Meat Netting Applicator (Curing & Smoking Aid)

Stop struggling with manual meat netting!

This 3D-printed applicator is an essential tool for every home meat curing and smoking enthusiast. It is designed to make the preparation of hams, loins, or shoulders significantly easier and faster. Thanks to its conical shape, it smoothly stretches the elastic netting, allowing the meat to slide in without snagging or damaging the muscle structure.

Key Benefits:

• Easy Handling: Simply slide the netting onto the outside of the tube and push the meat through the center.
• Universal Design: The tapered shape allows for various netting diameters.
• Clean Workflow: Minimizes hand contact with the netting during filling, improving hygiene and the final look of the meat.
• Durable Construction: Robust design ensures long life even under the pressure of larger meat cuts.

How it works:

1. Slide the curing/smoking net onto the narrower end of the applicator and bunch it up onto the body of the tube.
2. Place the meat into the upper (wider) opening.
3. As you pull the meat out from the bottom, the netting smoothly slides off the applicator directly onto the meat, keeping it perfectly compact.

Material & Hygiene Recommendations:

• Material: The model can be printed from common materials like PLA or PETG. PETG is preferred for its higher temperature resistance during cleaning.
• Maintenance: We recommend thoroughly washing the applicator with lukewarm soapy water after each use.
• Pro Tip for Hygiene: Since FDM 3D printing creates tiny pores between layers, we recommend lining the inside of the applicator with food-grade plastic wrap or a clean plastic bag before inserting the meat. This prevents direct contact between the meat and the plastic surface and makes the meat slide through even more easily.
