Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

Heat unfolds them and they link to each other: they bind, they firm, they build crust. They are one half of the Maillard reaction; sugar is the other.

Where it catches you out

Every protein has its own threshold and none of them are reversible. Egg turns at 82 °C, meat at 70, fish at 55 — once past, there is no coming back.

The knack

Weigh the edible boneless portion; this profile is a composite of raw retail cuts including lean and fat.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep raw meat refrigerated at 0-4 °C for 3-5 days; freeze at -18 °C for 6-9 months.

Gluten-free

Plain raw lamb is naturally gluten-free.

Glycaemic index

This ingredient carries no meaningful carbohydrate, so it has no glycaemic index. On its own it will not move blood sugar; what you eat alongside it decides that.
