Dick, I always disregard the amount of cure specified in any recipe, and calculate it for myself. I've seen too many cases where the printed recipe has a typo, or the amount of cure is just flat wrong. In the case of old recipes that call for pure saltpeter, I reformulate for salt and cure #1 or cur...

I would talk to the meat associate (butcher) and make sure it came from certified pork... While I certainly agree with asking about additives, especially if it isn't properly labeled, I am curious about this bit. Is there some reason, besides trichinellosis concerns, that the fat needs to be from c...

Re: Adding veggies to a sausage mince
...The resut was a lot of small pieces of carrot in the test patty. The taste was pleasing and I think that when next I make some sausage I may grate a carrot or two and add it to the mix. Has anyone done this or heard tell of it? I've used it in pot-sticker filling and to make an asian-style sausa...

[USA] Tom's Venison Sausage
Back in the summer of 2008, a friend asked if I would make up some venison sausage for a party, if he provided the venison. He gave me enough venison and pork to make sausage for 35 for his backyard party. After that, I was out on the west coast for most of a year on a contract. It must have been me...

Have to use local butchers that you've found reputable. Sam's has injected stuff in seafood, etc. I also don't buy anything from the Far East, as it's very polluted from the ponds they use to raise them. Buy American and you can trust the quality and purity. There are huge swaths of the country tha...

...This stuff has no taste and looks like pure backfat... but has nowhere near the calories or cholesterol... Does the protein isolate/oil emulsion remain solid at room temperature? Chilled, can it be cut? Can it be run through the grinder without breaking the emulsion? Heh. Guess I'll have to get ...

Jason, good luck with your inspections. DC bureaucrats can sure be a pain. I have some friends who live in NoVA and friends up off Eastern Ave., and I'll be bringing them in once you're open. CW, I didn't miss your point, which I think is very interesting and something I want to try, myself. If it w...

I have a friend who runs a sugar processing company. He tells me that Brown sugar is quite simply a blend of plain white sugar and molassas. About 10% for light brown and 15 % for dark brown. Worth knowing if you happen to be out. Good point. Domino and Holly use chemically-cracked fructose chains ...

USA]Tom's Memphis-style Finishing Sauce for Ribs and Chicken
This is a finishing/table sauce for ribs and chicken. If I couldn't get turbinado sugar, I would substitute a 50/50 blend of dark brown cane sugar and white cane sugar. As with any such sauce, while it can be made on the day you need it, the sauce does benefit from sitting a day or three before use....
