SMALLGOODS LAB
HARVEST TO HANDCRAFTED · Start with your meat, choose your style, build your batch.
Build your batch
Select your meat, then product and regional flavour. The menus only offer compatible choices.
Select the cut you have. Suitability suggestions are not recipe verification.
The order depends on your chosen mode. Meat type controls available cuts. Recipe availability remains based on documented meat and product matches; cut-specific suitability is guidance only until individually verified. Invalid downstream selections are cleared; meat weight is kept.

Recipe, ingredients & method
Pantry & shopping list
For measured recipes only. Tick ingredients you already own; print or copy the remaining ingredients.
Recipe reliability
MEASURED FRESH All enabled ingredient quantities are stored as weights in grams; currently four fresh formulas are source-checked. Verify meat suitability and cooking temperatures before preparation.
PARTIAL MASS FORMULA Only checked weight ingredients scale; any remaining volume measurements are held for verification.
VOLUME → MASS REVIEW A cup, spoon or clove measurement cannot become grams without a source-backed ingredient-specific weight.
MEAT RATIO ONLY Only the meat proportions are quantified; seasonings and toppings require a separate source.
CURE HOLD Cured, cold-smoked, dried or fermented recipes are shown for research only. Production and ingredient scaling are blocked pending process validation.
SOURCE / INDEX LEAD Linked catalogue leads lack fully reviewed amounts. Nothing is invented to fill gaps.
Recipes and flavour references are credited to their original authors. This app does not automatically search the internet or check live shop prices. Favourites and pantry ticks are stored in this browser only. Original source quantities and their measuring system are retained for verification, never silently converted into ingredient weights. Metric and imperial selections display mass only; both use stored grams.
Butchery Workshop
Harvest to Handcrafted. Explore primal cuts, practical end uses and authoritative learning resources. Cutting instructions remain with the linked experts.
Cut location explorer
Conceptual regions only — not anatomical seam lines. Use linked guides for cutting.
Harvest & yield ledger
Record actual weights from this animal or cutting session. No predicted yields. Stored on this device only. Gross incoming weight can include bones, skin and material not entered as usable cuts.
Create a separate record for each animal or processing session. Existing v6 weights are migrated into v7 on this device. Back up your records before clearing browser data.
Safe handling and learning
Work from a clean, sanitised area with sharp, maintained equipment and suitable protective gear. Keep meat chilled, separate raw and ready-to-eat foods, and check local requirements for harvesting, inspection, storage and processing. This workshop is an educational index, not an inspection or food-safety certification.
Cut names and seam lines vary by species, age and local butchery convention. Refer to the linked source for a proper illustrated breakdown, rather than relying solely on an outline.

Back up your personal data
Backs up your private favourites, ratings and tasting notes. Harvest records have a separate backup in Butchery Workshop. Restoring this file replaces the local favourites and notes on this device.
Data portability & future accounts
Cloud sign-in, public reviews, popularity analytics and sync are not enabled. The data export uses a versioned format intended for later migration.
Family Recipe Vault
Preserve handwritten family recipes, make private editable copies, and print. Stored only in this browser — not shared, uploaded or synchronised.
Measured ingredients
Only enter source-confirmed weights in grams. Leave quantities blank when the original uses an unverified cup/spoon measurement. The family recipe is never automatically classified as verified.
A local thumbnail is compressed before storage. Keep the original paper/photo elsewhere too. Photos may contain names or other personal details.
Private backup & restore
Vault backups include the compressed recipe photographs and are NOT encrypted. This is separate from the existing v9 complete backup; export both until cloud accounts are implemented. Restoring replaces every recipe in this Vault.
Sharing to friends and groups, community reviews, notifications and automatic handwriting recognition are planned — none are live.
Discover recipes
Search the current source-attributed recipe catalogue. External discovery opens search results for manual review; it does not auto-import or verify their formulas. Filters narrow each other. Mixed-meat recipes may require additional species.
Experimental formulation worksheet
Experimental only. It is NOT a validated food safety or curing recipe. Curing chemicals and fermentation starters are blocked by name from this draft calculator; this is not a validated curing, fermentation or drying tool. Added fat is not total fat content.
Meat & fat components (actual weights)
Non-curing seasonings
Charcuterie & curing records
Observation log only. Recording values does not validate a process. No curing-agent amounts, recipe approval, fermentation targets or preservation instructions are generated. Use independently validated processes and qualified food-safety advice.
BBQ & smoking assistant — session log
Record equipment, timber, pit and internal temperatures, and resting/yield measurements. This is a logbook, not a validated cooking schedule.
Freezer & batch inventory
Track real meat weights, harvest references, freezer locations and prepared package counts. This is a private record stored on this device.
Private records in this module are stored in your current browser only. Back them up with the exports. No server account, AI imports, community sharing or live notifications are enabled.
