Best end with the outer fat cap removed — leaner, faster, cleaner slice. We supply it within our Best Ends range under Lamb, to UK wholesale kitchens — restaurants, butchers and caterers. Typical uses include kitchens working to a leaner plate, and dishes where a crust or a herb coating goes directly onto the meat rather than onto fat.
What it is
The rack with the covering fat and the muscle over it taken off, leaving the eye largely exposed. It cooks faster and slices cleaner than a capped rack, at the cost of the fat that would otherwise baste it — worth knowing before the oven timing is set.
How it is prepared
Cap off, with or without French trimming, whole or cut into cutlets.

Typical trade use
Kitchens working to a leaner plate, and dishes where a crust or a herb coating goes directly onto the meat rather than onto fat. Shorter cooking than a capped rack, and it dries sooner if it is left. Rest it as carefully as you cook it.
