Hi there,
this might end up being a silly question but I gotta ask!
Usually when I make the sausages I never cure the fat. I cure pork meat for 1-2 days depending what i'm going to use it for.

Well it looks like we've been doing it wrong all this time. :? :shock:

I made my first run of frankfurters this past weekend. I was very excited and looking forward to putting the bowl cutter through its paces. I read all that I could and was really aware of how my meat batter needed to remain really cold and when emulsified that I had an upper limit on my temp or...

Hello, I'm looking to make this recipe: It calls for 800g of Wheat Gluten and also 50g of Vital Wheat Gluten. What is the difference between these 2 high protein Gluten powders?? I have used Vital Wheat Gluten, is the Wheat Gluten the same product?? Thank you in advance for any help!

I have an almost full drying chamber, 5kgs of Reds Salame Calabrese going into fermentation as well as 6kgs of cooked pepperoni going into the smoker. I’m celebrating with a tasty Reuben sandwich from the corned beef that finished last nite. What am I going to do when I can’t “work from home”...
