    hot sausage ?

    Drying the sausage bu running at a moderate temp in the smoker with no smoke for a little while, or unwrapping them in the fridge on a drying rack of some kind, is supposed to aid in smoke absorption from what I've read. Not sure it makes a difference, as I've enjoyed the end result no matter...

    LEM electric grinder review

    I had a chance to use the LEM #8 575 watt grinder I mentioned in another thread this weekend. I'm really impressed. I didn't run a stopwatch, but I'd guess it only took a couple minutes to process 5lbs of pork butt I had cubed and chilled. The unit seems well made and dissasembles really...

    Odd meat pricing

    Pricing seems weird here. You all might be right on the sell by dates and other stuff. Omaha seems to be stuck on the image of being a packing plant town, even thought the big plants and stockyards closed a long time ago. Our arena football team is even named "The Beef" and the town motto is...

    If I ever hit the lottery, I'm building his and hers kitchens. The cabinet in the garage idea is one I'm going to have to consider. too many gizmos, not enough cabinet space in the kitchen. Thanks!

    Changed mind and bought a dedicated grinder

    The stuffer will definitely be on the shopping list soon. Just need to figure out where I'm going to store it to keep the lady happy. She dosen't mind my kitchen gadgets, as long as they are out of sight.

    Odd meat pricing

    Was looking at ground chuck locally, and was suprised to see that it is generally less expensive than buying a chuck roast. Seems to be backwards of how it should be. Since the ground chuck goes through an additional processing step, I assumed it would be more expensive. I checked three...

    Changed mind and bought a dedicated grinder

    After reading a bunch of comments on the attachement for the Kitchen Aid grinder, I decided to get a dedicated grinder instead. Picked up a LEM electric #8. Can't wait to try it out.

    What Do You Guys and Gals Think Of MSG?

    I've got some family and friends that are sensitive to MSG, so I leave it out. Don't want to make my guests sick.

    Kitchen Aid Meat Grinder?

    Was thinking about replacing my not very well made manual meat grinder with a small electric one. I don't make tons of sausage, and don't have a big budget right now. I saw Kitchen-Aid makes a grinder that hooks onto their mixers. Anyone use one of these? Are they any good? And, does anyone...
