Cutting A Schnitzel Cutlet

Video Transcript

Hi! I'm Chef Rainer Wickel and I am here today with expertvillage.com. Well we are on to our next step and that is cutting the meat. Now we have some really nice pork chops right here. As you can see they are really really thick and these are really nice choice pork chops. But the thing is they are way to think to make wiener schnitzels. We need to make them about half an inch thick because our next step, we are going to basically pound them and make them really flat. We need to make them a little bit thinner so that we can do that. So what you need to do is put the pork chop on its side and make sure to get a nice sharp paring knife. You want to make sure it is nice and sharp because you are going to cut it right down the middle and then just go ahead and take the center point and start cutting. Now you want to make sure that you have a really sharp knife because these are pretty thick so you have to get all the way through them and that is the main reason we need a really good cutting board because we really do have to cut these pretty well. So go ahead and cut through that fat, fold them apart and as you can see, that's a good half inch thick. That is pretty much what we need. They can be a little bit thinner but we can go ahead and pound these out so they'll be nice and flat. You can see here around the sides here we still have a lot of fat. You have to make sure all of the fat is cut off so just go ahead and set it down and just slice the fat off, go all the way around. You know cut a little bit into it. You might get a little bit of meat in that but you want to make sure that the fat is completely off. Some times on these chops you got a little extra piece of meat in there that has a little bit of fat in there. You can go ahead and leave that on because that's not that much and let's go on to the next one. Boy, these chops look pretty good. These are going to make some pretty incredible schnitzels. I know this is an awful lot of work but believe me, the end product is well worth it. Boy, those look really nice. Those are going to make some really good schnitzels. Okay and that's how we cut our meat to make wiener schnitzels.
