    choosing a stuffer opinions wanted

    I got the 5lb stuffer from Academy Sports (Game Winner brand) for $99 and have been very pleased. It's nothing fancy or flashy but is solid and dependable. Has a stainless steel canister and all steel gears. Only plastic parts are the stuffing horns (1-9/16" base) and nut. I know it was on sale...

    Natural Casing Help

    Thanks for your response Dave. Are there any recommendations for a vinegar to water ratio as I flush out the casings? I want to kill any potential bacteria, but I don't want to go overboard and deteriorate the casings.

    Natural Casing Help

    Hey guys I need some wisdom from those of you who have stored natural casings. Back in the middle of March, a little over two months ago, I got some hog casing from Waltons and made some different sausages. I left the unused casings in a plastic bucket submerged in water and added two cups or...

    Help, Cilantro Chicken Sausage

    Thanks for your suggestions Chef JJ. I looked up the green chorizo and it does sound good but that might be too "new" for the rest of my household. Might have to try some for myself another time. Scarbelly's mango jalapeno recipe has caught my attention. The use of mango (or any fruit) in...

    Help, Cilantro Chicken Sausage

    Hey guys I need some help from you to make up a recipe. We got three bunches of cilantro form bountiful baskets this week and I got to thinking how I could use it in a fresh sausage. My initial thoughts are to make a fresh chicken sausage for grilling. Not sure if I want to go in a Thia...

    Cure Question

    I am not trying to be rude here but just noticed some math errors that are easy to make. I only pointed out the errors because you asked in your question. I would hate for someone to get confused and use to much or to little cure resulting in a dangerous product. I cannot guarantee that 7.5tsp...

    Farmer Johns Cold Smoked Sausage question
