Mark I see now that the number are per 100 grams. So 800 mg sodium per 100 grams would indicate about 2 grams of salt per 100 grams so about 20 grams of salt per kilo. about 2%

I stepped in my smokehouse today for a few minutes and when I left my clothes smelt quite smokey in spite of the fact the smokehouse has not been used in a week. This got me to thinking if it would be possible to cold smoke some cheese in the house without even lighting a fire only relying on the...

Pulled the cheese out this morning and YES it works like a charm. I've put it in a bag and am going to let it sit in the fridge for a day to let the flavors equalize. BTW - I think one day is plenty of time.

Common German Casings Replies: 1

I'm trying to figure out what are the long thin casings I see used mostly by Germans. In Germany, they seemed to be quite common. Here in Chicago, I've only had them at German festivals as Bratwurst or Currywurst. Sometime advertised as meter long sausage.
Similar to this.
Would that be 20-22...

This questions has probably been asked before, but I would appreciate some help. Every time I smoke my sausage, I get white spots on the end products. I making sure the sausage is good and dry before I start applying smoke.

A picture would say a lot. Could it be that your sausages are touching each other, this causes a white spot as the smoke doesn't colour that area .

Are Juniper Berries just Juniper Berries when used for seasoning? And if pick from the plant do they need to be dried before using?
Thanks

Well Tom, if it was indeed a juniper berry that you bit into, it appears you have an allergy to them. What did the medical professionals conclude? I bet it wasn't Take two gins-and-tonics and call me in the morning.

Good point on the plexi glass, food grade or not I agree who knows what might leech out of it when near boiling.
There is a good size maple tree that has been standing dead for a few years with the syrup trees out back, just might have to saw it up after we finish putting the taps in this week.

Hi y'all,
I have a copy of Ruhlman's Charcuterie which uses Instacure #1 or #2 in various recipes, and I trying to sort out how to deal with this stuff, as where I live (the Netherlands), curing salts appear to be sold differently. Here we have Coloroso , which is white and contains 0.6% sodium...
Last post
From what I've learned, it appears nitr a te salts are regulated in Holland and only available for industrial use . Hence a #2 equivalent is not readily available.
From what it appears, some people here just use Coloroso salt (nitrite only) for everything, cures long and short.
This was explained...

Split it in two portions
Consider also making a lunch meat like mortadella, using one of NorCal Kid's recipes. Easy, and you get quick results.
I second that suggestion :lol:

Hello All,
Need some advice on roasting a boneless raw ham - 10.8 lbs.
Brine? If so, using what ratio of salt/cure ?
A rub? if so, what recipe - pre-packaged?
I took the hock off - it looks like a large basketball all tied up.
It has been frozen 14 days at -15 F. (so, no trich.)
Thank you,...

Chipotle peppers are simply smoked jalapenos and chili powder is a mixture of several spices. and I am always suspicious of sea salt because nobody will say where in the world the sea was.

Hi
I made some bear pepperoni sticks with 20mm collagen casings. I smoked them till 150 f internal temp, took about 6 hrs. They tasted great but the casings were a bit on the chewy side. Is that normal for these casings? It was the first time I used them.
