Tips from the chefs on how to best prepare the neck

• It is better to buy meat whole and cut it at home.
• An ideal neck slice should be approximately 2 cm high.
• It pays to start early! The more time the meat spends in the marinade, the tastier it will be. Leave it on overnight, or at least for 4 hours.
• The same goes for baking. The slow-roasted neck is full of flavor and the meat literally melts on the tongue.
• When frying and grilling, on the other hand, the meat must be pulled quickly. You can tell the ideal temperature by holding your hand 10 cm above a hot pan or grill for just 2-3 seconds.
• No baked-on leftovers! Check and clean the grate before grilling.
• As with other meat, it is also true for neck meat that after baking or grilling, it is best to let the meat rest for a while, e.g. under foil, a lid or a plate.
