washed them well several times and sliced them into 1/2-inch slices. I put them in a glass gallon jar and sprinkled each layer...

What is brining? Why do it? Brining is soaking meat in a salt heavy solution. Just like humans, most mammals are mostly made up of water. When meat is soaked with brine, the water in the meat will be drawn out into the brine because the moisture inside the meat is greater than the moisture outside due to the salt. This happens until the point the that the brine dries out the meat so much that there's more moisture in the brine. The meat will then start drawing in the brine and until the moisture is equal. This is when the brine mixes all throughout the meat. Simply put, soaking meat in a salt heavy, flavored, and seasoned solution will replace the water in the meat with the solution, something no...

To have delicious meat, it starts first with the preparation. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your meat or poultry is prepared correctly, so that they can taste their best. Here are some tips I would like to share with you on the best way to prepare meat and poultry: 1. Save on boneless chicken breasts by doing the boning yourself with a sharp knife. It is a lot easier if you freeze the breasts slightly before you begin. 2. You don't need a special mallet to flatten chicken breasts or other thin pieces of meat. Place the meat between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with the underside of a small, heavy frying pan or a saucepan. 3. When you cut up a chicken, always save the back, neck and...

How many times have you heard, "Salting raw meat (or poultry or fish) will draw the juices out and make it tough?" I see this statement repeated in cookbook after cookbook as if it were a fact. Yet in older cookbooks, especially the ones based on European cooking techniques, salting meat before cooking is done routinely, without loss of juices. In fact, if you do it right, meat that is salted before cooking can be much juicier and more succulent than meat that isn't salted! So who's right? Is it the people who say don't salt, or the old-fashioned cooks who say you SHOULD salt? They BOTH are. The issue isn't the salt. The issue is WHEN you should apply salt to raw foods, especially meat, poultry, and...

Using rubs on the meat that you are going to barbecue (or grill) will greatly enhance the flavor of your food. Simply put, by utilizing this technique you can so greatly increase the flavor and taste of what you are grilling outdoors that your neighbors or friends will think that you are a professional chef.

Using a good rub can really make a difference in how your food comes out. Sure you can use BBQ sauce, but a lot of times BBQ is just used to cover up inferiority, whether it be inferiority in the food, the way it was prepared, or in the cook...

A lot of individuals are growing rabbits to furnish themselves with high quality meat for the table. And it's not hard to see why because growing other kinds of meat such as pork, chicken, and beef require more room and more labor. In addition, domestic rabbits produce an all-white meat high in quality, low in fat, and easy to digest. In fact, a lot of doctors recommend rabbit meat for individuals with digestive issues. Everyone recognizes that rabbits can reproduce very rapidly and with simply one pair of bunnies it's possible to produce over a hundred pounds of high quality meat each and every year. One doe can produce ten times her body weight every year. And the amazing thing is that she can...

Raising rabbits for meat is a common business but it requires more dedication and attention compared to normal pet rabbit care. In this kind of business, the first thing that should be considered is the breed of rabbit to produce. The types which are commonly used in the business of raising rabbits for meat are the Californians and New Zealands because they are the fastest producing breeds. Most owners have purebred stocks of these types while some crossbreed them to produce babies that grow more quickly and are more vigorous. The New Zealand breed is one of the most popular among rabbit meat because they can already be sold in the market in just 8 weeks. The Californians, on the other hand, are...

Buying meat online gives you easy access to grass-fed beef. People that try grass-fed beef for the first time always comment on its distinctly deep, earthy, beefy flavor. They also notice that it is very lean and does not have the greasy after-taste that is typical of cattle raised on grain and corn. Instead, the distinctive taste comes from the range of grasses and vegetation that cattle consume which gives the beef a unique flavor - as opposed to grain-fed meat which relies on extensive marbling. Grass-fed beef is more healthful than regular super-market beef because it is lower in calories and contains higher concentrations of healthy nutrients. Meat from cattle fattened on grain contains a great...

How can we balance organic or natural foods with chemicals and preservatives? It seems inescapable. At times I will play a game with food labels. I deliberately pick up a carton, read only the label and try to guess what food product is in the container. As I read the words for the preservatives and chemicals that are on the label the food is no longer recognizable. Have you tried this exercise? As you read the labels on the dog food my main question is...Where is the meat? And when I finally locate a dog food that lists meat first it is expensive. The next question is...How much meat is in the product? Maybe for you it makes sense but percentages do not tell me anything. If meat is being stored in...
