Meat Tenderizing Blocks and Cutting Boards

Bianchi Pro offers butchers, supermarkets, and food service companies a wide range of meat tenderizing blocks and cutting boards, such as the polyethylene cutting board, the polyethylene block cover, and the polyethylene meat tenderizing block.

These are essential tools for meat processing and must meet certain characteristics to ensure excellent results.

Meat Tenderizing Blocks and Cutting Boards: The Benefits of Polyethylene

Polyethylene is a highly appreciated material for the production of meat tenderizing blocks, cutting boards, and meat tenderizers due to its advantageous properties, especially in professional contexts such as restaurant kitchens, butcher shops, and food processing labs. Here are some of the main benefits:

• Wear and Impact Resistance: Polyethylene is extremely durable and withstands daily wear without easily getting damaged. This makes it ideal for frequent cutting and intensive use with heavy kitchen tools like meat tenderizers.
• Hygiene and Ease of Cleaning: Compared to wooden cutting boards, polyethylene is much less porous, which reduces moisture absorption and prevents bacterial growth. Additionally, it is easy to wash and can be sterilized at high temperatures, making it a hygienic choice.
• Soft Yet Non-Abrasive Surface: While being a durable material, polyethylene is soft enough not to damage or blunt knife blades quickly. This helps extend the lifespan of kitchen tools.

The polyethylene used for these products is generally food-grade, so it does not release harmful substances when in contact with food. Additionally, it is available in different colors, useful for distinguishing the use of various blocks and cutting boards based on food types (meat, fish, vegetables) to prevent cross-contamination. Unlike heavier materials like wood, polyethylene is lighter and easier to handle. This feature is useful in contexts where frequent transportation or repositioning is required.

Therefore, polyethylene proves to be an excellent choice for both the quality of work and hygiene safety, making it ideal for intensive professional use.

Cutting Boards and Meat Tenderizers: Essentials in the Butcher Shop

In a butcher shop, the use of cutting boards and meat tenderizers is fundamental to ensure proper and safe meat processing. Each tool has a specific role and contributes to maintaining high standards of quality and hygiene. Here's how these tools are indispensable in the daily work of a butcher shop:

1. Professional Cutting Boards
• Materials: Polyethylene cutting boards, as mentioned earlier, are ideal for butcher shops due to their durability, hygiene, and ability to preserve knife blades. There are also wooden cutting boards, which some prefer for their aesthetics and sturdiness, but they require frequent maintenance.
• Dimensions: In professional settings, cutting boards are often large to provide ample workspace but also modular, allowing for working with multiple parts or cuts of meat simultaneously.
• Color Differentiation: Many butchers use cutting boards of different colors to distinguish between raw meats, cooked meats, or other foods, preventing cross-contamination and maintaining a more organized workspace.
2. Meat Tenderizing Blocks
• Solidness and Stability: Meat tenderizing blocks, often made of solid wood or thick polyethylene, are designed to withstand repeated blows and provide a stable surface for tenderizing meat.
• Shock Absorption: The structure of the blocks is designed to absorb impacts without transferring them to the work surface or damaging the meat, allowing for precise cuts and tenderizing.
• Ergonomics: The blocks are often positioned at an optimal height to allow the butcher to work comfortably and with strength, reducing physical effort and the risk of injury.
3. Meat Tenderizers
• Models and Materials: Meat tenderizers, which can be manual or hammer-style, are usually made of stainless steel to last over time and resist rust. There are also polyethylene meat tenderizers for more delicate processing.
• Specific Function: The meat tenderizer is essential for softening tougher cuts of meat and for preparing uniform meat slices, ready for quick cooking or specific recipes. Tenderizing also allows for better distribution of juices within the cut.
