It will work if adding a small amount of frozen fat to the meat as you grind, but grinding all the fat together in a continues grind, will make the fat smear sure as heck. I have done it both ways and prefer to add the small diced fat to the ground meat.

Jalapeno eggs: (I'm going to double this)

Holy smokes, not only will you create natural gas, butt you will create a flame with it

Benjamin You sound like my kinda person, I too long for the meat smoking and curing. I was born in Germany several ago and usually go back for a visit every 2 or 3 years. I really like walking around the beer gardens and visiting the delis that sell smoked meats and fresh bread. Welcome aboard and v...

Checkerfred Hello all, maybe I can add my 2 cents here. Right off the bat I will say, definitely freeze the fat, keep it cold! Try and dice the fat into small tiny cubes or pieces, and then put back into the freezer keeping the fat seperate while grinding the game meat. Then you fold the fat into th...

Never had any problem but all my children were born naked for some reason

Naked really, like with no cloths?? Hmm strange!

Yeah I really like the slicer, works well. The prosciutto has a good flavor. I did learn a few things on this run that I will carry over on to the next one. Thanks..

Nice job!

My kids go gaga over BigGuys fresh spinach / feta chicken sausages! Go figure you try to get them to eat their veggies when they are young and one day I`m thinking I will whip up a batch of BG`s chick`n feta with spinach sausage and the kids go nuts over it!

Hey all So here is the 22lbs ham turned to an "American Prosciutto" that I started back in late February, total cure time was 3 months. Today I couldn`t take it any longer, so here it is! Turned out pretty darn good stuff.. :razz: Wally Whole prosciutto before the slice. http://i1220.photobucket.com...

Eightysix When I make a fresh sausage using any lean game meat: 1. I will use a ratio of 50% game meat with 20% pork and 30 pork fat. 2. Typically I will add ¼ - 1/3 cup of liquid to every 2.5lbs of meat, example water, beef, chicken or veggie stock. A splash of water will help out with the d...

Wow pretty high tech bud, now bring on the salami's

I dont see why not, with bone removed the one I made was at 6 lbs. Create half the recipe at 4lbs. Keep in mind the bone weight, if you remove the bone.

Here is a German recipe translated to English. The preperation sounds a little goofy, but I think you get the idea. Heck I might give it a try, sounds good. I actually had these in Austria, we cooked them on the grill and drank zipfer Austian beer. Man I miss that! Ingredients for portions ½ ...
