Look up Pop’s brine on this site. It’s foolproof. I use it all the time. It’s very basic and simple. I’ve modified it to my taste. I do not like salty hams. Pop’s calls for a full cup.
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup kosher salt
1 Tablespoon Cure #1
1 gallon very cold water

Wait! What is this meatball magic? I’m ready to be amazed and astounded. I’m in for the ride.
What is “all the meats”? Beef, pork, kangaroo? You never know on this site.
I’m out of my league here but my concern would be injecting like crazy around the bones like you would with a whole leg. I lost a beautiful fresh giant leg once to bone sour most likely because I didn’t inject enough. If you’re using an equalization brine then injecting it like crazy won’t...
Thanks, Robert. I do have leftovers but I’ve not had dinner yet tonight. We’ll see how hungry I am after my night swim. Two nights in a row might put me in a meat coma.
I use it more than my Yoder. I never thought that would happen. It’s just so easy. Using your hand to set the temp actually works. That magic dome lid turns it into a mini smoker.
And, yes, given my failure with brisket the short ribs are going to be on the menu a lot more. The collagen won me...
From a fellow 1/3 Norwegian in California, welcome to the forum. Thanks for registering. Your English is perfect, even better than some native speakers. We love pictures of all kinds and look forward to seeing some of your cooking projects.

Yeah, I think it’s interesting, creative wording. If you did find a new method containing no nitrates at all, you’d brag about it all over your bottle.
Here’s my totally subjective, I’ll-informed, non-scientific comment. I immediately ordered Ecocure after watching the video because I was curious. No agenda or strong opinions. I thought, I have no curing meat ego, I’ll give it a shot and report back.
I’ve never liked the smell of cure #1 or...
We’re about to do a DIY kitchen remodel. It’s been recommended by members of this forum that I consider getting a Blackstone. Other than helping out with large pancake breakfasts I have no experience with them.
I’m wondering if they can double as a stovetop? Can I put a pan or pot on it if...
Oh, wow. I can make blue smoke but I'm terrible at brisket. I do know how to make a lot of brisket chili, though. Thanks for the honor. I hope you know what you're doing. Haha!
