Love your Gloves

When it's time to get down to business and do the dirty work that comes with processing meat, you'll need responsible gloves that will work for you, not against you! Hand sanitation is important and having the right equipment will help you both prioritize safety and make your meat processing operation quick and easy.

You'll love Trudeau's gloves that will protect even the most tender hands from the blood and guts you encounter during hunting season.

Keep Cuttin' your Mutton - Meat Knives that have an Edge

"Do you have any knives specifically used for meat processing?" We love that question from our customers here at Kooi Housewares, because we are totally consumed by our favorite meat prep knives! Of all the meat products you need to get your food processed, knives are probably the most important equipment. There are so many types of meat knives to choose from, varying by size, weight, and even purpose. Many knives are made specifically for certain steps in the meatpacking process - some are best for skinning, while others may be better for butchering or chopping. This Carving and De-Boning Knife by Rada is a perfect example - it's a must-have for meat processing. One of our favorite large chopping knives, the Cook's Knife, is by Rada as well; it will make fileting and cubing your meat a snap. In addition, the Rada Butcher Knife will also find great purpose in processing your animals.

Oooh, an Ulu for You!

Does a standard butcher or cook's knife not feel like it will make the cut for your meatpacking? Here's an alternative type of cutting device that will level up your meat processing equipment game - the Ulu knife. Originally an Alaskan heirloom, this unique knife slices through meats by rocking back and forth across your animal in one smooth motion. It's a multi-purpose knife that can slice, skin, chop, and dice meats with just a roll of your wrist. The large, stainless steel blades on these knives cut both your meat and the time required to process it, all at once! With several Ulu knife types to choose from, including a Walnut Ulu and a Birch option, they also can be displayed in your kitchen as an extra element of decor when they're not busy chopping.

Bored with your Boards?

We don't blame you, we would be too if not for these cutting boards we've come to love. If you've had enough of your flimsy plastic cutting mats that your sharpest knives make short work of, you've come to the right place. Whether you're simply looking for a quality, Everyday Cutting Board to use for skinning squirrels or you need a heavy-duty Chopping Block for a busty slab of beef, we've got all your bases covered. We've got Gripper Boards that will hold fast to slippery counters and a Carving Board that will help you get meat in the freezer quickly. If you're looking for to slice with the most style, the Gripperwood Acacia Cutting Board will check those boxes. Whatever you need, we've got a cutting board to bring to the table... er, counter.

Grind 'Er Up!

When it's time to get back to the grind, your meat shouldn't suffer from that 20-year-old meat grinder that gets used once a decade and goes straight back to the box in your garage. This Cast Iron Meat Grinder by Victoria will become a favorite piece of meat prep equipment that you'll cherish. It's sturdy and speedy, getting an average output of 1/2 lb - 1 lb of meat per minute, and can be used to make a variety of meat products, including sausages, minced meats, burgers, ground chicken and turkey, and meatballs (and the list could continue!) It's even got a table mount to make attaching to your countertop quick and easy.

Meat the Sharpest Finds of All

There's seemingly not enough space to cover all of the meat processing products we adore. With that in mind, it's time for rapid fire! Our customers love the Deli ProKeeper+ airtight container, which protects fresh meats from exposure to particles in the air that make it inside your typical food storage container and detract from the freshness, quality, and sanitation of your food. A meat thermometer, such as this Digital Thermometer by Escali, is essential for guaranteeing that your meat reaches ideal cooking temperatures. We also love Thermometer & Timer combination Escali created with this two-in-one device. A Burger Press Set will make your family cookout night a breeze, while a Meat Tenderizer will come in handy for preparing any protein.
