Cooking with Meat Project BoxDo you want to learn more about cooking with meat from one of the following market animal projects: beef, swine, sheep, goat, poultry, or rabbit?
Calumet County 4-H and the Distance Learning Team brings you the opportunity to participate in the Cooking with Meat Project Box. By participating in this distance learning project, youth will learn the following:
-The safe way to cook, store, freeze, and thaw meat of the different project species.
-How to find the correct internal temperature of the cuts of meat.
-Try different recipes, helping them learn different ways to flavor and cook meat.
We encourage youth to learn to cook with the animal species they may be raising, but also to try others to learn some differences and other skills. There will be a Zoom meeting hosted by Bernie O’Rourke, Extension Livestock Specialist, to lead youth through a cooking lesson, using the information in the Cooking with Meat box.
Please register as a family. The response statewide has been amazing, and we may actually run out of supplies to be able to send everyone who registers a meat probe, cutting board, etc. but still send them the book and recipes.
