    what am i doing wrong, issues with texture

    My cooking method is basically what Brican said. I just gently fried them in a pan until they were brown and delicious looking. None of them split, although there was quite a bit of fat that rendered out anyway. I probably did cook them too long, but i like to cook the snot of of bangers til...

    what am i doing wrong, issues with texture

    thinking back i may had always used the medium plate where as lately ive been using fine.  Breadcrumbs are an ingredient for the style, all banger recipes should have them. the beef had a little fat and the pork was normal 20%. Then the extra lb fat put me at least in the 25%or more, could that...

    Anyone else here doing non-fermented semi-dry sausages?

    From what i have learned, the more airflow the better. It helps by getting rid of excess moisture easier which is the main goal in dried sausage. My last attempt took almost 3 weeks and it was in a low airflow area with a humidity somewhere around 60-70%. As long as your using cure #2 then the...

    Need advice on choosing casings

    I just use dry salt pack hog casings. They sell them in the stores around me and i put them in a baggie in the meat drawer of my fridge. Been doing this for years now and the only reason i tossed any was because thier cheap enough to just get more if your old ones have been around for too long...

    Dont do this

    OH GOD THE NIGHTMARES! Seriously that final pic looks exactly like my one and only disasterous attempt at summer sausage. I think i had a bad temp probe though because by the time it reached the proper internal temp i could feel the liquid fat in the casing. Like yours there was no saving it...

    Anyone else here doing non-fermented semi-dry sausages?

    First off  Nepas is your best source of info here on drying sausage. Second, i think your over complicating it. Humans have been making dry sausage for millenia and doing it whatever way they could figure out. I have made a few attempts at exactly what i believe your describing. In fact if im...
