Gizzard Machine Function: The gizzard machine performs several key tasks:
- Splitting: The machine first splits the gizzard open to expose the inner contents.
- Content Removal: The inner contents, including any grit or partially digested food, are then mechanically removed.
- Lining Removal: The machine peels away the tough inner lining (a thick, yellowish membrane) of the gizzard. This is one of the most important steps, as the lining is not edible and must be fully removed to ensure a clean product.
- Washing: The machine may also wash the gizzards to remove any residual contaminants and ensure they are thoroughly clean.
