Abstract
A device to assist in cutting accurate portions of meat will measure the height of a loin of meat of known density and width while being wrapped around the loin, and will instruct the user how thick to slice a portion from the loin so that the portion weighs the desired weight.
Claims4
A measuring device for determining the thickness of a cut of meat necessary to produce a desired weight of meat comprising:
- a. a flexible strap having a first end and a second end;
- b. a measuring scale printed proximate to said first end of said flexible strap;
- c. a cut-width scale printed proximate to said second end of said flexible strap;
- d. wherein, when said flexible strap is wrapped around a loin of meat said first end of said flexible strap intersects with said cut-width scale thereby indicating a meat cut width necessary to achieve a desired weight of cut meat.
