    PPM cure#1 for whole muscle

    Actually... Dry cured bacon, rind off is different: Dry Cured Bacon (rind-off): A maximum of 200 ppm of nitrite or equivalent of potassium nitrite (246 ppm) can be used in dry cured bacon. Note: the calculation method for nitrite in dry cured bacon is the same as that for nitrite in other dry...

    BOUDIN!! 70#.....Long, lots of pics...

    Thanks! I see why I couldn't find your salami recipes, they are under preserving food, Curing. I was searching in the sausage subforum only.

    BOUDIN!! 70#.....Long, lots of pics...

    I did a search for you, calabrian, only found a njuda and calabrian fresh. Is there another calabrian salami you make? I'm trying to find something I feel like spending 6-8 weeks on, and you're the guy to ask ;)

    BOUDIN!! 70#.....Long, lots of pics...

    @indaswamp wow, great writeup and pics! Thanks for the effort, enjoyable post to read. ALSO... I see you listed 10kg pistachio lemon salami. Like 1 or 2 years ago, you posted how you made that and loved it, and I bookmarked it. Now I see 10kg, I'm wondering if this is your current favorite...

    Non-Fermented and Firm/Dry Beef Snack Stick: Any Advice to add "snap" to my sticks?

    @geostriata First, those recent pictures of sticks look amazing, what a fine looking product! There is a ton of data here, thanks! I was surprised by your final "answer" though, it seems a complete departure in time and method from your steady gradual data gathering? Everything was 6 hrs to...

    Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Brats. Keto if desired.

    I was going to make hotdogs, but ended up experimenting and making Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce brats instead. I was looking for cut up frozen beef, and found 3 kg of cut up chicken thighs and saved skin and breasts instead. Hot smoking on pellet grill now, holding 165 in smoke setting for...

    Quick cooked Landjaeger, 1 day instead of 6 weeks

    I will add, the quick drying at 135f in smoker did make the texture initially harder on outside. However, after 1 week in vacuum packs in fridge, when I cut one open the moisture had all equalized and softened the outside, so it's texture was much closer to fermented and dry-cured stuff I've...

    1st Lockhart-style sausage

    Looks great! I do use the Bull flour, it gives a great bind and lets you get up to higher BBQ level temps, 200-225f, without losing fat really. Mitchlich Spice in Spokane sells it, but suuuper expensive... and so easy to make, no reason to buy. Here it is: equal parts flour from Wheat ( I use...

    Quick cooked Landjaeger, 1 day instead of 6 weeks

    I read all the threads that come up here using Search for Landjaeger, but they either are the authentic fermented and dry-cured, or the fact it is cooked and dried instead is kind of skipped over. I could not find a cooked version, where the fact of replacing the authentic ferment and...

    Jimmy Dean regular Premium Pork sausage, breakfast clone by Dave in AZ

    @jkc64 I had to order it from Balchem Industries as an Llc to get a sample pack through a rep. There smallest order is uusually 100 lbs I think. However, you can get a mix of ELA, ECA, and trehalose, called "Smooth Acid Blend", through Walton's (who I talked into carrying it), or Spokane...

    Jimmy Dean regular Premium Pork sausage, breakfast clone by Dave in AZ

    Thx! I have some threads here or at meatgistics on deciphering and replicating the Taylor Pork Roll. I went at it starting from the ingredients labels on 5 different pork rolls, plus a few tasting videos, and eating it myself for flavors. Dont think I've been to len poli site, though I do see...

    Jimmy Dean regular Premium Pork sausage, breakfast clone by Dave in AZ

    Like Kieth says above. I like a bit of water because it lets me quickly and evenly spread spices when premixed into water, so I don't have to mix too long and over-extract. The water also lets me get a decent amount of protein extraction for that sausage texture, quickly, angain without too...

    Glad you enjoyed! I recently was down to an actual nutmeg, and scraped my knuckles grating that thing too! And also ended up using part mace, for decent results ;)

    Texas Hot Links

    @Kvgsqtii nice writeup and pics, thx! Sorry to hear about the thing breaking, most all of those KA grinders are weak cheap pot metal. Only one I would buy is the stainless one from Smokehousechef.com. Glad it worked out to an upgrade though! ;)
