    Another Batch of Canadian Bacon

    That slicer looks pretty much like mine except mine has the Deni name on it . QVC was having some sort of special on them at the time . I think it might have been ol' Ron P that posted the link . I'm thinking he or someone on here didn't care for theirs but I really like mine . I don't use mine...

    Another Batch of Canadian Bacon

    I was thinking the same thing . It def. looks like something is seriously wrong with that . I've made canadian bacon from pork loin about 50 times and never had any look like that . Makes me think no curing agent was in the brine ??? Wouldn't the meat spoil or would just the salt in the brine (...

    Selling cooked meat to a vendor??

    Yeah , I knew of that one but the one I'm thinking of now was recently , maybe in the last 2 or 3 months . I thought it was an elderly lady and she claimed the lid was not secure . I know when ever I handle hot stuff I try to be very careful .    On a side note , I worked at Mcd's for a couple...

    Selling cooked meat to a vendor??

    In Kalamazoo , MI there is , I don't know what to call it , a commercial kitchen . It's a place where people that want to prepare food items to sell can make their stuff . That way people just getting started or don't want to invest in their own place to prepare their items make what ever there...

    looks like stores are starting to stock for the spring /summer season

    I hadn't checked my local Meijer store in a few weeks but yesterday I found they have got quite a bit of their spring grilling type stuff stocked . The thing that caught my eye , and I think iit's new , were some new types of Western wood chips . They had peach wood chips and orange wood chips ...

    Masterbuilt question

    it probably isn't the wiring to the element , then. Not trying to be a smart aleck , but are you sure the outlet has power to it ? I'd just plug something in to each outlet that you are using to make sure each outlet is getting power . There are probably threads on here about MES totally dead...

    Masterbuilt question

    I think we need more info as to what it does do and / or what it's not doing . After you plug it in does the display light ? if you press set temp are you able to set a temp ? Same with the time setting ? If you can do all that then does the red light illuminate indicating power has been sent to...

    Smoking a Turkey this weekend, here's my plan so far.

    you may want to get some oxiclean type powder that is fragrance free . I buy the stuff at family dollar I think they call it oxiwhite or something . It's the stuff you add a scoop to the washing machine . The name brand stuff sometimes has blue crystals or colored crystals added for fragrance ...

    Smoking a Turkey this weekend, here's my plan so far.

    Maybe others will post their thoughts on the cooking temps . When I do my whole turkeys I brine them for about 24 hours , just make sure the brine is always below 40 degrees and I cook them in my MES at 274 degrees ( as high as my temp setting goes ) . I know there has been talk in the past as...

    Another Michigan smoker

    Always on a lookout for the Michigan folks . I'm in Paw Paw (about 64 mile marker on I94 ) . I had to google to locate hudson and what do you know ... I got my MES at the cabellas in Dundee . My aunt uncle and cousins lived in Deerfield ( not Dearborn ) . They were always going to Adrian or...

    MES30 on clearance at HD

    I don't see that listed on their website . I wonder if it's something that was misplaced in the building or maybe back behind other items ?? Still would be a heck of a buy .

    My First Bratwurst

    They do look great . Here's my problems with store bought lately . I had some a couple nights ago and they just didn't taste right to the point I couldn't eat them . The same thing happened a couple months ago with a brand new to my local grocery store . I've also tried some from a local...

    Newbie needs Jerky Making help (General)

    I would just get some hi mountain seasonings jerky cure & seasoning kit . That's all I've been using for years and everyone always tells me the same thing after they eat the stuff I make with it , either the ground beef snack sticks or whole muscle beef jerky , " you should sell this stuff ! " ...

    Another way to make casingless beef snack sticks

    That's how I make mine but I only make about a pound or so . When I make them quite spicy I call them atomic cat turds . The only problem is I usually eat all of them as soon as they're done .

    Bad Ribs

    that happened to me with some baby backs (kind of ) . I bought 4 racks , each was in it's own cryovac , and they were the natural type with no added this and that's . I believe they are normally 9.99 lb and the meat guy was marking them down to 2.99 lb because he said he got a new shipment and...

    Monday Baby Backs

    I just bought 3 racks that were marked down . They had them out yesterday but were marking them down as they restocked . He said if they don't mark them down they won't sell because people look at the dates and usually buy the 'freshest" ones . I threw 2 of them up in the freezer , the other I...

    Kind of strange , my friend is Mexican , his parents immigrated into Texas from Mexico as Migrant workers about 65 years ago and eventually came to Michigan and set up their permanent residence . Anyway , we went to South Bend , Indiana a couple nights ago and on the way there was a dead possum...

    Need recomendations for a good meat slicer under $100

    I've got a Deni that looks just like that Nesco . Perhaps they're the same with different name ? I really like mine but don't use it all that much . Some people seem not to like them but when I slice pork loin that I've made into canadian bacon , I can do a whole loin as fast as I can go without...

    my pulled pork always ends up being sliced pork.

    I'll see if others will agree . I'd say a pretty good way to tell if it's ready and you don't need to rely on your thermometer is just tug at the bone a little bit . When it's ready the bone will be fairly easy to remove when pulling on it . At that point though I find usually when I go to...
