    Where to buy Morton's Tender Quick and size

    I should also add that I like the cure recipe from Charcuterie because it's not as salty as TQ....don't have to soak it as long. I'm also not crazy about the PG in TQ. I'm sure it's a small amount, but I prefer the cure without it. I store my unused cure in a mason jar that has been vac-sealed...

    I've been using the above recipe from Charcuterie for some time now.....I've had really good results with it.

    Dry cure recipe question.

    Thanks guys....there's no iodine in it. And the recipe is by weight, which I thought would be OK, but just wanted to make sure. It is a cure after all, and I didn't want to take a chance.

    Dry cure recipe question.

    I've been using the basic dry cure recipe from Charcuterie for curing my CB. It calls for 1lb of Kosher salt. Can I use canning salt for this? It has a much smaller grain size, and I'm not sure if it will make a difference in the cure. Thanks.

    Smoked Coffee

    I was in a local farm stand type place that sells local goods picking up some local blueberries, corn and summer squash today. And, as I walked by the coffee bean section, something caught my eye. Wood roasted coffee beans! They are roasted in a wood fired roaster up in Maine. I picked up a bag...

    Smoked Coffee

    I think the best approach to this would be a wood fired roaster, like harryho mentioned. I too roast at home, and can attest to a roast that's gone too long, or a long roast at lower temps(more baked than roasted). I do however, use finely ground coffee in many of my rubs. Adds a nice flavor to...

    CB Cure Question

    The meat had the same texture/firmness all around. I cut into one of them, and the cure made it all the way to the center. I've never had this issue when doing a dry cure before, but maybe I'll give a wet cure a go on the next round. These got smoked yesterday afternoon, and I'll be slicing...

    CB Cure Question

    I got a whole loin at the market, cut into three pieces, weighed them, and applied my cure....which was also carefully measured. I used #1 curing salt, kosher salt, and added some sugar as well. I used the proportions given in the book "Charcuterie". I cured it in the fridge for 7 days, rotating...

    Nesco Dehydrator

    I have the same dehydrator. It works well, and I think it's a great unit for the price. We do a lot of herbs from the garden, and I've made jerky several time with it. Dried bananas are a favorite of mine....looking forward to seeing how the strawberries turn out.

    Last weekends sausage making Qview

    Those look great! Looks like you're putting that smokehouse to good use too.

    sausage help

    You need the plate, but not the blade in place for stuffing.I just ordered a plate for my grinder too. Found one on ebay...a bit cheaper than the link above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
