    Pork Neck Bones

    If you have a weak stomach, don't read further.  My Father used it for Czarnina, Duck blood soup, as a stock.  Much cheaper than Duck and that's how I got introduced to it.  Here in Buffalo, I go on Thursday morning and a butcher has piles of them, fresh cut, never frozen.  Have to agree for...

    Pork Neck Bones

    Try them as a base for soup stock.  Simmer them, add veggies, then remove meat to add in the soup.  Excellent.

    Digital thermometer

    Hi everyone.  I'm new to bread making and read, depending on the bread, internal temps should be at a certain temp.  The digital thermometer with probe I have doesn't cut it.  So, if anyone could recommend a good one, so I could insert the probe and monitor the inside temp, without constantly...

    Looking for pork belly suppliers...

    Here it is. In some areas, pork prices are at an all-time high of $3.83 a pound! Get ready for another spike in pork prices! Is anyone following the story of PED? It’s “Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea and it’s a viral infection we can’t cure. It’s highly contagious and scientists are baffled. No one...

    Looking for pork belly suppliers...

    Check oriental markets/ stores for them.  Pork has gone thru the roof.  I read on another site that there's a disease that is killing piglets and they don't have a cure for it at this time.  If I can locate it, I'll post it.

    Have to agree with Boyjko.  Without professional analysis, it could not even be related to the sausage sticks.

    Did you use Cure #1.  Without that, smoking them makes a perfect environment for botulism.

    How to handle natural casings

    I'm talking about farm raised seafood in raw sewage, things that last a short time, due to bad quality, etc.  Besides, I don't drink tea.  It's my money and I'll spend it where I want. I spend my money on American products whenever I can.  Sorry, if we disagree. BTW, did you watch the...

    Wild Goose breast

    I used to do them stuffed with apples and onion whole, than smoke at 225, wrapped in bacon for added fat and moisture.  My friend's son would have 1/2 done on ride home.

    First time smoking St. Louis style ribs

    Did you buy them as St. Louis, as on youtube there's videos showing how to trim them up yourself.  Save a few bucks that way.

    Jerky Question

    Have to agree with Dave.  Personally, I would never use pork for jerky, due to the fat content.  I've used 90/10 ground beef in a jerky gun.  Don't dehydrate it over 165, as than you're cooking, not dehydrating.  Over 170, the fat will melt out of your product.  Keep it at 165 and you'll be...
