    Citric Acid Question

    No, not usually. Plain citric acid lowers the pH of the meat, denatures the proteins and raises heck with the binding of the sausage...which leads to a crumbly sausage. Encapsulated citric acid was developed to avoid that problem...the acid isn't released until after the bind phase, when the...

    Bacon cure salt conc - Which USDA rec? - and what's with Ruhlman's rec?

    120ppm to 156ppm nitrite is fine. There's no good reason to use as much as Ruhlman/Polcyn suggest....even 200ppm is more than enough for short-term curing. =Martin=

    UPDATE - Weber (the company...) rocks!!! RE: New WSM bent, need advice on if this is normal and how

    No! No! No! You don't have to live with that...don't try to fix it and don't assume that it's Weber's fault...it likely happened in shipping. If it was sold by Amazon (and not some who sell on Amazon) return and replacement is free. You need to get on the horn with Amazon, ASAP...ain't anybody...

    pickled eggs

    Commercial pickled eggs are produced at tight parameters that ensure safety. That's not something that can be safely done at home without a high-end pH meter to measure the equilibrium pH, etc. ~Martin

    pickled eggs

    There are several reasons....most importantly the eggs need to be kept refrigerated. Here's a good place to start...... http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/pickled_eggs.html ~Martin
