Re: How NOT to make hotdogs
I also learned the hard way when I first got my "5kg" Chinese chopper. There is no way it will handle 5kg. So what I do now is add the spices to the cubed meat and fat and grind though the 3mm plate and then chop/emulsify in 2.5kg batches. I add finely crushed ice and take the temp as up to 12C whic...

Re: Kiełbasa Taty - Dad's Sausage
Wonderful story. I’m honoured to give it an attempt. You won't be disappointed Ed, keep in mind it's the process that is so much important than the spices. To add to that story...... One of my "customers" happens to be yours Dad's. He had often gone to your Dad's place, throughout the year for saus...

Re: Bowl Cutter
They are not that easy to find. My Chinese cutter is not working right now and there is no one on the Island that can fix it.

Re: Pizza pepperoni
When making a a fermented dried salami type sausage, reputable meat science publications state that the minimum amount of salt (total of salt and curing salt) is 2.5%. However, Eric's recipe is a cooked, semi-dry sausage so you could safely use a lot less, even 1.5% will do. I also would smoke it fi...
