Is there an easy way to french trim a rack of lamb? I had to be part of a lot of french trimming of racks of lamb at the weekend, and it seemed to take a long time, so it got me wondering, is there an easy way to do this? Some preferred tool?
Alton Brown demonstrates using a piece of string to scrape the bone clean.  First he cuts and trims the bulk of the meat down to where he wants it.  Then, he uses a string tied to a garage door handle (very cheap at any hardware store).  Loop it around the bone a couple of times and pull, and it cleans it right up.
