Abstract

A method, and product formed thereby, for cooking meat products to produce an aesthetic surface and retain the natural juices wherein a heat shrinkable packaging material having a simulated net retaining surface appearance is formed around the meat product, and the package and meat product are cooked in a hot water bath to heat shrink the packaging material and create a three dimensional net surface design on the cooked meat product. The heat shrinkable material is thereafter removed, the meat product surface retains the netted surface design, and the meat product retains natural meat product juices.
