    Pastrami from store bought corned beef

    I've done the corned beef to pastrami thing a couple of times. In my experience, the cut of brisket is stringy and too fatty for me. I've done a small whole brisket before and won't make pastrami any other way now.

    Baked potato hash browns?

    I use a Kitchenaid stand mixer with the shredder attachment. I'll catch the threads of potatoes in a clean dish cloth, then gather the towel up at the corners and begin twisting the towel over the sink to squeeze the water out of the potatoes. When you can't get anymore water out, open the...

    Vacmaster 350

    When you get wet stuff you have two choices. Well, maybe three. One: put a layer of paper towel inside across the bag just below where the seal will be. It'll catch whatever moisture there is first. Second: Put the item in the freezer to chill it firm. Then vacuum it like normal. Third: Buy...

    Help. Looking at a chamber sealer

    I seriously looked at this model, but passed on it as I couldn't find too much info about it online. I had experience with the Vacmaster 320 as I had one previously.

    VacMaster Pro 360

    I've had the 360 for over a year and a half. It does require pressure on the lid at first, but when the sound changes after a few seconds, you can turn loose of the lid. I've had the seals replaced twice but we do quite a bit of bacon every month (200-250 lbs) so it gets quite the workout. We've...

    Chamber Vacuum Sealer Recommendation???????

    I'm using a Vacmaster 320 chamber sealer. Pricey but with a 16x20 chamber I can seal pretty much anything I'll encounter. And from owning one previously their customer service is excellent
