Before you get to work on taking care of your meat, you want to make sure you have the proper tools for the job! High-quality butcher supply stores (like us!) can help guide you in starting up your own meat production facility with food processing supplies you can count on.

The specific supplies you might need can differ depending on what animal you are butchering. However, there are a few basic tools that are needed universally for butchering. Some of the most common butcher supply tools include:

 

• Skinning and boning knives
• Meat saw
• Meat slicer
• Tenderizers
• Grinder and mixer
• Scale

It’s very important to take care of your food processing supplies, as not properly cleaning them can result in bacteria and rusting, as well as a loss of quality in some products. It can also result in a change of flavor of whatever meat you are currently working with, if bits from your previous slaughters are still on there.

 

You’ll want to begin with cleaning your hands thoroughly first, of course, before moving to the equipment. After washing your hands, if you’re going to be cleaning a slicer, knives, or anything sharp, you should also put on a clean pair of cut-resistant gloves to help minimize any potential hazard. For cleaning, you should use a high-grade, antibacterial soap and warm water. Focus on the most used areas of your machine, before going to the harder-to-reach nooks and crannies. When you’re done, you can either pat your equipment dry with paper towels or let it air dry. Some products might require a more detailed clean, so if you’re unsure, you can always look up the best methods for cleaning a certain piece of equipment!
