??? about sinew

<< < (5/6) > >>

Boro:
How abut freezing tendons? Do they change if frozen?

Papa Matt:
Never have tried to freeze them, but I think it would probably be best to do that after letting them dry first in air. I don't think the refrigerator would hurt them if you wanted to stick 'em in there for some reason.

DanaM:
I get raw backstrap sinew from the processor and he freezes it for me, it doesn't cause any problems unless it freezer burns.
Once its dry there is no need to freeze it.

Boro:
Ehem, cows are fat. At first, cleaning was a bit difficult but after a few I got a hang of it and went fine. It is drying slow and I got the middle still wet while edge areas became dry, translucent with a pinkish tone. Haven't tried to pound it yet, I will get back with that too...

Boro

Papa Matt:
Sounds like they're coming ok. Don't pound them until they are completely hard and dry.
