I pulled them out of the SV at 152*f. then outside in the 20* air to cool off for a bit. Then hung at room temp for 1 hr and in the fridge. I'll cut them tomorrow.
I know this subject has been beat to death on this forum but I have to ask. I'm going to finish my batch of sausage in an S.V. for the first time. Can I just go by the FSIS log tables and finish it at say 152-158*f, in the S.V. and be fine at that?
Great!! let us know how it turns out. I use non fat dry milk at 2% for a binder. I also us an Auber P.I.D. temp. control as the temperature is critical, especially at the top end of 185*f. At that temperature we are very close to fat-out, even with a binder.
Here is , in my opinion, a good example of why I use a binder in my sausages. This is some Kabanosy I pulled from the smoker tonight.
I course ground the pork fat and fine ground the pork while stuffing in sheep casings. I started my smoker at 125*f and ramped up 15*f every hour until I hit a...

Interesting, none of these page in my book,(Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages) mention NFDM. Must be a different publishing date. Spice proportion is on pp219. In my index there is only one mention of non fat dry milk on pp23. It states "It may be further enhanced by lightly...
Dave,
Thanks for clarifying and great information! I use NFDM on most all of my sausages for reasons you have mentioned, to help shore up fat-out (it's nice to not have any fat drippings on the bottom of my smoker) and improve texture/flavor characteristics. I haven't used any other types of...
Hey Dave, thanks for the information. I normally use around 2% NFDM that I get from the grocery store. You mentioned to use 1%, am I overdoing it? I'm just wondering if I can get the same results and use less product?
Thanks for the post,
Bill
