Using binders when making sausage
Hey Mark that is not a fair comment! While I disagree with some of the formulations in Rytek's book, and the "americanization" of many traditional sausages, on the whole the book is a valuable treasure trove of information about sausage making. I have successfully created excellent products based on what Rytek suggested and I consider the book a go to resource. Sure, it is not without faults, but can you name me any other book on the subject that passes every test? So let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater, and approach it with an open mind.
I guess because I started this hobby with that book and was discouraged by the terrible sausage recipes,
if you follow them they taste worse than the crappiest rubbish in the store. I made his box cured bacon and smoked ribs and they were fine, one of the BIGGEST defects of the book is all volume measurements.
Good thing I found Poli's site and this one too.
The biggest reason I say firewood is if a newbie gets his hands on it they WILL be misguided.
