Using this Nella #24 meat netting is a breeze. First, take your meat, whether it's a roast beef or stuffed chicken breast. Wrap the netting around the meat gently. The elastic nature of the netting will hold the meat firmly in place. When you're ready to cook or smoke, you can put the meat with the netting on directly into the oven or smoker. It can withstand a high temperature of 450°F, so you don't have to worry about it melting. After cooking, simply pull the netting off the meat, and it will come away easily. As for maintenance, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the netting. This way, you can keep using it for your next meat - cooking adventure.
