Re: Alberta Ed you still around

Albertan here too. Been a long time since I’ve been on. Finished schooling, spent 2 years cutting retail in Calgary. Now doing cures, smoking and sausage full time for the Danish butcher shop here. Smoking 60 hams this weekend getting ready for Easter.

Re: School

I’m now 6 weeks into my program and it has (is) an education. Absolutely what I feel I am meant to be doing. The program focuses on whole carcass usage. The day starts with us cutting 2-4 cases of chicken between 14 of us. Then into groups to either cut beef or pork sides and bagged primals. Make fr...

Re: Starting School Sept 3 BUTCHERY

Re: Moist and Tender Jerky Experiment

Does it end up with more of a "kipered" texture? like a dried steak bite? Interested in this as I prefer mine to be a little on the chewy side.

Redzed. It was actually a trip to Victoria this summer that "pushed" me. My family went to Buchart Gardens and I went to Choux Choux Charcuterie, Whole Beast and another that I can't remember. Talking to the guys there convinced me that I can do it!

Thanks. This forum has been a huge part of my decision. I don't post much because I am learning and don't generally have allot to add to the conversations. I'm more of a sponge than hose. I will keep all posted!

I made this recipe / formula back in November for Christmas gifts.
It was such a hit with guests and friends my second batch is coming out in a week. The flavor was subtly sweet and the mace comes through at the finish.

THANK YOU!!

The vacuum sealing does quite a bit to remove case hardening, I do it to ALL my whole muscles for at least a week before slicing into them.

I just pulled 6 uncased tenderloins last week after 34 days at 48-50f and 80% down to 68% by the end. All had minor case hardening but seems to have been dealt with after vaccum sealing,
