    The Nitrate/Nitrite Cancer Scare Destroyed.

    This is why i don't watch youtube videos to listen to someone. When i read i can skim the whole thing in a minute and know is worth watching or not. This video is not worth watching. The dr is ignorant or he's trying to push something. How do you otherwise explain that, in a 14min video about...

    Pulled Lamb Shoulder

    That's most likely from the plum or pear brandy not the lamb. Ha ha. Nevertheless please share your cold smoked lamb recipe.

    Costellos and tenderloins ready for smoke...

    Awesome display of meats, wine and gear. No wonder you need firearms to protect them. :-) Do you have a humidifier in the cold room or only measuring RH? Prosciutto willbe hanging for a while but the ribs and tenders will be ready soon. Looking forward to pics when dried.

    Salmon recalled in 23 states because of danger of botulism poisoning UPDATE

    No need to throw the baby out with the bath water. There is no botulism contamination reported, only botulism contamination risk...big difference. A commercial operation has rules to abide by - thus the recall. From what i've seen a lot of folks here use less than 3.5% salt in their cold smoked...

    Duck prosciutto....

    Bacon bits...i know what those are....they are not bacon but they are just as good. What's the better half's impression about the prosciutto?

    Duck prosciutto....

    This new format sucks...took me a few seconds to figure how to type the reply on my phone. Sorry buddy...can't help you...not a "spice fan" when it comes to dried meats. Especially whole muscle. The rich duck meat taste, concentrated in flavour due to drying, softened by that layer of fat. Who...

    Double Olive Bread

    Looks so rustic. Like it. Clearly "less is more" does not apply to olives.

    Anybody cooking this weekend ?

    That is mighty cold. Almost the temperature when landlords in Florida turn on the heat (60). Stay safe brother. :-). Up here we still enjoy drive-with-windows-rollled-down weather.

    Embarrassing Question

    That makes no sense. What's to weaken? Pasteurized products have no preservatives, the pasteurization process killed organisms and spores. Thats what preserves them. Also botulism toxin, if it were present (is not) is inactivated at the temps OP is cooking. Botulism is the scare everyone...

    Fermented/Dried sausage question

    Definitely not in the dehydrator- you want slow drying. I dont have a drying chamber - drying meats sausages in my cold room. Is not ideal but it works. Works well for thin sausages, on large cuts of meat here is some case hardening. Garage would work...One think you can do to minimize case...

    Boursin - or Boursin-like Spread

    There is more to the difference between boursin and creamcheese than crumbliness and price. Nevertheless herbs/garlic cream cheese is great. We can get it in stores here. Not available in your area?
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
