Study Notes
Fabrication Overview
- Fabrication refers to cutting carcasses into wholesale and retail cuts.
Objectives
- Understand principles behind fabrication.
- Identify and list wholesale cuts.
- Recognize retail cuts derived from wholesale cuts.
Role of Bone Structure
- Acts as a guide for cutting carcasses.
- Indicates cut tenderness:
- Cuts with thoracic/lumbar bones are tender.
- Cuts from tibia, radius, and ulna are tougher.
- Cuts with scapula, humerus, and femur have medium tenderness.
- Assists in cut identification and age determination of the animal.
General Fabrication Procedures
- Chill carcasses at 2°C:
- 48 hours for carabeef and beef.
- 24 hours for pork.
- Cut pork carcass at 16°C.
Wholesale Cuts of Beef/Carabeef
- Front Quarter includes:
- Ribs, plate/short plate, brisket, foreshank, chuck.
- Hindquarter includes:
- Flank/navel, round, loin.
Specific Cuts
- Porterhouse Steak:
- Contains T-shaped bone.
- Features tenderloin and sirloin muscles.
- Most expensive cut; yields six slices per animal.
- T-Bone Steak:
- Similar to porterhouse but with smaller tenderloin.
- Club Steak:
- Last two one-inch slices of loin, lacks tenderloin muscle.
Retail Cuts from Hindquarter
- Round features various cuts:
- Rump roast, sirloin tip (boneless and easily formed), medium tender round steak, tough heel of round, soup bones.
Pork Cuts Classification
- Divided into three categories:
- Lean Cuts: Ham, loin, shoulder.
- Primal Cuts: Ham, loin, belly, shoulder.
- Miscellaneous Cuts: Pig’s feet, tail, fat/lean trimmings, neckbones, spare ribs.
