Abstract
A method of processing meat comprising cooking or heating the meat, vacuum packing the meat, further cooking or heating the meat and allowing the meat to cool.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Meat processing
She present invention relates to meat processing and in particular, although not exclusively to the processing of poultry such as chicken and turkey products.
In a known process for producing roast chicken, the chicken is roasted and then cooled prior to being portioned and packaged ready for sale. The packaged roast chicken only has a shelf life of between 3 and 5 days, or possibly up to 7 days. The short shelf life requires the chicken to be distributed and sold quickly which has many disadvantages including possible overstocking, with the result that chicken which exceeds the shelf life has to be thrown away, or understocking with possible loss of sales.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a method of processing meat comprises cooking or heating the meat, vacuum packing the meat, further cooking or heating the meat and allowing the meat to cool. It has been found that cooking or heating the meat subsequent to being packed and allowing the meat to cool can considerably prolong the shelf life of this product, for instance by up to 3 months. The term "cooking or heating" the meat is used herein to include both complete and partial cooking of the meat.
The cooking or heating prior to vacuum packing the meat may include roasting the meat which is particularly suited to poultry products such as chicken and turkey, in which the juices may be allowed to flow away from the meat prior to the packaging and further cooking.
The meat may be allowed to cool before it is packed or after the further cooking or heating, or both by forcing the cooling, for instance by refrigerated air cooling.
Subsequent to the initial cooking or heating of the meat, and prior to the vacuum packing of the meat, the meat may be divided into portions.
The cooking or heating when the meat has been vacuum packed may result in the meat being pasteu rised.
The present invention also includes vacuum packed meat in which the meat has been cooked or heated, vacuum packed and further cooked or heated and then cooled.
The invention may be carried into practice in various ways, but one embodiment will now be described by way of example.
A whole chicken is first roasted or steam cooked, for instance in a roaster, to allow the juices to come off the meat.
The chicken is then quickly cooled by refrigerated air cooling prior to being divided into quarters or other portions. The divided chicken pieces are then packed under a vaccum seal in plastic material.
The packaged chicken is then steam cooked at approximately 85"C to raise the temperature in the centre of the meat to 74"C. The cooking process is dependent upon temperature rather than time, and a temperature probe may be used in a sample chicken to monitor the temperature. This second cooking step pasteurises the meat.
The chicken is then quickly cooled again to between 0 C and 2"C by refrigerated air cooling and is able to enjoy a shelf life of up to 3 months.
The rapid cooling used in the process facilitates the handling and portioning of the chicken and minimises bacteriological action during these activities.
1. A method of processing meat comprising cooking or heating the meat, vacuum packing the meat, further cooking or heating the meat and allowing the meat to cool.
2. A method of processing meat as claimed in
Claim 1 comprising roasting the meat prior to vacuum packing the meat.
3. A method of processing meat as claimed in
Claim 2 comprising roasting the meat prior to vacuum packing the meat and allowing the juices to flow away from the meat.
4. A method of processing meat comprising force cooling the meat either before it is packed or after the further cooking or heating or both.
5. A method of processing meat as claimed in
Claim 4 comprising cooling the meat by refrigerated air cooling.
6. A method of processing meat as claimed in any
preceding claim comprising dividing the meat into
portions after it has been initially cooked or heated and prior to vacuum packing the meat.
7. A method of processing meat substantially as
herein described.
8. Vacuum packed meat in which the meat has
been cooked or heated, then vacuum packed, and then further cooked or heated and then cooled.
9. Vacuum packed meat as claimed in Claim 8 in which the meat has been cooked or heated by a
method as claimed in any of Claims 1 to 7.
10. Vacuum packed meat substantially as herein
described.
