Blackburn, Lancashire -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/11/2013 -- Following the scandal that shook a large percentage of the United Kingdom and even Europe, butchers have been faced with a growing number of customers as consumers are choosing to place their trust in them. This is great news for any local butcher, who may have been facing closure if their sales didn't make a rapid turnaround.

Not only is this good news for the butcher, it is also great for consumers. The time honoured tradition of visiting a butcher for your meat and watching them work their magic with a butcher's knife was becoming a less frequent image. However, following the horsemeat scandal there has been a huge turnaround, which may not be the case if the public choose to place their trust once more in huge supermarket chains.

While the scandal seems to have settled, it is still fresh in many minds. The media coverage seems to have died down and eventually it is possible that the horsemeat issue will be forgotten. This means it is more important than ever for butchers to hold on to their clients, not only for the sake of sales but also for public interest.

It is possible that processed meat could in fact lead to an earlier death due to the health defects that accompany eating too much salt, present in a lot of processed food. Diets centred on meats such as sausages and bacon may in fact increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Food experts have come out and said that presently there is no link between where the food has come from and what is on the plate. Burgers can be created with a butcher's mincer and doesn't have to come out of packet. However this seems to be time consuming, making it unappealing to those with busy lifestyles. Butchers all over the country are being encouraged to visit schools in order to educate children about the meat they are consuming.

Unfortunately, our current economic climate makes it more difficult for people to pay extra for the food they are buying; however the food we consume should in fact be a priority. When you visit a local butcher you can watch him produce the meat with his tools and commercial butchers block, you can be sure of the origin of the meat. The trust you get when buying from a local butcher cannot be matched.

Butcher equipment and large cuts of meat more popular than ever thanks to the influence of Channel 4 chefs.

Lancashire, England -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/21/2013 -- Television chefs The Fabulous Baker Boys' have created a home butchering renaissance since their highly successful show launched on Channel 4. The show which centres around two brothers concentrates on their love of baking, butchering and cooking. The butchering aspects of the show have in particular caught the attention of the nation. Many viewers had never explored the possibility of preparing large cuts of meat, so were interested in this new food preparation technique.

During the recession, many people are keen to save money wherever they can. People are constantly on the lookout for money-saving exercises that will not compromise the quality of their lives. One of the most effective ways to decrease expenditure without decreasing quality is to invest in bulk products and bulk goods. This can be applied to food. Buying large cuts or joints of meat can work out cheaper per serving than buying small, individual portions. This cost-effectiveness makes monetary sense but requires more work.

This explains the success of the Fabulous Baker Boys, they have imparted the knowledge of large scale butchering and made it appear attainable for the common man. Their informal style of presenting and food preparation has made butchering less exclusive than ever. It has led to an increase in Butcher Knife and equipment sales.

Viewers have discovered that it is not necessary to have large cumbersome machines to butcher animals such as chickens, turkeys and lambs and even large cow or pig joints. High-quality Butcher Knives can make quick, efficient and clean cuts through meat. Butcher quality cuts can be produced almost instantly at a fraction of the price paid for a professional.

The Fabulous Baker Boys are known for creating a wide range of family favourites and warming dishes. Pies, stews and broths are created using the freshest of ingredients and the most effective of butcher equipment. The brothers have also testified about the importance of proper equipment care, giving a full guide to helping the equipment retain its peak performance. It is vitally important for butcher knives to remain sharp and strong. A blunt and weak knife will not perform to the desired level. The brothers preach the use of steel sharpeners. Regularly using a steel sharpener will help the butcher knife retain its quality. Furthermore, a wooden butcher block will not serve to diminish the quality of the butcher knife that cuts atop it.
