Just wondering if it would help to cover the exposed area with bacon or softened lard to slow the dehydration process and avoid the drying of it too fast. Thanks.

My brother and his friend have made and are drying 3 prosciutto hams. The guy drying them is using a dehumidifier to help the drying. I told them that seems like a bad idea, as IMHO, time is needed in order to produce a proper product and not force it. Any input from you would be greatly appreciated...

I'm in the same predicament. Amazon has a lot. I'm leaning toward American Weigh brand. Very good reviews and cheap, almost too cheap. Can anyone recommend a good brand or price range. Thanks.

I use it in my jerky. 1 tsp per 5 lbs of meat. Anymore and it's over powering. I tried several brands and like the Sausage Makers the best. Good luck.

Amen.

CW, you'll truly be missed. Your explanations based on scientific facts, not old wives tale have saved many of us from extended stays in hospitals or worst.

Let the mix sit for at least one month, stirring occasional. Got reviews from, are you nuts, to pretty ...

Sam's sells a lobster and shrimp ravioli the Mrs. enjoys.. We make it with Alfredo sauce. Very tasty. Only thing I'd change, is add more stuffing.

Love to see you've got the kids involved, as that's a dying art. Most kids now think meat comes from supermarkets.

What works for us, is this year the Mrs. crimped the edges with a fork. Out of the 300 they made, only had about 5 blowouts or flat tires as I call them. Types we make, prune, farmers cheese, sauerkraut with mushrooms, apple. Her aunt makes them for sale and says potato are the preferred ones with h...

Yeah, Ross. That's the one we bought. Guy told me it was more to ship than the cost to purchase it. Thanks.

Ours was same design but square. Good eats. Enjoy.

Rick, we bought one from Vancouver, Canada several years ago. The Mrs. loves it and is very happy with it. This past Christmas, they did 300.
