More On Pork

CannuliMeats.com is your One-Stop Source for quality information that will help make life easier for you and make the most of your buying/cooking/dining experience.

Cannuli’s doesn’t just sell the freshest top quality meats and poultry available, we help you to choose the right cuts and the most suitable preparation method, to know the proper cooking times and tell when the meat is done, and much more: All from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you can access the Internet.

Can you say, “Much more than your average butcher”?

And if you need to speak with a live human, just pick up the phone and call one of the numbers at the top of the page — or better yet, stop by our store at 937 S. 9th Street, in the Italian Market, and ask to speak with owner Charlie Jr. or his Dad Charles Sr. We’ll be more than happy to answer your questions.

The information provided here and elsewhere on the Site, gleaned from reliable industry organizations, will be helpful to just about anyone with an interest in purchasing, preparing and/or eating quality meats and poultry. From the newlywed with little homemaking training (they used to call it “Home Ec” in school), to the food lover interested in rounding out his or her knowledge, to the cook seeking specific answers to meat/poultry-related questions, there’s something for everyone.

We invite you to surf around our redesigned Website for a while. Get to know what Cannuli’s has to offer for the enrichment of your life. We believe you will not leave the Site disappointed, and hope you’ll return again and again, and will turn friends and family members on to our veritable InfoFeast of Gastronomical Proportions!

“More on Pork” Navigation Bar

Let us direct your attention to the Navigation Bar on the right hand side of the page. Beginning at the top we have “Quantity” – or “Deciding How Much Pork to Purchase” (which doesn’t fit too well on our custom designed Sausage Buttons). Here you’ll find a chart showing the Number of Servings Per Pound for various pork cuts, from Chops and Steaks to Roasts and Tenderloin to Ham Hocks and Ribs, even Variety Meats like brains, kidney and liver.

Next in line we have “Right Cuts” (which has little to do with professional boxing). “Selecting the Right Cuts of Pork” takes into consideration several variables, such as: How lean the meat is; the preparation method that will be used; the number of people to be served; and the cost of the cut, as well.

“Doneness” or “Testing for Doneness” is a Chef’s Recommendation* for cooking juicy, tender, flavorful pork ( No Need To Overcook! ). It also teaches us how to do the “Touch Test” (which is NOT a dance . . . but may have you singin’ and boppin’ ‘round the kitchen once you get the hang of it). You’ll be determining the doneness of pork like a professional chef.!! Works great with Cannuli’s lovely little pork tenderloins!

So as not to detain you any further, let’s run down the remainder of the pages on the NavBar to the right: “Pork VS . . .?” provides an extensive chart comparing pork with other meats like lean chicken, lean cuts of beef, and fish, for fat, calories and cholesterol. “Marinades” gives tips about marinades, dry rubs and glazes for pork. “Measuring” explains “How to Properly Measure Ingredients” for your favorite recipes. “Pots & Pans” is a chart (with cute little line-art drawings) listing various pieces of cooking equipment, with a description of their uses. And finally, “Glossary” is a Glossary of Terms, a fairly long list of Cooking Terms.

So go ahead and explore our “More on Pork” section and the rest of Cannuli’s great new Website. And thanks for visiting CannuliMeats.com.
