There will be a difference in the amount of moisture which will come down to a matter of preference. However, since this is a dry cured product, dry curing is the more standard method. And equilibrium curing is really the way to go. For one thing you cannot over salt or under salt, all you need to ...

That looks very good Chris! I read a few threads this morning at home at this one has been on mind mind to definitely try. One hurdle is I have never tried equilibrium curing and will have to read up on the curing method before attempting. Will there be a difference in finished product if I cure in ...

I made some a while back where some were tough and some were not. What I seem to remember is some of the casings looked thicker and had these warty pimply bumps on them. I don't know if anyone else has noticed these things and don't know if they have anything to do with it but next time I see this ...

At my end I am nowhere near as experienced as other members here, all I can share is how I smoke my sausage with pork casings. They do not have a tough casing. I soak casings overnight, the supplier says 30 minutes before stuffing and I never soak them for a short time as they recommend. After stuff...

Interesting topic because a long time ago I had to dig around for some information as well. The link to foodsafety.gov is very informative. Here at my end I vacpack and freeze within a week of curing and smoking, and after defrosting and opening I make sure it is consumed within 3 days. This would b...

I used Stan Marianski`s basic recipe and altered the meat to fat ratio because I prefer a Kabanosy with less fat. A long time ago I generated a spreadsheet where I can enter the meat weights and it automatically enters the spice ratios. This is the scaled down by weight recipe:- 3.25 lbs (1.5 kg) Le...

Thank you! Here below I posted 2 photos, I know Redzed asked for one with the Kabanosy snapped, also added one of it cut. It may be deceiving because these were frozen then defrosted, the casing is not as dry as was before freezing, and Redzed if you could please let me know how the snap looks? http...

Yesterday was already the trip back home to South Carolina. I will ask my daughter to take me a photo of one, at this point we...

Round #2 with my new smoker, this time I made a small batch of Kabanosy. The Amazin smoker now has an air pipe blowing air over the tray and it made a good difference. Then I had one step forward, one back; half way through the smoke time, the new smoker controller kept shutting off intermittently. ...

Those look totally tasty Redzed!

And I understand the amount of cleanup you had to go through. of all the sausages I have tried, Hot Dogs / Wieners / Franks are a lot of work. Once I used a food processor because I don't have a bowl cutter. It was very labor intensive!

If I had 2 slices of that divine looking bread on my plate, I would spread some Mettwurst on the first slice, the second with some Brie cheese.

Then sit back and go "hmmmmmm" :lol:
