finally broke down and did pizzas completely from scratch. sure is nice to have time for a change to do it from beginning to end in one sitting. saturday i made some italian sausage out of chicken thighs after discovering i was lacking spices for brats. used that sunday on pizza. 1 out of 2...
i do the same thing here. use chicken thighs on the bone for most of my sausages. debone em doing a sloppy job leaving meat on bone. no effort to get all off. bones and 1/2 of skins from pack go into bag in freezer. when we get enough, marinade bones with whatever we decide on for that snack...
you nailed it man. those look great.
anchoring is a great thing with these. my frame stays clamped the table. wife keeps fussin at me to drill the darn table and bolt it down. she's tired of hitting the clamps.
use to think the same for years, never liked it. got married though.
ain't tried smoking tofu, but wife is Philipino, she immigrated here about 7.5 years ago. I've taken a liking to it in recent years. Wife can knock my socks off with it. Give it a try this way, cast iron skillet, BACON GREASE...
WOW are you in for a whole new experience man. it makes stuffing so much easier. ended up with italian burgers, didn't have all spices for brats. just did a patty instead of stuffing. we didn't feel like getting casings out. threw some sliced onions in skillet with pattys while cookin.
sheep casings can be cantankerous lil mothers. i've found a oiled up stuffer tube helps, also, crank stuffer till the meat just begins to come out the end of tube, that also helps puttin casings on. getting the casing opened up is my biggest issue with my gorilla fingers. i've yet to figure that...
go for it man, sittin in kitchen cooking up some fresh kraut and have ckicken in freezer hardening up gettin ready for grinder. gonna have bratburgers tonite.

i've owned several slicers over the years. after being disgusted with each and every one of them, i just watched craigs list and searched it using search tempest to find one. took me 2-3 weeks to find one, but eventually found a prehistoric (60s/early 70s vintage) berkel deli slicer. cost me...

Martin's gotcha sum good readin in that thread along with a calculator.
I have recently ventured into collagen casings and after using them now, figured i'd give snack sticks a go. rather than try 10 different recipes and not liking them, i was wondering if anybody has a recipe that tastes like a slim jim brand snack stick? the girls and I all love SJ's. not a fan...
