Not all cuts perform the same when grilled, griddled, or slow-cooked, and selecting the correct cut can make the difference between an average dish and a memorable gastronomic experience. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the hospitality industry, understanding how each type of meat behaves when exposed to heat allows for improved flavor, texture, and product yield. Furthermore, it helps optimize costs and ensure consistency in service. <\/p>\n\n<p>Below, we will look at <strong>how to choose the right meat according to the type of cooking<\/strong>, a fundamental aspect for any culinary professional.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grilled meat: flavor and intramuscular fat<\/h2>\n\n<p>Grilling is one of the most valued techniques in the hospitality industry, especially in restaurants specializing in meat. To achieve a good result, it is essential to choose <strong>meat with good fat marbling<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Intramuscular fat helps maintain the succulence of the cut during cooking and adds flavor.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of the most suitable cuts for grilling are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Entrec\u00f4te<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chulet\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entra\u00f1a<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bone-in rib<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These types of cuts react very well to direct heat and allow for a flavorful outer crust while keeping the interior tender.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <strong>Carns Mil\u00e0<\/strong>, for example, we work with cuts specifically designed for this type of cooking, such as <strong>Argentine bone-in meat<\/strong>, which is highly valued by restaurants specializing in grilling. You can discover more about their products in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/product\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/productes-carnisseries-hostaleria\/\"><strong>meat catalog for the hospitality industry<\/strong>.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Griddled meat: tender and uniform cuts<\/h3>\n\n<p>Griddling is a very common technique in professional kitchens because it allows for speed and control during service. In this case, it is important to choose meat with a tender texture and a uniform size. <\/p>\n\n<p>Overly fibrous cuts can become tough if cooked quickly; therefore, it is better to opt for cuts with a finer muscle structure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some examples of ideal meats for griddling are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beef tenderloin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boneless entrec\u00f4te<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gourmet burgers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Picanha cut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These cuts allow for quick and uniform cooking, which is essential in services with high dish turnover.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to gastronomic experts and food sector organizations such as the FAO, the quality of the cut and temperature control are two determining factors in achieving tender and succulent meat.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/product\/\"><strong>In the<\/strong> <strong>Carns Mil\u00e0<\/strong> catalog<\/a>, you will find a wide selection of veal, premium beef, and prepared products such as burgers, with formats adapted for the hospitality industry and different types of packaging according to your needs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meat for slow cooking<\/h3>\n\n<p>Slow cooking is perfect for transforming tougher cuts into extraordinary dishes. In this case, the best meat for professional kitchens is that which contains more connective tissue and collagen. <\/p>\n\n<p>When cooked for hours at a low temperature, this collagen transforms into gelatin and provides a very succulent texture.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some ideal cuts for these types of preparations are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beef cheek<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rib<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brisket<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These meats are common in traditional dishes and also in modern techniques such as slow cooking or American barbecue.<\/p>\n\n<p>In our catalog, we have veal, pork, and lamb cuts ideal for slow cooking, with complete butchery and pieces adapted to every type of professional preparation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/product\/\"><strong>You can view our variety of meats in the catalog.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meat for roasting<\/h3>\n\n<p>Roasting is another technique widely used in professional kitchens, especially in restaurants looking to offer hearty and flavorful dishes.<\/p>\n\n<p>For this type of cooking, it is recommended to choose meat in large cuts that maintain moisture during oven cooking.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some common examples are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High loin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roast beef<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shoulder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heel of the round<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These cuts allow for a golden exterior and a juicy interior, especially if the oven temperature is well controlled.<\/p>\n\n<p>Many restaurants use these cuts to prepare dishes that can be carved to order or served in generous portions for sharing.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/product\/\">In our catalog<\/a><\/strong>, we have a wide variety of large cuts of veal, beef, and pork, as well as imported and aged meats, ideal for achieving roasts with great flavor and plate presence. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of the supplier for professional kitchen meat<\/h2>\n\n<p>Beyond the type of cooking, product quality also depends on the supplier. Working with a distributor specialized in meat for professional kitchens guarantees product consistency, good meat traceability, and cuts adapted to the needs of the hospitality industry. Furthermore, it provides gastronomic advice to help professionals choose the most suitable cuts according to the type of cuisine and cooking method.  <\/p>\n\n<p>A good supplier does not just supply meat, but also helps the restaurateur select the most suitable cuts according to the type of restaurant and the cooking technique.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/\">Carns Mil\u00e0<\/a><\/strong>, for example, the focus is on offering products designed specifically for kitchens, with formats and cuts that facilitate the work of chefs.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the right meat is key to a restaurant&#8217;s success<\/h2>\n\n<p>The selection of <strong>meat for professional kitchens<\/strong> is not just a matter of quality, but also of culinary strategy. Each type of cooking requires a specific cut, with particular characteristics of fat, texture, and muscle structure. <\/p>\n\n<p>When this choice is made correctly, the benefits are clear:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Better flavor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater succulence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better product yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater customer satisfaction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Therefore, having <strong>a specialized supplier who understands the needs of professional hospitality<\/strong> can make a difference in the day-to-day running of the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <strong>Carns Mil\u00e0<\/strong>, we work with restaurants and industry professionals, helping them select the <strong>most suitable meat for each type of cooking<\/strong>, with selected products and personalized advice.<\/p>\n\n<p> <strong>Do you want to find the meats that best suit your kitchen?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/en\/contact\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.carnsmila.com\/contacte\/\">Contact our team.<\/a><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right meat for professional kitchens for each type of cooking is a key decision in any restaurant.
