It can be used in most ways chicken meat is used. Rabbit meat is leaner than beef, pork, and chicken meat. <br /> <br /> Rabbit products are generally labelled in three ways, the first being Fryer. This is a young rabbit between 1&amp;frac12; and 3&amp;frac12; pounds and up to 12 weeks in age. This type of meat is tender and fine grained. <br /> <br /> The next product is a Roaster; they are usually over 4 pounds and over 8 months in age. The flesh is firm and coarse grained and less tender than a fryer. Then there are giblets which include the [[Offal|liver and heart]]. One of the most common types of rabbit to be bred for meat is New Zealand white rabbit.<br /> ===Safe Cooking=== <br /> <br /> * When roasting rabbit parts, set the oven temperature no lower than 325 °F. A 2 pound, cut up rabbit should take approximately 1 hour to cook.<br /> * A whole, 2- to 2 1/2 pound rabbit should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours to roast. Stuffing it will add approximately 1/2 hour to the cooking time.<br /> * Braising rabbit (cooking it in a small amount of liquid in a covered pan on the range or in the oven) also takes about 1 hour. Rabbit can be [[broiled]] about 15 minutes on each side.<br /> * For safety, cook rabbit to an internal temperature of at least 160 °F. The use of a [[food thermometer]] is recommended to make sure that your rabbit is safe to eat.<br /> * It is safe to cook frozen rabbit in the oven or on the range or grill without [[defrosting]] it first, although the cooking time may be about 50% longer.<br /> * Do not cook frozen rabbit in a [[slow cooker]]; thaw first. Cut whole rabbits into smaller pieces so heat can penetrate the meat more quickly.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{SeasonalInfo}}<br /> July, August, September, October, November &amp; December.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Safe minimum cooking temperatures|Safe meat cooking temperature (rabbit)]]<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Meat]]<br /> [[Category:Game]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/rabbits|#rabbits]] [[Special:Search/defrosting|#defrosting]] [[Special:Search/broiled|#broiled]] [[Special:Search/game|#game]] [[Special:Search/offal|#offal]] [[Special:Search/slowcooker|#slowcooker]] [[Special:Search/foodthermometer|#foodthermometer]] [[Special:Search/protein|#protein]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
