What is the difference between grain fed and grass fed beef?

A common question people have about beef is, what is the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef? Well, grain fed beef is more tender and grass fed beef has more flavour, so what you need is a mix of the two. If you want tender, flavoursome beef it has to be grass fed and grain finished, that way it will have the flavour along with being tender!

local butcher often LESS expensive than big chains

We all know the quality of meat from your local butcher is always much higher than that of Woolworths and Coles but did you know that the price is often higher at these large chains? Costco has recently opened a few stores here in Australia promising quality products for cheaper prices but you have to pay a $60 annual membership to get these discounts. A Costco staff member told the sunday telegraph that their meat, among other products, is actually more expensive than the local butcher!! Go figure!

Tips for the best pork crackling

There's nothing like an awesome pork roast with crunchy crackling to go with it! Here are some tips to get the crackling just right:
1. score the skin
2. rub plenty of salt into the skin (some people also add lemon juice or canola oil, but using just salt works fine)
3. Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight
4. Take it out of the fridge 3 hours before cooking to ensure it is at room temperature before placing it in the oven
5. Turn the oven on as hot as it goes before putting the pork in
6. Cook on high for 30 minutes
7. Turn the oven down to 170 degrees celsius for the remainder of the cooking time (remember 30 minutes for every 500 grams)
