I just realized that this won't have any cure in it so I can test a piece before stuffing. So I will probably just cut the salt back to 1% , maybe even less, because the bacon will have salt and the Ranch Powder will also have salt. I can adjust from there when I cook a sample.
Worst case...
I already cut down on the salt because of the ranch powder, might have to bring it down even more hah.
Is the only negative side effect to too much salt that it just tastes too salty? It can't become unsafe right?
yeah good point, in my peabrain I thought of bacon as just another fat but it does have some protein in there. I haven't decided yet, I was just going to get some store bought standard bacon.
I imaged I was going to just grind it all into the sausage but I am also considering cooking some and...
Sounds good. This sausage will also have 10% Bacon in it so I am sure it will be fatty enough.
Yeah, I just have never used chicken thighs before so I am sure once I do it once I will be totally okay with estimated the fat % correctly. I just am hoping to get something usable first and go from...
I am still very very new to all of this so I am trying to figure out what to do myself. I am kind of combining different recipes right now and going to give it a shot this weekend.
Do you just freeze the chicken skin and grind it as if it were fat? Would you use all the skin that comes with...
This guys video looks good but my concern is that bacon that he cooks prior to mixing it in the farce. Would that not puncture the casing possibly? Or be super hard when I cook it again at the end bringing the sausage up to temp?
Sorry guys I forgot to take pictures but this brisket turned out significantly moister in the flat than my previous temperatures. I ran the temps off of the flat area as you suggested tallbm and it worked well. This was my first prime brisket so I am not sure how much of that is just the meat...
This is my first prime I have ever done and what you just said is coming true hah. It finished probably an hour earlier than I anticipated. Now I have no idea how to keep this thing warm for 4 hours as a result. I poured boiling water into my cooler to warm it up, dumped it out, and now have it...
So I am in the middle of a brisket smoke right now and have some concerns. I started a thread a few weeks ago (linked below) and was advised to use my temp probes in the flat instead of the point of the brisket. I was told that the point will always cook faster than the flat because of the fat...
Yes! You have helped me an absolute ton.
My only issue with doing a longer 'naked' brisket is that I just have a weber 22' and I think that would require me to remove the brisket entirely from the grill and reload a snake before carrying on the cooking. I may have to rely the Texas Crutch for...
Gotcha, I may try to bump up my temperature before wrapping a little this time anyways but not enough to drastically alter anything. Moving forward I will be messing with different variables. I will be getting a thermometer with 4 probes this time two will be aimed where you directed and two in...
I really appreciate all that information. And that does seem probable. I do have a couple questions however... Would cooking the brisket to all my temperature targets based off the middle of the flats temperature overcook the point? Or does it have enough fat to protect itself? I have a get...
So I have been trying my hand at the Americas test kitchen brisket recipe for a while. I will link below. I think it turns out really well but my only complaint is that my flat can occasionally turn out dry and there is slightly less bark than I would like. I am wondering if this is just because...
