Mastering the Butchery of a Pig's Shoulder: Traditional Techniques

[@vmsteu3681]

I have used this video three times and Its been the most useful tool. She knows what she is doing.

[@boforgault3212]

I have watched over tons of videos on butchering. You are the best at teaching the options and methods. I am in awe. I cannot express how much I appreciate your videos.

[@Freesingskills19]

i also wondered about what knife you are using. my amish friends want to invest in a few new ones, so i was hoping you could let me know. thank you, and happy new year.

[@Kilogram24]

Sir, tip of the hat to you. Pragmatic explanation of the process of meat preparation for human consumption is, clearly, much needed on this forum.

[@yourlastchance_]

I have a serious question. Can you turn that last piece the picnic into a imitation prosecuitto or pancetta?

[@theinternetareboring]

Hi! I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a set of butchering knives? What did you use?

[@jandcmotorwerkz5097]

Would like to know of a video that provide guidance for sharpening that boning knife. The curves of that blade I find difficult to sharpen and now I just don't use it. Thanks

[@jasonsouza6581]

what farm do you recommend purchasing a half pig from in the portland oregon area? we went through a farm in camby. not happy. meat is good but the butcher took a lot of the fat/skin. trotters and lard. not going to say any names. i am just looking for a half pig that looks like yours. that i can butcher myself. by the way i love your video. great job.

[@foodfarmerearth]

depends on how they are raised. check out the video 'Pasture Raised Pigs' - they get lots of sunshine.

[@DDFriedRice]

I run an Irish pub and learned quite a bit from these videos. I now know how to instruct my cooks to make bacon, amongst many other types of cuts, for when the annual pig roast that we sponsor comes around! I particularly like how you show that virtually every part has a use: an important thing for a private food service establishment to consider :) To the immature folks commenting on this video, this is where your meat comes from. If you don't eat meat, then why are you watching this? Grow up

[@roseXgarden]

Hi I have a 1 week old dog I am waiting for to be old enough for consumption. I am wondering, would this butchering of the shoulder work on a dog's as well? Thanks. Oh and any tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

[@PhiLeo7973]

Truly, a superlative presentation,in its videography,content,and concise clarity. First vid,and I just subbed. Happy New Year,phil>------>

[@foodfarmerearth]

+Phil Leo I think Camas did an awesome job too! Thanks for watching - and subbing!! Happy 2016 to you, too. =)

[@glasshammer291]

Amazing skill on display here. Thanks for providing such a knowledgeable and confident presentation.

[@wenslydale23]

This lady rocks. How many people who are not professional butchers have these skills in the 21st century?

[@AZNPINOY345]

Being around a South-East asian country, I find this really informational and convenient , especially working in the poor farm areas occasionally.

[@tmcmellon]

This gal is very knowledgeable and does a great job explaining this procedure. I will watch the rest of the videos.

[@TheRelkaw]

Watched the first 2mins, almost jumping out of my chair at the complete lack of knife handling skills. yes the woman can cut it up, but she will end up doing some serious harm to herself in the future if she continues to bone like that. she's already cut her finger by the looks of things!

[@Rtv8836]

I think she would benefit from a shorter knife.

[@SeanHd00d]

@TheRelkaw, I'm a butcher and I was actually impressed by her knife handling skills. You'd be surprised how often we will hold a knife in the "dagger" position to separate primals. Knife work in butchery is a totally different animal from culinary knife work, I know this for a fact as I was a professional cook before I was a butcher.

[@TheRelkaw]

@@SeanHd00d Ive been a factory deboner for the last 13 years, all around the world. I'm all too familiar with how a knife is held in that position and how to use one. I still think she's a danger to herself and should be wearing the correct PPE. Cheers!

[@Chirmanickityville]

just heard your name dropped on Bobblehead homestead, lookforward to seeing your videos. watching the live feed of his build,

[@drinkinsaltwater]

Very professionally presented as well as informative. Everyone should know how their food makes it on to the table.

[@getonwithitNAO]

oh wow, the pig leg looks like a human arm in the beginning

[@123kkambiz]

KZbin has become universal Open University for any subjects

[@na2bling]

Thank you so much for your time and demonstration. I love knowing where my food is coming from and you are an inspiration for us do it yourselfers. I felt like I just finished a food workshop with your style of teaching. Much Thanks

[@mikedumais]

Great video. Appreciate the explanations as you go along.

