No livers for me. They are very popular here in the south. Always deep fried. Like @DougE it's a texture thing for me. Now gizzards are another story. I'll go out of my way for fresh fried gizzards. Absolutely love them. Chewy crunchy delicious.
Several years ago we came out to Wyoming for a...
It helps a lot. Thanks for all the detailed info @tallbm
When you inject a turkey how long do you usually let sit in the cure. That's the part I wonder about.
I've always dry cured bacons ect. Been spatchcocking turkeys with good results but read about wet curing and I'm interested. I understand meat plus water weigh for salt and cure measurements but I'm curious how long it should be in the brine. Is injecting the brine needed?
I've been thinking about ditching my plastic boards for a while but I can't mentally get past the sanitation with wood. How do you handle making sure cross contamination isn't an issue with the wood boards?
I bought an electric knife sharpener a few years ago that looks exactly like yours. It's called a trizor. Probably the same one. It works great. Really quick and easy. I love that thing!
I think I'm gonna do the exact same thing tomorrow. Just happen to have a Frick's carver ham in the fridge and I've never tried that. Thanks for the idea @RickNessly
The Restaurant Depots around here only carry skin on.
US Foods Chef Store web site show skinless but the closest one to me is 2.5 hour drive. Their web site says that the are opening a location down near Atlanta soon that will be only 45 minutes away. Looking forward to seeing that one.
Same here.
If you have a BJ's around the ones here in GA carry skinless bellies but they are cut in half. Not what I prefer but better than skin on. It will get us by this year. Twice as much repetition weighing, bagging, and getting the cure rubbed on but less work than skinning then doing the...
We make a LOT of bacon this time of year for our own supply and to give friends and family around Christmas. Usually 6-8 bellies.
It's getting time for us to start the process so I stopped by Costco for some bellies today. Much to my surprise they were all skin on. And the price is still...
Looks nice and juicy. How was it? What kind if rub did you use?
My favorite part of the loin is that sirloin end with the dark meat. Makes the best bacon as well!
