Lamb
Whole Lamb Rack
Lamb Loin
How to use
- Set your unit to 1°c – 3°c as maintaining a cold, stable environment is critical for lamb to ensure the fat stays sweet and clean rather than becoming rancid.
- Target 75% – 80% Relative Humidity as this allows the dense fat cap on cuts to protect the lean meat while still allowing the moisture to evaporate at a controlled rate.
- Ensure the lamb is hung with significant space between cuts for consistent airflow to prevent surface moisture buildup and unwanted bacterial growth.
