    What temp and how long for sous vide shredded elk roast?

    Definitely the way to go. I've done elk, moose, and venison. All with the pressure cooker. I love the SV for a lot of things, but wouldn't be my choice for pulled meat. One time I did pulled moose in a dutch oven. No different than making pulled beef, IMO. You won't be sad with the pressure cooker.

    Sausage stuffing - or how I got mad and threw a bunch of junk away.....

    Lol I need to wire the basement before I get anymore. We only have one circuit down there. She already agreed to a fridge in the broom closet and I'm putting one in the smoke shed when I get that wired 🤣

    Velveting Meat

    Yup. Pretty much the same as it does for strips. It gives it more of a "sausage-like" texture vs a drier lean ground meat texture is probably the best way I can describe it. It's quite nice, I highly recommend it.

    Pickled Garlic

    There's a booth at the local farmers market that sells spicy pickled garlic. I easily crush two jars a month. Love it.

    Sausage stuffing - or how I got mad and threw a bunch of junk away.....

    I'm already pushing it with the fiancé on how much room I take up in the fridge(s) for my sausage and curing adventures. :emoji_laughing:

    Sausage stuffing - or how I got mad and threw a bunch of junk away.....

    Maybe it's just where we get them from. Ours come in a salted vac pack, not a bucket, perhaps that's the difference? We've had some that we literally had to cut to get unbundled. I hydrate them for anywhere between 24-72 hours and they're always finicky to untangle. I can load them no problems...

    The loading isn't my issue, it's everything else.

    Sausage stuffing - or how I got mad and threw a bunch of junk away.....

    Less finnicky (they don't come in a tangled mess in the pack), easier to just soak just what I need, easier to repack if needed. You can still flush them. If the price difference was crazy I'd go with hanks, but for the extra couple bucks I'll stick with tubed. I also keep some collagen on...

    After using the tubed casings I will never go back to hanks.

    Velveting Meat

    I started doing that with ground beef for chili as well a few years back after seeing it on ATK.

    Pepperoni fried rice

    The gochu garu added a ton of heat, but it would also be good taking that out and using hot pepperoni instead

    Do you have a snack stick locker?

    I freaking love Lagavulin.

    Need beef ideas for a quick smoke.

    Trick is get some quick wins that don't take long to cook, plate with hearty dishes that take smoke flavor -smoked blue cheese burgers with potato puree -smoked meatloaf with malt vinegar fries -smoked minute steak with smashed potatoes -double smoked sausage

    Pepperoni fried rice

    Modified from Molly Baz 🥰 Fried pepperoni. Fried rice. Aioli with rose vinegar. Topped with scallions. Heaven. Gochu Garu instead of red pepper flakes.

    Shrimp Scampi over Angel Hair, Ratatouille, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (and really good wine)

    I love this forum because every post I see as a challenge. Members elevate members. Your ratatouille crushes the best I've ever made. I literally have never felt the need to make the Thomas Keller version until now.

    You had me at ratatouille, and that looks top notch. The wine took it to the next level.

    Best part of skiing just throw the mugs in a snow bank for a few minutes 🤣

    That actually gave me a reason to check it out! I can't do dubs.

    Ski lodge brats

    Panorama, so eastern side of BC. Not sure about Duffy's, that might be a Whistler thing, I haven't seen it here. Haha that one stings a bit. This was just a quick shot with the phone 🤣
