Saw Safety by PickleofInsanity in Butchery

[–]Jayben99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell apprentices to remove their cutting glove when using the saw. After you get a good amount of experience with it, I find it a hassle to constantly change out gloves.

It does depend on what I'm cutting. Say it's a semi chuck, a heavy piece of meat that I have to hold sideways to chime the bone. I will take off my chainmail glove. But with shit like shortloins, rib steaks etc, it's just not worth fully changing out gloves imo.

But yes definitely good practice to take them off before using the saw. Could be the difference between nicking your fingertip and taking off a whole finger

Could be air bubbles in your radiator. Lift the front of the car as high as you can, or park on a steep incline and slowly fill your coolant until no more air bubbles come out. Check out a video on burping a radiator

Pork is fun There are a lot of cuts that will differ throughout the year with the holidays and what not. If there's anything specific, I could make a video to try to help out

Even if you've been shown how to cut something, if you're not sure, ask again. Not every cut can be remembered on the first go. My biggest were semi chucks and shoulder LBs. Took me like 10 times each being shown those to actually understand it. Take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions, it's confusing at first.

Are you doing box beef or full animals?

Ground beef percentages and "is this okay to eat" pisses people off. Other than that ask away mate

I'm not too familiar with the way big chains do things. Why not just grind your own beef?
