    First time smoking cheese

    lol that would explain it - london is a totally different country to the rest of england. It's a dirty, smelly, over crowded with rude people, total craphole of a place. Weird that they don't tell you that in the tourist brochures eh ;-) bears about about as much resemblence to the rest of the...

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    Thanks. Any chance of a sticky ? ;-) the really annoying thing is while I was writing the posts the pictures appeared in the text. Once posted they went back to just links :-( Anyone know a way round that ? It looks way better with the pics in the post :-)

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    So what do we use the slices for ? Traditionally it's served with a cream of horseradish sauce, or on blinis with caviar. I love it chopped up and mixed into scrambled eggs just before the eggs are done. That way the salmon part cooks and adds a lovely smokey flavour to the dish. And then of...

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    After smoking for 5 hours remove the salmon from the smoker. You should notice it's now a lovely dark orange colour. So now you've got your smoked salmon, what do you do with it ? In england it's usually only sold as very thin slices. So you can slice and vacpac. I usually pack it into 4oz...

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    Quick detour. For those who can't work out how I keep the smoker so cold. Here's how. The bradley smoker has a removeable smoke generator. For cold smoking I use a modified cardboard box and a 4 inch diameter tumble dryer hose. The heating element in the smoker is not plugged in. There is no...

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    After 12 hours. Take the salmon out of the fridge. Pour off the liquid in the container. Wash the cure off the salmon and pat dry with kitchen towel. The fish should feel a lot firmer than it did last night - it also no longer smells fishy. You now need to leave the salmon somewhere cool and...

    British Cold Smoked Salmon - what the toffs eat ;-)

    Cold smoked salmon seems to be a europaen thing. It's very easy to make and really good to eat. SO here's the definitive 'How To' right from salmon fillet to Sandwich :-) There are a number of 'traditional' cure mixes for salmon. Most of them use way too much salt in my opinion and result in...

    Im forming a pellican???????????

    lol looks like good something. Not sure if it qualifies as bacon. Gammon maybe ? Do you have gammon in the states ? It looks just like the stuff you've got there ;-) For the record Cured salmon seems to form a decent pellican in about 2 hours in the fridge or a similiar cool place. Fridges...

    GOSM with a Smoke Pistol

    smoke pistol ? 1) what is it. 2) where's it come in to the equation. Can only see woodchips and charcoal in the pics. But then I have no idea what else I'm looking for ;-)

    question on dehydrator

    hmm you've got me thinking about dehydrators again. last time I looked the cheapest available over here was a couple of hundred pounds. Just had another quick look and this one caught my eye. Price isn't too extortionate (within good christmas present range anyway ;-) Anyone had any experience...

    German style Fattie & my first Q-view

    lmao - a giant french hotdog. Looks great and the sweetish dough would work great with the savoury filling. :-)

    How long for 1lb fatty?

    so far haven't had the smoker beyond 200. But seems to cook faster than charcoal smokers even at that temp. And yep pulled everything at 165 so far. 2-3 hours. I've been getting up to about 150 fairly quickly then lowering smoker temp so I get a longer cook. Fatties have been great. Haven't...

    Endless Butt Jokes [with Qview]

    yeah that maple galze is looking better each time I think about it lol. Why brine the salmon ? Salmon is a fatty and naturally moist fish. Personally I'd have just used the glaze. Still if it turned out great that's what counts ! No way would my dog get out of bed that early lol (or me come...

    Looking for recipe for sausage with chillis

    now that's more what I'm after :-) Might substitute dried apricots for the cherries - can't stand dried cherries :-) Should work just as well. Yeah we'll give that one a go. We can start with a pound and run it through the food processor. Keeps a firmer sausage for smoking anyway :-)...
