Costco's mechanically tenderized meat

[rotuts]

next time you visit Costco , take a look at the device .

 

they say they clean the unit regularly thgouthout the day.

 

as ive never tried their meat , my guess is that if you cook

 

the meat as a steak , ir fast   you might get a chew that's a little more tender .

 

the technique is not going to affect any slower method of cooling.

 

the issue , are surface bacteria introduced into those spaces

 

thus cooking 130 F is a concern for the time the meat takes to heat up to 130 F

 

such as a several lbs roast , SV'd whole at a lower temp.

 

the meat might also be unsuitable for aging in those UMAI bags .

 

however , I was told by a butcher there , in person , a while back 

 

that if you don't want the jaccarding , they will wrap uyou up the cut w/o

 

the process , at the same charge.
