    Aging Capicola in Oil

    Aging Capicola in Oil

    Most of the members of our capicola group use this method for storing their cappies. The recommended oil is canola oil and the ideal resting time seems to be roughly 3 years. Most will rest the cappies in oil for at least 2 years as the temptation to not eat them is just too great! Several of...

    Christmas Prime Rib

    My first attempt at SV prime rib and it was a hit. Followed the temp and time advice from the boys at "Sous Vide Everything", 137 degrees for 6 hours. Then to a 500 degree oven for about 12 minutes. The meat (~5.5lbs, 2 bones) was coated with roasted garlic and a dusting of thyme, rosemary and...

    Sheep or collagen casing for snack sticks?

    I've tried a number of spice kits from Owens and have been happy with them all. Matter of fact, just got another order from them last week for summer sausage and sticks I'll be making this weekend.

    Sodium Erythorbate

    Thanks JimmyJ. I'm using it only to counter the possible oxidation when using cheese in the SS. Appreciate your insight!

    Sodium Erythorbate

    I know that SE acts as an accelerator for cure, so would there be any harm if I stuffed my SS casings on Friday, refrigerated overnight, and didn't smoke them until a day later? TY!

    Venison Curing Question

    My son is getting ready to smoke a 6lb clod of venison according to a ham recipe from Steve Rinella's book, "The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game". While this author has a great reputation and a solid history in this area, I can't get my head around the prep of the...

    Cooking for one or two. What do you do?

    I have the exact same issue. I prepare many foods which can be vac sealed and frozen. I will package single serving size portions and freeze them. Works well for her favorites too and is very convenient.
