How Can You Tell Good Quality Mutton?

When a lamb is slaughtered at 30 or 40 days of age, it is called a suckling lamb. When buying lamb meat, you should pay attention to the fact that the color of the fat is white like foam, the color of the meat is light pink, and the bones of the back (chops) are thinner than the average person’s pinky finger.

What Should You Check Before Buying Meat?

Red meat is one of the indispensable foods of kitchens with its many uses and cooking areas such as barbecue, meat dishes, meatballs, grills and many more. So what do we pay attention to when buying meat? Do we really buy healthy meat? If the meat is not stored under appropriate conditions, it causes negative effects on human health.

The meat of each animal has a different color. The color of the meat differs according to the parts of the animal’s body. The dark color of the meat does not mean that it waits too long. To understand whether the meat has been waiting or not, we need to pay attention to the dark rings on it. If there are no dark purple rings on the meat you are going to buy, the meat is fresh.

Another important thing to pay attention to when buying meat is the smell of the meat. If there is a heavy odor other than the smell of the meat itself, never choose that meat.

Meat stored or produced in unhygienic environments greatly jeopardizes human health. Bacteria formation and mold are observed in meat in unhygienic environments. When buying meat, you should take care to buy meat that is kept in closed areas and packaged.

You should prefer meats that have a marble pattern and do not fall apart when you touch them. What we mean by marble is that thin fat veins pass through the meat. This gives flavor to the meat.

How To Make A Cutlet Sealer?

The sealing process is known to be a method of frying both sides of the meat in a heavily heated pan and trapping the juices in it. The process of sealing mutton chops is as follows:

Using a spoon, press down hard so that the entire surface of the mutton chops adheres to the cast iron skillet. Wait 4 minutes on high heat without touching the meat. Then flip the chop to the other side. Press again with a spoon and make sure the chops are well adhered to the pan.

Process For Marinating Grilled Chops

This marinade for grilled mutton chops should be prepared at least 3 hours before cooking, and the chops should not be chopped.

Garlic is whipped together with spices, mixed with yogurt, cutlets are covered with this sauce and rest in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours.

Tips For Cooking Chops

• Once the mutton chops are marinated with the right spices, the quality of the pan in which you will cook is also important.
• You can guarantee that the mutton chops will cook very well if you use a steel or cast iron skillet. You can start preheating the pan by taking the cutlets marinated a few hours before out of the cabinet.
• The skillet should be heated over high heat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Regularly place the cutlet in the pan and try to hear a “sizzling”(I love this sound) sound from the meat touching the pan. If there is no sound, take the meat out and let the pan heat up some more.
• Make sure one side of the meat is well cooked without using a fork or metal utensil. Once the sealing process is complete, continue to cook the other side.
• Do not press the meat while it is cooking, this will prevent water from coming out inside the meat.
