Remember that burning wood creates considerable water vapor. The relative humidity at 19°F is always very low and when that air is heated to 50°F it is desert dry.

I guess that would depend on how fatty the belly is, but it's so close to 100% that you might as well call it pork butter. :o It sounds eminently spreadable -- and delicious.

I was rummaging around on my spice shelf and uncovered 2 bags of Morton's Sugar Cure. They're unopened and I'm assuming still good. I'm at a loss as to why I purchased them, and was wondering what this product is used for. Could it be for a dry cured pork belly for bacon per chance?

Yes, regular Morton's Sugar Cure is interchangeable with Tender Quick. Sugar Cure has just a tiny bit more sugar, <1% dextrose.
Morton's Smoke-Flavored Sugar Cure is a very different product (with nitrate, no nitrite) which is only intended for dry-curing.

Is there a best speed number to put your kitchen aid mixer on while grinder meat for sausage?
Last post
From the manual......
Cut food into small strips or pieces
and feed them into hopper. Meat
should be cut into long narrow strips.
Turn mixer to Speed 4 and feed food
into hopper using food pusher. Never
put your fingers in the hopper.

Question about Soy Protein

First post
I'm using the KB recipe for breakfast sausage but will be making meat patties so will use soy protein as a binder. Marianski says to use 2% of meat weight and not to exceed 3%. The meat I am using is very lean so I will be adding about 15% back fat. My question is whether or not I include the...
Last post
Hi Shuswap, Add no more than 2% of the total meat and fat mixture. And that does not mean that you have to even add the full 2%. If you haven't noticed by now, I am not a fan of soy protein. I do you use it on occasion, especially in granular form as a replacement for bread crumbs, since are...

Snakeoil... the FSIS says pork is safe at 160°F. It is safe from trichinae spiralis at 137°F. The extra heat insures protection from several other pathogens including listeria.

Crumbling, Dry, Hamburgers? Try Hip Shot Burgers

A thought came to mind that a label inside the package would be completely durable.
That is what I do. I just use excel and print out as many as I need. They work out very good, it beats writing on the bag.

I am a hunter, and always utilize every ounce of meat from my animals.
In the past, I have made (many times) fresh, patty-style breakfast sausage, from a commercial, pre-packaged, non-curing seasoning mix.
As my skill at hunting has increased, I find myself with more meat!!
I don't want to make...
Last post
I think I had this sausage last winter in Jackson MS. If it is the same one I would say the spices lean towards the Cajun spice blends and it was heavily smoked, much more smoke than any mass produced sausage I have ever had. I used it to make a pot of jambalaya and everyone like it.

Oldman,
Believe this old geezer, an aquarium pump works extremely well.
If you decide to buy one, get a model with 3 air velocity buttons.
I have owned such set up for years will no problems at all.
Email me if you need more info.
Cheers,

Will these serve me well for measuring before and after pH for fermenting meats? If not, what do you suggest? BTW, I'm not looking at buying a digital pH meter either.
