    Second Thermopro Temp Spike XR failed

    When I received my first TempSpike XR with the dedicated rf receiver and 1,000' rf booster both probes were dead and the receiver they are stored in but the booster was fully charged so pressing the receiver button it wouldn't turn on. Same with my second one. After charging the receiver and...

    Sous Vide Times???

    Some SV steaks and report that too long can make the result mushy. I haven't been to that duration of mushiness when I pasteurize. May be table 5.1 in the Baldwin online book. The heating chart is shape and temp and duration. The pasteurization chart is thickness in mm, temp of water bath...

    Sous Vide Times???

    That would be with the heating chart. I go by the pasteurization chart that is just a little longer in duration without texture issues. If I SV it'll be pasteurized, not just heated to the doneness.

    The cheese was the same in 61615 in my area @ $1.79 and showed as clipped when I clipped it in TX. My 61615 has pork butts that appears unrestricted at $1.49/lb. for those not in TX, LA or OK.

    The coupon says TX, LA and OK. Great deal. I would have jumped on it if it wasn't restricted. I did download the $1.79 cheese and still need to go through my local digital coupons. Usually if people refer a zip code I'll shop all coupons and download what I want since I'm already there to...

    I believe Pop's had a basic sage sausage 11oz seasoning. 1oz powdered sage, 2oz ground black pepper and 8oz kosher salt. 1/2oz of this blend per lb of ground pork sausage that makes 22lbs of sage breakfast sausage. I'd probably break it down so I didn't have so much seasoning and to tweek it...

    Awesome rib eye

    I saw the 313 and it threw me off. The rest 130-135F is right on. I have done steaks in the pics above but just grill Steaks for the most part. I do Baldwin's 48 hour at 131 or 132F. I just did a chuck roast last week and my 88 year old dad loves these poor man's Prime ribs with reverse...

    Awesome rib eye

    No big deal but either pronunciation is fine. In the USA we changed the French pronunciation Vide (veed) to sounding (V.) In France the D is spoken. I just stuck with the French pronunciation. The French phrase sous vide is pronounced "sue-veed". The "s" is silent, so it's pronounced as if...

    My Smoker Died! Is my Meat Safe?

    I agree with Sous Vide and that's why you quickly cool in the ice water per baldwin to inhbit the three spore forming bacteria that make , That's why in air smoking plus 203 IT the toxin is denatureed when you search it. This open air not Sous Vide forum.

    My Smoker Died! Is my Meat Safe?

    This is one of eight pinned sticky threads at the top of the Food Safety forum that I refer people to read because it's probably the most asked question and if they read this original post it clears everything up fast and the majority 90%+ needs to keep cooking. Even the Botulism Neurotoxin is a...

    ⚡️60%OFF for INKBIRD FOOD VACUUM SEALER(US ONLY)

    I usually go online like Amazon and go through the reviews if you have that option or search reviews on that model and make sure it's not the manufacturer's site. The more numbers the better to review. Also, people will give a review a week after they have used it once but then edit their...

    Is the Akorn a worthy purchase/upgrade if I already have a Gravity 1050?

    I'm not sure which gravity smoker/grill you have but if it's a fan stoked fire breathing dragon like the masterbuilt series you'll need a pallet of fuel per year to feed the thing. In post #14 above I like the versatility of the Akorn and different standard grates you can find at box stores to...

    First time Ham and excess pink salt #1

    156ppm x 907gms (or whatever meat weight)/ .0295 / 1,000,000 = 4.79gms to get 156ppm 4.79gms cure x .0295 x 1,000,000 / 907 gms (or whatever meat weight) = 155.79ppm

    First time Ham and excess pink salt #1

    Curing salt #1 is 6.25% nitrite not nitrate as you mentioned so are you sure your package is 12% nitrate as you have stated? Regardless, if I put the wrong curing salt on, other than cure #1 at .25% the weight of the meat, I'm not going to do the math to try to make it right. If you used too...

    If you have fried wiring from the bottom PCB to the heating element junction box it's time to abandon the oem controller and bypass all Mes electronics. Pics are needed.

    Soil for peppers

    This thread reminded me to get a new Harvest Aerogarden water pump. Amazon is way cheaper At $15.00 plus 10 filters that lasts years unless you do an extended grow season over a year. I use distilled water that is perfectly fine easy clean up and 8 ml of liquid Aerogarden fert during...

    Soil for peppers

    Yes, I cut a couple thin slits in the bottom edge of the solo dirt cups with sissors and put it in another solo for drainage or in a square solo cup to keep it higher for drainage. I start with this in mini solo shot glasses doubled when germinating many plants to save space vs a tray and use...
