So, I ground a picnic yesterday with my KA. Meat came out nice and pinkish.
But the KA stuffer took forever to stuff, by the time I was done, the sausage was more of a gray color, not pink.
Did the meat go bad? I tried to keep it cool, and it had cure for at least an hour before I started stuffing.
Should I be worried? I have not yet smoked it, gonna do it tomorrow. (1.5 days in fridge after stuffing).
