Red Seal Cook

Answer: A - Pressing sweetbreads improves their texture. Sweetbreads can be prepared in a number of ways but before they can be fabricated they must be properly cleaned and pressed. Cleaned sweetbreads are wrapped tightly into a log in cheesecloth and both ends are tied with butcher’s twine. They are then placed in a hotel pan, and topped with a half size hotel pan which is then weighted down. They can be pressed for a few hours or overnight in the fridge.
