I bought a storage cabinet several years ago to store my stuff in, then bought another a month ago to store extra plastics, bowls, canned goods and baking racks in. The brown cabinet that I got several years ago I'd reinforced the top of it so I could put my slicer and stuffer on it. The white cabinet is not reinforced, but I store my #22 1 hp. Cabela's grinder in the corner of my kitchen counter (after getting approval from my wife). I reinforced the top of the older brown cabinet to hold...
I was born and brought up in a grocery/meat store, and my dad specialized in cured and smoked hams, bacons, shoulders, corned beef, pastrami, cured and smoked chickens and turkeys, etc. in Northern New York. He developed his own brine he brought from his dad's curing and smoking on the farm. Dad used a special cure he formulated with an ingredient company with less than a ⅓, just shy of a ¼ of the curing compound used by big manufacturers and fought, and won, a battle with State/Federal...
Since you have purchased another gas grill cook, the consequent most intelligent thing is to hit the shop and buy the least complex gas barbecues for grilling. You have looked for after the stores, the everyday papers, and even the close workplaces of Weber and Char-Broil among others, in any case while not plentiful of any outcome.Regardless of your sincere tries and a pool of outside cookery dialects, in spite of all that you haven't found the correct gas grill for you. What is terrible,...

Nothing fancy here. A 3lb corned beef brisket. Rubbed with brown sugar, sea salt, and black pepper, all over... and some traditional corned beef seasonings on top, including coriander and rosemary. Smoked it at 220 degrees for the first 3 hours, then 235 degrees for the remainder. Wrapped it in foil for the last 3 hours, after internal temp hit 169 degrees. Internal temp topped-out at 200 when I pulled it from the smoker. It was almost perfect. Tender, juicy, and delicious! Added a dipping...

I was born and raised in a family meat and grocery store, living above the store in a quiet country hamlet in way upstate NY - I say 'way' as many think 10 miles outside of NYC is 'upstate'; this was over 300 miles north of NYC. After WW II, Carl E. Fassett purchased a business in the center of Adams Center, NY, the former C.C. Williams Dry Goods and Grocery, 60 miles north of Syracuse, NY. It was 10 miles to the east of Lake Ontario and consistently had major blizzards there during the...

"What is the difference between hamburger and ground beef?" Hamburger meat is essentially the same as ground beef, which can contain meat and trimmings from any of the primal cuts. But there's a difference between the two. Ground beef can't have extra beef fat added to the mix, while hamburger can, as long as it doesn't contain more than 30 percent total fat. "What is the difference between ground beef and minced beef?" Ground beef, beef mince, minced beef, minced meat is a ground meat...

Great information by NEPAS: CURES - Cures are used in sausage products for color and flavor development as well as retarding the development of bacteria in the low temperature environment of smoked meats. Salt and sugar both cure meat by osmosis. In addition to drawing the water from the food, they dehydrate and kill the bacteria that make food spoil. In general, though, use of the word "cure" refers to processing the meat with either sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate. The primary and most...
