What Do You Use A Meat Press For?
What do you use a press like this for?
(Note that this link is to an eBay auction that has ended, it's not some lame attempt to scare up bidders for it.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...568988 1&rd=1 Yeah, sure you can press juice out of half an orange with it, but what can you do with it that involves meat? |

I don't know about that one specifically, but in our food science labs we used a Carver press (a *serious* hydraulic press) for meat to compare various cooking methods with regard to juciness. In other words, prepare the meat in different ways, cut off a piece, weigh it, put it between absorbant material, press it in the machine, then weigh the resulting meat "wafer" afterwards to see how much juice was extracted. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

They hold together just fine in the pan, just having been shaped by hand. Maybe after it's fried, you could squeeze the fat out of it, but you'd lose the juice too. It would be terribly dry. |

Well, there are duck presses designed to press all the juices out of a duck carcass. Googling on "meat press" also turned up something about making 'lunchmeat' sorts of compressed ingredients. |

Googling on "meat press" also turned up something about > making 'lunchmeat' sorts of compressed ingredients. Meat presses were used, amongst other uses, to extract meat juices for diets for invalids. Here is a recipe from the 1941 edition of The settlement Cook Book Beef Tea Select 1/2 lb of beef steak from upper part of round or the rump. Cut into small pieces. Broil or warm slightly 1 or 2 minutes to set free the juices, then squeeze out the juice by means of a press or lemon juicer....... |

It's for pressed duck--
See "From Julia Child's Kitchen", page 243. You roast 2 ducks, carve off the breasts, remove the legs, then take the remnants and put them in the press. The crushing action extracts the meat juices which are then used to make the sauce for the duck.

Amazing that Sheldon would allow a thread about a MEAT PRESS to go this long without making some profane comment, and this only when provoked. His restraint, up to now, has been admirable. (And uncharacteristic of him.) |
