1001 Greatest Sausage Recipes

It gives me a great deal of pleasure to announce that on August 28, 2022, a new book was published: 1001 Greatest Sausage Recipes by Stanley Marianski. The idea of writing the 1001 Greatest Sausage Recipes was conceived 20 years ago, but it was not simple to bring this project to fruition. In 2016 t...

venitus Those are the maximum allowable amounts. It is up to you how much you will add. For example, if you add 2% (20 g) peklosol to 1 kg of meat you will get 120 ppm of sodium nitrite. Adding 3% (30 g) will give you 180 ppm. To get 625 ppm in 1 kg of meat using peklosol you will need to add 104 g ...

In this case you can increase the amount of cure#1 and still be OK. The reason so little cure #1 was recommended is that about 50% of bacon is fat, and sodium nitrite will not react with fat as the latter does not contain myoglobin. As you know the combination of myoglobin and sodium nitrite gives u...

I am also surprised at the suggestions that the book uses volumes instead of weights. There are 172 recipes and ALL of them list ingredients in grams. Then, in the right column, there is the US equivalent measure which is listed in pounds, cups, teaspoons, Tablespoons, ounces, quarts, pints and what...

Hi Oxide, I weigh everything on a little CD digital scale like the one that so popular with drug dealers. It is inexpensive and highly accurate, up to 0.01g. This emulsion combination is a great stuff, though I prefer 1:4:5 better: 10 g soy protein isolate, 40 g vegetable oil, 50 g water. 1. Mix in ...

Smoke Generators - Venturi Type

We have been experimenting with venturi smoke generators and found them reliable and working well. A new section Smoke Generators has been added to our site. We hope you will find the information useful. http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/smokehouse-plans/smokehouse-smoke-generator http://www.wedlinydomow...

Rand Yes, old timers were drying fermented sausages in basements, but....they had done it many times. And they placed wet towels on basement windows and water filled pans on the floor. In some locations sausages turned out fine and the guy became a hero. In other places sausages were never right. It...

Daveduvet, Spanish chorizo is a dry sausage so it requires more time. The USA FDA permits 156 ppm of sodium nitrite in regular sausages, but it allows up to 625 ppm of sodium nitrite in dry products. Even if you double up the regular dose, there will be no cure left inside the sausage after a month....

Smokehouse Heating Systems and Burners

At the time we had written our book Meat Smoking and Smokehouse Design, there were hardly any pipe burners around. We drew some illustrations and we basically speculated how a pipe burner could be manufactured. That was in 2006. Since 2008, Tejas Smokers, the American company located in Texas, produ...

Pemmican is a wonderful snack bar which is easy to make, lasts almost indefinitely, and has a very high nutritional value. It is pure energy, as simple as that.

Is Polish Cold Smoked Sausage a Salami?

One does not associate cold smoked products with traditionally made salamis, but sometimes there is not much difference. Take for example Polish Cold Smoked Sausage (Polska Kielbasa Wedzona). Sausage is hung for a few days at low temperatures which helps in curing and removes some moisture. It also ...