[@MrStrawberrybones]

I have hair dye in my hair and I'm doing my nails, this is brilliant :) thank you for sharing with us

[@ronjohn862000]

Wow, I love this chick! Why does this have so many dislikes? This is how your food is made (except the factory slaughterhouses are way filthier... and the butcher for that matter). All of you whining vegetarians need to google the word "omnivore" and realize that you are one. Human tooth patterns prove that we are made to eat both meat and vegetables. Choose not to eat meat, thats fine but don't bash this woman for teaching us what our ancestors did on a daily basis for centuries.

[@Hyperguydotnet]

Food preparation or autopsy?

[@dimash244]

Thank you, very interesting and informative video! Appreciate you took the time to make it!

[@crazycowify]

Excellent idea about wrapping the skin around lean game meat. I am going to use that trick.

[@stereowindow]

Awesome, any change you could make a video how to cut it traditionally into Boston butt? There are no Boston butts in my country, so I'm interested in cutting my own from quarter of a pork :-)

[@brucebarton8767]

Gosh! I actually did it correct! Had to watch it again to verify!

[@Lsace8]

These 3 videos are great thank you for your time to post this. If people do not appreciate the idea of eating meat or if this video is to nasty for you to watch don't you have made the choice not to enjoy the available resources. For the person who pointed out it take our resources to feed these animals in that case I will not eat any soy burger to make up for the more enjoyable steak thank you very much

[@TheHoenheim]

a firmer grip, less likely to slip I guess, given it's a thick piece of meat. plus it looks like it allows you to cut with more force than if she held it the other way

[@arkethiaterrell1315]

I learned a lot, Thank you.

[@fredmmm9068]

Hi Adrienne. She use Wüsthof knifes, made in USA.

[@Jimothyp]

If you all are such experts then why are you watching a tutorial video? Go back to your mom's basement

[@user-earthandfire]

very informative, very succinct, very much greatly appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@imallearsru]

Another excellent video.

[@foodfarmerearth]

Thank you.

[@pasadena210]

I learned a lot, great upload.

[@yerk3]

I dispute the authenticity of your claim. What do they suggest you get the other 95% from? Carbs?

[@MurderCount]

how did i get from Edge vs Dolph Ziggler match to here

[@nexus1g]

I feel like I just watched Serial Killer 101: Disposing of the Body.

[@KowboyUSA]

Camas knows her pigs and butchering tools. I bet she'd be happy to the hair for you ladies.

[@yapith]

awesome tutorial. Thanks.

[@TheBeetrootman]

This is really interesting!

[@twakefield10]

was a featured video for like a week so i finally watched it

[@concon9326]

can someone tell me why she insists to hold her knife like that?

[@yerk3]

Nothing sick about it. This is how your food is created.

[@blinkalot9153]

...how do i always get to this kind of stuff

[@CallmeRogerRoger]

You're an exceptional teacher. You make me feel like I'll be able to do this myself! Thanks for the very informative video.

[@marksamuelcohen]

Point well taken....thanks.

[@BrodieCookeBC]

thank you for saying something nice. i enjoyed this video also.

[@3kmartialarts]

Cadaverez like to put in you estomach? Especially Porkthey feel like child of 4 years old...

[@c4987]

anyone have a pig shoulder I can borrow ??

[@Gigantotherium]

How do so many people dislike this? They know where their meat comes from right?

[@gowonscrunchyscalp]

I get so nervous when she holds the knife. She might cut herself badly with that manner. Otherwise great butchering video. I am a female too and been wanting to become a butcher someday.

[@kumeahsoi]

Whats "this" ?

[@amandaGALAXY1111]

vegetarian diets consist primarily of fruits, vegetables &whole grains, whole wheat bread, &brown rice. Lentils, beans, nuts& seeds make up the protein-rich portion of veg diets. meat substitutes such as tofu, textured veg protein& soy burgers r allowed. whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, lentils =high in fiber. Fruits& vegetables contain fiber too, while meat& dairy contain none. Fiber in the vegetarian diet helps regulate digestion so things don't move too fast/ too slowly through the body.

[@mamigie]

wow mam were same skills i also cutting pig that is my work we proud to all woman to know how to cut pig god bless mam you're my inferation

[@ZCD99]

very nice looks great!

[@dangerousrightwing]

This chick is awesome. She's petite and feminine, and she's tough and merciless with the knife.

[@CulinaryLabOC]

Great skills. Love the homestyle video. Clearly not your first pig fab!

[@mjray37]

is it wrong that i was drooling when the did a close up at 4:50

[@Just-Another-Tenor]

what happened to her finger?

[@chiledoug]

They still let folks eat meat in Portland?

