THAWING

Thaw frozen products slowly at low temperatures.
If thawing in ice water, the recommended time-length is about 4 hours per kg.
If thawing in the refrigerator, it takes about 24 hours per kg.
You can thaw it while in the package, but the package may open during thawing, causing leakage, so we recommend double-bagging or thawing on a tray or bowl.

以前に比べるとネットでの取り扱い店がかなり減ったため、無事購入できて良かったです。
豚の頭は舌がない場合での販売もありますが、こちらは豚タンも揃っています!チラガー、ミミガー、ハナブク、ハナハナ、豚タン、頬肉など、美味しく、珍しい部位が取れます。
大人数で集まってきり分けて調理して食べましたが、どれも美味しかったです。

Great value for raw dog food

I feed my medium-large dog raw food, but my local supermarket doesn't always carry pork fat. He was looking a bit thin, so I got him this head as a treat to help fatten him up a bit. He loves chomping on this thing! What great value! Remove the ears and dehydrate them to make home made treats!

Great value if you have the time.
Brawn. An old English dish.
Fromage de Tete in French.
Or Headcheese in American lingo, which doesn't sound as sexy as the French version!

Nine hours in total. It would be less if the Meatguy could saw the head in half on some industrial saw as my hacksaw wasn't up to the job and had to do in reverse. That is, remove the mask from the skull and cook in separate pans.
Turned out very successfully though.
