I never cook store bought ground rare anything, if I grind something I am not worried about it, I like to grind brisket and make patty's then freeze, cook from frozen works well. You can also cook steaks from frozen which is great for somebody who loves rare, wife see's pink she's done lol...

Looks great, brother inlaw in Tx got me hooked on those, he cut a cactus into thin strips after peeling, wrapped it up with the shrimp, really good for something different.

I use a cheap SS stock pot to shred/mix meat, not plastic to scrape off and easy to clean, I have a 20-25lbs mixer with a hand crank but rarely use it, if I was doing large batches it is the best way for me. A kitchen aid mixer with the paddle works well for small batches.

Plastic glass stainless steel, also pottery might work and is the original pot lol, 1 of the first things I remember reading about brines and cures was the caution to not use stuff that reacts to salt/acids. not a fan of plastic other than bags, micro plastic contamination makes me wonder these...

No shame to use a therm, looks great from here.

Well I have been known to fix stuff but at almost 65 I am not sure how many more repairs I have left in me, wife will know who to call if I am gone.

Been meaning to to make some for 20 years, finally got around to it lol

Waiting on some cooler weather to site in a 350 Legend upper I bought for my AR, now Tn is going to let folks on private property shoot 350L during the 2nd week of muzzle loader, I am definitely against it, to many people are to lazy to load and clean muzzle loaders that they bribed enough...

Looks great, got a pork loin in a brine and looking forward to smoking it later this coming week, not sure why I haven’t done it before as its super simple with pops brine.

Been running a whirlpool branded for 10+ years, run a sediment filter on all incoming water then into the softener. We run 6 bags a year through it maybe with just the 2 of us these days. it protects anything that uses water, when I first started repairing fridges ice makers were the biggest...

Looks absolutely beautiful
