Does anyone have any hints or tricks for this? I tried using lime juice once for a recipe but predictably it ended up mealy. I've tried using lemon extract but it seems to give a weird consistency to the sausage. Twice now I've used extract and the meat didn't behave like it usually does. It was...

Hi there,
this might end up being a silly question but I gotta ask!

Ah yes, let me explain first, I live in Thailand, when I order pork cuts like shoulder or ham, they come...

Cure #2 0.240%
Dextrose 0.300%
Pepper 0.300%
Paprika 0.400%

I don't want to use any binding agents if I can avoid it. A supplier near...

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”...
