We first heard about “meat glue” from foodie friends at Momofukufor2, who used it to make the sleekest looking BLT in history! Finally, a way to get the perfect amount of B, L, and T in one bite, without having to deal with all those messy strips! Since summer and Father’s Day is right around the corner, it seemed like the perfect time to share this slightly bizarre yet awesome high-tech kitchen ingredient with you! Not saying that only fathers will enjoy the innovation, but I can say for sure that my dad would be the only person in my family who’s mouth waters at the sight of a puck of meat!<\/p>\n

Also known as transglutaminase, this meat glue is a safe, natural enzyme that links proteins, allowing cooks to bind pieces of meat together. It’s been used for ages in products like imitation crab and ham, and recently gained popularity in molecular gastronomy. For now, it’s still a bit expensive for the home cook, but can be found online<\/a>. Sure to be a show-stopper at any summer barbecue, the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
