redzed,

I will take a picture of the linguica on my cell phone and upload it at home since my charger is at home. It looks nice to see but when you slice it is bone dry - the fat oozed out. Reminds me of the old adage, " Do not judge the book by its cover."

Did the fat literally ooze out of the sausage or did it just seem dry?

Bob K,


Morning Bob,

Both happened - the fat kind of melted away and dripped off and it was dry. Also my Chef cooked it in the commercial convection oven at 400 deg F for 5 minutes. I already ordered on Amazon the 18 hour one cold smoke generator. I will try with that and see what happens next. I do not give up just learning through my mistakes. I wish someone is generous out there to give an excellent linguica recipe out that is tried and tested. I hope someone does Bob. Thank you and take care, Edna
