    Jalapeno hot dog?

    I used 10% on summer sausage Interesting I was just about to ask about that! The japs in my summersausage are crisp. Not sure why. They also taste almost like pickled jalapenos, I suspect the eca did that but not sure

    Eye of round

    Actually I use my beer brewing Equiptment. Has a temp controller and recirculating pump. So works the same. If I ever have a bag break open I may rethink it. But pbw should clean it fine.

    Metal scraps in Kingsford common?

    Hmmm. That looks awesome. I can thicken the juices via starch clean the food with borax fumes and cure it with nitrates all in one fell swoop. Whoever said they were getting RO at lowes,must not be like my area lowes. You want Kingsford go to Lowes. You want Royal Oak go to Menards.

    Summer sausage issue

    Im gonna follow nepas advice next go round. Had to be from touching the edge in sous vide. The jalapenos are different than ever had before. Maybe to big? They have a bit of a crunch to them. They almost taste pickled but were fresh. Could the eca be whats giving the peppers a pickled taste ?
