Hog Breakdown Class May 2nd 2026 2-5pm

$235.00

This class will be partial demo and full hands-on participation. Cecka will show how to break the side of hog into primals (sections) and then we will split up and each group will get to work on a primal together, breaking down the sections into chops, roasts, steaks and grind. Knives and cutting boards will be provided (but feel free to bring your own!).

We will also talk about different culinary approaches to pork and how to use the less common cuts at home. We will grind some pork and talk about meat grinding in your own kitchen as well as curing your own pancetta and smoking the meat.
