What knife is used to cut velvet pieces?

Fresh velvet antler should be treated as follows:

1. Burn velvet with no fireworks (alcohol lamp, electric stove, etc.). ) and then scrape with a bamboo knife. There are also those that don't get rid of hair and then break off branches.

2. Softening: The basic method is to soak in 50-55 degrees of wine. You can pour wine into the pith of velvet antler or soak velvet antler in wine. It is more common to soak the broken end of velvet antler in wine for 0.5-l 1 hour, so that velvet antler is infiltrated by wine through capillary action. It can be soaked in hot wine at 50℃ or cold wine at 20℃. Pilose antler is soaked in wine and softened more easily after heating. There are three heating methods:

(1) Bake at 50-60℃ for 2-3 hours;

(2) Steaming in a pot, and stewing for1-1.5 hours after boiling;

(3) put it in a jar for 2-3 days, turn it over for 3-4 times, and soak it in cold wine at low temperature to soften naturally; The antler segments soaked in wine can also be roasted with charcoal fire to soften the antler, then sliced and roasted while cutting until it is finished.

3. Slicing: The tool for cutting the original piece of velvet can be a traditional Chinese medicine cutter or a special velvet slicer. There is no special tool, steel knife or steel knife is ok, but it must have a certain hardness. If a kitchen knife is used, the residue should be sharpened, washed and dried. The slice thickness is 0.5 ~ 1.0 mm, and it should be put on the page of the original slice with absorbent paper in advance when cutting. And then respectively package according to different grade.
