  • How to Freeze Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs and Dairy Products
    How to Freeze Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs and Dairy Products Susan Mills-Gray State Nutrition Specialist Freezing is an excellent method of preserving animal products. Follow these basic guidelines to make freezing simple and effective: Choose only fresh, high-quality foods for freezing. Freezing does not improve quality. Animal products are extremely perishable, so hold them in the refrigerator until actual preparation for freezing begins. Work quickly so that foods remain chilled during preparation for freezing. Freezing does not kill spoilage organisms in food; it simply stops their multiplication. Organisms will continue to grow and multiply after the frozen food has thawed. Therefore, the number of bacteria in and on foods must be held at a minimum before freezing. For this reason, keep food and everything that touches it — hands, equipment and work surfaces — scrupulously clean. After handling raw meat, fish or poultry, wash hands, cutting surfaces and utensils with hot, soapy water. Laundry bleach can be used as a disinfectant for dishes, cutting surfaces and utensils. Follow package directions. Protect all foods to be frozen by wrapping or packaging carefully in moisture-vapor-proof containers or wrap. Freeze animal products immediately after preparation. Place packages in the coldest part of the freezer, and leave enough space between packages so that the cold air circulates well. Freeze only the amount of fresh meat or poultry that will freeze within 24 hours, about 2 to 3 pounds for each cubic foot of freezer space. Maintain a temperature of 0 degrees F in a home freezer, and do not let the temperature fluctuate.

  • Fresh Meat... Now Fresher Than Ever! How Fresh Meat Just Got Fresher with the Zero Zone Crystal™ Merchandiser Table of Contents
    FRESH MEAT... NOW FRESHER THAN EVER! HOW FRESH MEAT JUST GOT FRESHER WITH THE ZERO ZONE CRYSTAL™ MERCHANDISER TABLE OF CONTENTS Sendik’s Food Market 2 Lowe’s Markets 3 Don’s Quality Market 4 It was only a few short years ago that most retailers would have thought you were joking if you suggested putting fresh meat behind glass doors. They were convinced that the only way to make those packages sell was by displaying the product in open cases, where shoppers could easily grab the cuts of meat they wanted. That all too typical merchandising scenario, however, was accompanied by some undesirable side effects: Product temperature varied dramatically throughout open cases Packages were always in disarray due to shoppers “digging” for a colder package Product shrink rates were high and product needed to be rotated often, resulting in lost profit Slightly old product looked discolored and was unappealing to shoppers Shoppers complained of cold aisles near the open cases and would not linger near them That was then. This is now. When the Crystal Merchandiser hit the scene in late 2009, merchandising approaches gradually began to change. Dairy products, soft drinks, juice, beer and wine were the first to be placed in the new glass door cases. Packaged deli meats and salad mixes followed. Shortly after, the previously unthinkable happened — retailers began displaying fresh meat in Crystal Merchandiser cases. What follows is how this transition occurred, focusing on several retailers who have made the leap — and are glad they did. 1 SENDIK’S FOOD MARKET With stores located throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding areas, Sendik’s began its long history over 80 years ago, starting with horse-drawn produce wagons and evolving to full-service grocery stores with a well-earned reputation for courteous service, honesty and integrity.

  • Prototype Design of Chicken Meat Cutting Tool
    MATEC Web of Conferences 218, 04003 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201821804003 ICIEE 2018 Prototype Design Of Chicken Meat Cutting Tool Laurence1,*, Natalia Hartono1 , and Clara Alverina Setiawan1 1Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Pelita Harapan, Indonesia Abstract. The main thing the chicken skewers owners do is cut the meat into blocks. However, to produce a cubical meat shape is not an easy task and takes a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tool to help the chicken skewers business owner to cut the chicken breast faster. The purpose of this research was to design an ergonomically chicken meat cutting tool to produce cubical chicken meat in large quantities so that the work can be completed in a shorter time. The planning and product development stage of this research was based on Ulrich and Eppinger steps from phases 0 through 4. After that, a prototype evaluation was performed. The conclusion of this research was that the tool successfully worked as the design intended. The maximum cutting yield is 225 pieces, 15 times faster, suitable for half-frozen chicken meat, and the evaluation results show a good performance rating. Overall, most of the respondents (87.5%) were pleased with this tools, shown by 57.5% choose a smiling face and 30% show a big smiling face as their feeling of satisfaction after trying the gamma prototype. 1 Introduction Chicken skewer business categorized as a micro business where the maximum profit is Rp.300 million per year according to the constitutional law number 20, the year 2008 and also categorized as a home industry because at average there are 1 to 4 workers.
