    Prague Powder #1

    Okay, here's how an immersion brine is checked for ingoing nitrite (it's important to remember that only a portion of the cure is absorbed into the meat.) Weight of the Nitrite x Percentage of Brine Pick-Up x 1,000,000 ÷ Total Weight of the Brine = PPM Nitrite 14 ounces of cure #1...that's 397...

    If you can tell me exactly what you used in the brine (that's dissoluble)...I can answer your questions. 14 ounces of cure #1 and 3 gallons of water...correct? 2-1/4 cups of brown sugar? No other salt...correct?

    Sorry, but that's not the correct way to calculate an immersion brine with 10% pick-up and we need to know ALL the ingredients (and their weights) that went into the brine.

    To rinse or not to rinse, that is the question!

    Most chickens aren't completely cleaned. I remove any pin and "hair" feathers along with the kidneys...I never cook a chicken with the kidneys still in place. Then I RINSE...and I don't give a rat's rump what anybody thinks of it. =Martin=

    Pastrami sausage? Anyone tried this?

    Yeah, That's Warren Anderson's recipe. Just slightly different than the recipe in his book because of the use of that Bradley Cure stuff. When I made pastrami sausage, I went about it much the same as with Krakowska...with some bigger chunks of meat. Pastrami spices of choice and mustard...

    Christmas came by UPS today!! Foamheart

    Yep, plates aren't always compatible. You'll find that not only can the center hole be off, but sometimes the knives from one manufacturer won't fully cover the holes in a plate from another manufacturer. I got my 3/4" plates from the SausageMaker.
