a simple tip

[john.wells]

I just had a revelation a couple weeks ago while prepping some jerky: While thinking about how small my cutting board is for the mass of meat I had, the old squirrel cage starting creaking. I had just thrown away the freezer paper from all of the cuts and it dawned on me- freezer paper would make an awesome surface to put all that cut meat onto and season!!!! I just tore off a large sheet and taped it to the counter. No more big cutting board to clean, or mess on the counter to wipe down. I just use a little manageable cutting board to slice the meat. Easy as pie! I use this trick all of the time now- ribs, prime rib, chickens- you name it. Why did I not think of this earlier???

When we process our deer every year, it's freezer wrap on the tables! Much better than plastic. Make sure you put the shiny side up... had to teach my buddy that!

Good Luck!

There's a shiny side?

Yep, pull some out of the cabinet and take a look. It's the side that should be facing the inside of whatever you are wrapping.

I was kidding, I've had buddies say that when we're processing deer as well.
