Introduce the rack of lamb and discuss its characteristics.

Select a rack of lamb weighing more than 2 pounds, preferably 2.5 pounds.

Use a wet cleaning rag to keep hands clean during preparation.

Remove the fat cap from the rack of lamb using fingers to lift it, avoiding damage to the tenderloin.

Use a boning knife to scrape the fat cap off the bone, pushing the knife away from the hand for safety.

Clean the bones by holding the bone and scraping it with the knife, turning and lifting as needed.

Remove any remaining fat and silver skin from the rack of lamb to ensure a clean presentation.

Continue to clean the silver skin by grabbing it and tilting the knife slightly to scrape it off without removing meat.
