A 7-inch heavy meat cleaver is a robust and indispensable tool in establishments that handle large quantities of meat. Designed for power and durability, its broad, rectangular blade is thick and weighted to deliver substantial force with each cut. The heavy stainless steel blade is engineered to withstand the rigors of chopping through tough materials like bones, joints, and dense cuts of meat.
In meat-cutting operations, the cleaver is primarily used for breaking down whole animals, splitting large cuts of beef or pork, and chopping through poultry bones. Its weight allows for efficient cuts with minimal effort, making it a valuable tool for butchers and high-volume processing tasks.
In restaurant kitchens, the cleaver is commonly employed for tasks such as portioning ribs, splitting whole chickens, or cubing large chunks of meat for stews and braises. Beyond meat preparation, it is also versatile for crushing garlic, or even smashing bones to extract marrow for stocks.
The 7-inch heavy cleaver’s combination of size, weight, and sharpness makes it a vital piece of equipment in both specialized meat-cutting operations and general culinary settings, ensuring efficiency and precision in demanding tasks.
