IMO- 1. over cooked during smoking or poaching 2. Mix the meat using a regular bread kneeding machine at low speed for 3-5min. -Added the ground fat (it didn't look as separate particles of fat after the grinding) which now looks as a paste) fat in not right stage - plus can be a lot of unsaturated ...

whole muscle salami recipes,

what is this?? it is salami OR whole muscles matured meats? You add sugar to salami for bacterial fermentation, but you do not need sugar for whole muscles staff (basically).

Could you share the Russian sausage recipe?

will do after polishing it a little. At this moment (in my own judgment) recipe is not ready yet to be published.

Few days ago i finally decided to make something special (just for fun). Artist sausage - outstanding taste (visible green spots - pistachios) - DSC_0586.JPG DSC_0587.JPG Milky Way sausage - there are 3 different minces in spiral configuration, center of "galactic as piece of pork loin, and "black h...

Personally i don't think so that you can find any strict Government regulations on salt amount. In production of fermented "salamis" as well as other meat products I'm using "common sense" and good practices. Underlaying scientific theory is that 2.5 % of salt (with nitrites) added to raw salamis is...

to use a meat slicer to shred cabbage until @scogar mentioned it,

Yup - it is good, but only when you use to shred 1or 2 or 3 heads, in my case doesn't work (200 Lb or 30+ heads ).

WOW - you're really busy with that good looking staff..

Welcome to the forum. I too love data- I come from a family of engineers. Ideal temperature is 53-59*F. For controlled drying humidity should lag sausage Aw by 0.2 - 0.5, 0.3 being average. When you add 2.5% salt to the meat, the Aw drops to about 0.97... this is the starting Aw. When the salami re...

in 8 grams of pepper powder there are 2.3 grams fructose and 2.7 grams of sucrose. hmmm - 62.5% of sugars? 60/8g powder = 7.5; 7.5 x 2.3g fructose = 17.25g fructose. 7.5 x 2.7g = 20.25g sucrose. can you check your math and info sources please? also - sucrose is disaccharide so if it is that high in...

Just addition to Chris explanation - Polish government was totally dependent on USSR (Poland also lost most of researchers, professors and scientists during WW II) so many recipes from these documents are duplicates or very similar to Soviet Union directives from 1930-ish. Also keep in mind that the...

I'm using 3 g/kg juniper berries crashed in mortar and pestle so in kielbasa visible are larger chunks of juniper. IMO - juniper is overwhelmed if overdosed so balanced with black and white peppers and garlic is my goal achieved in that kielbasa.

Just last few days and some pictures... I wont describe process or ingredients as I'm not participate in our big contest as sausage maker.... So - Kabanosy, Hunters (with juniper berries), Wiejska (or just regular kielbasa), and my own Noble Kielbasa ( lean, something between Ham Kielbasa and Lisiec...

I understood your confuse, what I'm saying is that in very specific dish like yours

fully cooked underneath a bed of sauerkraut

it is not worthwhile to do that long specific preparation. Sauerkraut is very specific "killer other tastes". Just IMHO.

The specifics of my situation are that I am making a Kasselerbraten...so it will be fully cooked underneath a bed of sauerkraut at a later date. so why you want use cold smoking in that case? The pork loin will be fully cooked anyway so why you want to make it more difficult to prepare that meat wi...

From mine point of view - Much better it will be when you keep lower temperature but higher humidity. High humidity in early stages of fermenting and then drying/maturing (especially in smaller diameter casings ) is to prevent a dry ring ( small diameter especially dangerous). Lower temps are only s...
