QMS Website Sharpens the Edge of Butchery Site
A new and improved version of the Cutting Edge, a free resource featuring video clips of a master butcher at work, has been launched on Quality Meat Scotland's website, www.qmscotland.co.uk.QMS Industry Development Manager, Andy McGowan, said: 'The website is aimed at helping trainee butchers and farmers to master the wide range of cutting techniques required for the job.
'It's been very popular since it was launched on CD-Rom about five years ago and on the website in 2007.
'The feedback about the Cutting Edge has surpassed all our expectations. In the time we've been redeveloping it we've had messages from all over the world saying how useful a training tool it is.'
The new version features remastered tapes offering higher quality video and sound, and features over four hours of footage of master butcher, Viv Harvey, undertaking a cut-by-cut breakdown of a complete beef, lamb and pork carcase, and demonstrating how to maximise the value of each part of the animal.
Although the greatest interest in the teaching tool has come from the butcher and retail sectors, farmers looking to diversify into butchery through farmers' markets and farm shops have also found it a useful tool to develop their cutting skills.
The updated resource is available now at www.qmscotland.co.uk/cutting.
