First post

I have a few questions concerning prep. cooking and food safety.

First the instructions. I took these from Redzed’s great Kielbasa Grillowa:

- Made in the traditional Polish way, it is only partially cooked and needs to be fully cooked on the grill. Sausage prepared this way is moist and better...

Last post

Preheat your smoker to 70C, let it cool, and load your sausage into it. Open top and bottom dampers wide and warm sausage at 42C for one hour. Smoke at 55-58C until you achieve a good colour, 2 to 3 hours.

First you dry the sausage, so it can absorb the smoke, then you slowly bring it up to temp....

I made some smoked salami a couple days ago using the recipe below. I only used .2% Dextrose and .1% table sugar. I 'cold' smoked the salami for 3 hours right after I stuffed it but it was a hot summer day so was about 100 degrees in the smoker, then I let the salami ferment in the kitchen at 75...

Update on the Salami mold. It's filling out really well given it was smoked.

Hygrometers just don't react quickly enough to keep a tight range of humidity. You have to think of the chamber being like a home oven,
The temperature you set is an average temp, the actual oven will vary + - 15 - 20 degrees. Right now just make sure your controls are functioning properly...your...

I’m back after a 4 year hiatus but still defeated in my salami hobby. I’m going to give it another try, but I just ask- for salami, what is the preferred culture ? I see a safe pro flc and more options these days but when I did make salami I never got the funk always a very acidic one. I followed...

Here's a book by the Marianskis that has lots of recipes indexed alphabetically, and by type and country of origin.

Pretty much the same (or similar) recipes are on-line here:

high fat beef sausage

First post

I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Looking to use excess fat from beef trim in sausages, or as a ground product for frying with. My initial thought for sausage would be an all beef nduja style or maybe an emulsified product. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Last post

Likely an emulsified sausage would use some up. Maybe a dry salami with larger fat chunks. I don’t hardly ever make sausage from beef as I usually use wild game and pork so can’t help you too much.

Ed was a fairly regular poster last year but it's been a long time since I've seen anything. It was nice to see another Albertan here. Hopefully he's just busy making sausage and meat and not posting.
Cheers all.

Great to hear that! Maybe he'll visit us here once he finds some spare time.
