At Cutting Edge Services, we\u2019ve always been committed to giving you \u2018the edge\u2019 over your competition – and in addition to our wide range of butchery knives, meat cleavers and knife sharpening products, we\u2019re widely recognised as one of the undisputed market leaders of primal air inflation services. Since it\u2019s a service offered by relatively few organisations in the UK, you might not be fully up to speed on exactly what it involves – so we\u2019ve sat down with Karl Bushell, our Product Manager for our range of hand tools, to explain what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n
Primal inflation is basically the term we use for the process of using specialised equipment to inject air into a primal cut of meat, such as the forequarters or hindquarters of a cut of beef or pork. What that does is inflate the connective tissues between the muscles, so that it\u2019s easier to cut them cleanly.<\/p>\n
Crucially, the air that we use is filtered and sterile – that means it\u2019s free from any foreign bodies like oil and water molecules, or bacteria in the air. We obviously can\u2019t work with air that hasn\u2019t been carefully sterilised beforehand, as it would otherwise make the cut unsuitable for use. That would mean a lot of wastage!<\/p>\n
In terms of the species it works best with, we primarily use it on beef and pork. To be honest if you\u2019re thinking about taking advantage of this service, those are the ones I\u2019d recommend. We tend to use primal inflation just before the deboning process begins, where it\u2019s processed by the operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