[@mikedumais]

Its funny how the professional butchers are slamming Ms. Davis for her lack of experience, and how she isn't a professional butcher, however, I haven't seen even one of the so called "professional" butchers on this forum who possesses the skills this woman has. Where's YOUR video? It's obvious that she's got butchering skills as evidenced by the fact that at the end of the video, she has a beautiful pile of pig meat, in addition to the fact that she knows how to cook the beast as well. ALSO, her presentation skills are great, and I've not seen any of the critical butchers with the presentation skills this woman has (with the exception of Scott Rea on his KZbin channel). She is what I would call the "total package". As far as the vegans who are slamming her...just change the channel and go find a tofu processing channel. They do exist. For those folks who don't eat pork for religious reasons, again, just change the channel. Nobody gives a damn about your silly dietary prohibitions.

[@studyinsteel5186]

+Michael Dumais I agree, I my self am guilty of that sort of sideline commentary on other topics. It's much more constructive to present a structured rebuttal or alternative, OR, the often ignored option, just not say anything if you don't have anything good to say. Also, the vegans can go evangelize to the kind people who don't appreciate the work that is done to provide their food instead of harassing butchers and farmers.

[@amandaGALAXY1111]

that is what we are promoting by having this dialogue. love&light4all

[@letifer6666]

Really... you use a saw to remove the hock... Afraid to miss the joint?

[@JFD1220]

Why did I go from Cream's Disraeli Gears album to this?

[@Dexide]

hi

[@boonskyler]

love the idea of leave skin on the cut.

[@cowboyrich6]

Whoever promoted this on youtube is a troll genius.

[@yerk3]

I, myself, am addicted to carbs. I know how bad they are for me, and yet it is so hard to resist white bread, rice and pasta.

[@bitf345]

You were getting ready to get me a beer to go along with my piggy sandwich. Remember?

[@emoguitarandpianokid]

this looks really fun :3

[@Lucky13Twice]

Is the copa the pork butt?

[@azian1245]

does she get freaky with the pig

[@ajvolume44]

dude that knife is sharp!!!!!

[@yerk3]

I'm not harassing you, I'm responding to comments you've made on a public comments section.

[@fredmmm9068]

Correction knifes are German made

[@globalexpressfreshbuytradi3769]

Well done, thank you

[@yermojoe]

Your fantastic..excellent!! Thank you for a great tutorial-

[@SelenaGomez10124]

i was watching how to do different braids then i see this video wow u really can be tought how to do a lot of different stuff even really weird stuff

[@pacoaliv]

so thats what a hamhawk burger is haha ive been wondering since that Simpsons episode like 9 years ago but never actually bothered to find out haha thanks pretty lady.

[@hbalikid1]

thanks I learned a Lot

[@Jemino870]

This is awesome. In my opinion, if you can't stomach butchering the kind of animal you actually eat on a regular basis, then you shouldn't eat meat. One huge problem in our culture is how disconnected we from our food. People actually enjoy having their heads in the sand when they go to the grocery store and buy all these pre-packaged animal parts without having to think about where it came from, what it originally looked like, what kind of food it ate, how it was prepared, etc. very sad indeed.

[@StgGummbear]

And what about cows and chickens?

[@BeanSlayer5]

How is this related to top ten infomercial fails!?

[@yerk3]

There are a number of knife sharpening videos on KZbin. I've found some of them to be useful.

[@69jeffmangold69]

Can you make a series for humans, please?

[@Original-Michiko]

I have no idea how I got here, but somehow I can't look away.

[@altovoltage2011]

excellent ,thx you to show us how versatile is a woman

[@GiaHeatherette]

I thought it was a joke. But either way I clicked it to comment. this is hilarious. I was watching a jpop video and they suggested this next.

[@gamecatcher99]

Sounds delicious.

[@bitf345]

You were getting ready to get in the kitchen to make me a piggy sandwich. Remember?

[@danielcorona9023]

when she got blood on the knife it looked like she stbd someone

[@chiledoug]

persnally being the klutz that I am I would were a cutting glove on my left hand..

[@carpii]

i wouldn't attempt this myself without a full suit of armor

[@hawaiilawhawaii6174]

Ditto on the cutting glove - about to do a shoulder and will definitely be using a glove. Shldn't do a youtube w/a bandage on! - Altho I am not criticizing her basic technique. Nothing wrong w/leaving skin on if you're doing certain roasts - we Chinese would always try to us w/skin on.

[@carpii]

Same in Britain. We usually score the skin when oven roasting, then salt it and blast at high heat at the end to puff up the skin into crackling. Not sure why Americans don't do this so much, its definitely one of the best bits

[@chiledoug]

carpii Oh yeah..

[@antonio121757]

How does this relate to Hardstyle Techno .-.

[@roseXgarden]

Hello.

[@ABlackGuyTalksAbout]

I wonder how many people who have seen this actually work with whole pigs.
