Gralloching gloves, best price, best quality?

[Ali]

I have used these for a few seasons now and pretty good.

I'd also recommend whatever they have in the cupboard at work.

Why is blue required for food? I see on tv many cooks using black gloves in commercial kitchens or at the grill stations.

I actually do have hot water available in my truck, so yes, I do.

That said, don't take me too literally. It was a wider point about gloves not necessarily being required or beneficial at all points of carcass handling. I agree that for most instances, gloves are an excellent idea and I use them myself, as I did say.

Your point was well made.
My EHO doesn't want me wearing gloves for butchery. When hands get dirty they get washed. Gloves tend to be worn well beyond the point at which, if they were hands, they would have been washed.
But in the field gloves are excellent.

Because blue stands out among most backgrounds, hence blue plasters in the catering trade which also have a metal strip that makes them metal detectable. Black just seems to be the new cool color.

plasters are blue in the food/kitchen trade.

Yes but I’d never really linked gralloching with actual food prep rules quite that deeply that gloves should be blue. I’ve had white, blue, orange and black and well as often none and never thought about it.

As soon as you squeeze the trigger you should go into food prep mode.

(Even before that, if you want to be pedantic, as we are supposed to make a visual appraisal of the animal's health before taking the shot, as the first part in assessing its suitability to enter the food chain. So every step of the way is linked to food prep. But not every step needs gloves).

I get that it’s food and I like to think I produce a decent carcass but blue gloves never really occurred to me

Just an idea to share I wear agricultural calving gloves or AI gloves but still wear the nitrile gloves over the hand on top of others because the calving gloves don't fit well..
Protects your whole arm from blood stains on coat or save washing
Then you can grab any rubbish like wipes etc and fold the glove inside out to make a carrier bag.
You can now get these long gloves with a hoop to go over your head to stop them falling down too

Many EHOs prefer that no gloves are used because it can encourage poor hygiene/handwashing practices.

Personally, in the field I use the best nitrile gloves I can find. Can't recall the name, but the green ones from Mole Valley Farmers are pretty good.

Eh? (Edit- Perhaps in larders, not in field)
