Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sabatier Provence 6-Inch Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver
Customer Review: Great for meat processing
Summary: 5 Stars
We decided to give up on our local grocery after two batches of tainted meat (no kidding!) and the fact they seem to soak the meats in water; when you grill, the steak or chop pours liquid. What ARE they doing? So I got a small chest freezer and now I buy my meats from an Amish farmer. More work, but no additives, etc. And the quality is incredible. For processing the meat, you do need a cleaver. This Sabatier cleaver is just right for re-sizing "primal cuts" which are the de-boned sections of meat, not the side on the bone itself. It really is an improvement over the chef's knife.
I have not tried cutting bone, because I lack a good, sturdy, non-moving cutting board. But for meat cutting, this is excellent and it even is easier for cutting up stew beef than a knife.
Description of Sabatier Provence 6-Inch Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver
There isn't really a good substitute for a cleaver when you need to cut through bones or thick cuts of beef. They tend to work best when they're extremely heavy--half the work is done by the weight of the knife, rather than the cook's upper body strength. While the blade here is only 6 inches long, the knife weighs close to 2 pounds, which is hefty enough to tackle the thickest of sternums. The handle is solidly crafted and comfortable, and the weight falls right in the center of the blade, which is a place many chefs prefer. Hand wash this knife, and be careful--when wet, it gets very slippery and a bit difficult to handle safely. --Jill LightnerCleavers
