    Has anyone seen one of these DIY cold smoke generators?

    Got a steampunk vibe, LOL.

    Wouldn't use galvanized for anything to do with food.

    Tallow

    Thanks so much, slavikborisov, for starting up this thread. Anyone looking for raw fat, call up the local independent butchers (you may have to dig around, these guys don't need to advertise). I've found the same conundrum at the chain grocers--used to be they'd sell meat with a little too much...

    Salt cured pork video

    Sure, flies are always a turnoff. Biltong and carne seca are coated in some kind of acid to combat this. Then there's the salt, the sunlight, and a dry climate that will make it inhospitable to bugs and other creatures (birds?) in short order. If you like, pasteurize the end product in an oven...

    Easy No Casing Dry Sausage/Saucisson

    By now there's a clear difference in size. These must smell great, BGKY. Beautiful too. (If this is a Thanksgiving dinner contribution, it'll be hard to beat. 😀)

    Just ran across this, a demo of how to make carne seca: Now that has to be good. 👍

    Dad grew up in Eastern Kansas and loved to return there every year to hunt pheasant. Always a good trip.

    Easy No Casing Dry Sausage/Saucisson

    Looks great. And doesn't seem to have lost much weight, but that could be the photo, right?

    Hello from San Jose, CA

    Hello from NW Minnesota. Many helpful members on this site and a treasure chest of genuine recipes. Looking forward to the day I smoke my first bacon.

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    They can be a struggle, but worth it, I think. There was a time when one of us (I'd have to change the name to protect the guilty) decided on a set of 'non-stick' cookware--I've never used a more misnamed thing in my life. And it PEELED all the time. Nope. Grew up on cast iron--Mom still has...

    Do you refrigerate potatoes?

    Bacon grease is worth saving. (We try to use up every scrap of meat and bone that passes our threshold.) Is it possible to can it?

    Do you refrigerate potatoes?

    Thanks for the thought--I'll ask around my Filipino friends, this didn't occur to me until now. As for keeping potatoes, the moment they come out of the ground you're trying to delay the inevitable. Lot of potato growers in my neck of the woods, and in the spring when they open the...

    Do you refrigerate potatoes?

    Well, then they certainly must. When you live in a hot climate, in a house mostly open to the elements, and keep the day's supply of cooked rice in a covered vessel, of course it's going to ferment. Fermented rice is very tasty, BTW. I've used sourdough starter for this.

    Finally! Soft rye bread for sandwiches.

    Thanks for the tips--potato is a great activator for sourdough. That's quite a rise and a really beautiful interior, kelbro. Ever hear of 'Saldskaaba Maize', a Latvian Sourdough Rye Bread? Sourdough, fresh apple cider, and rye. (I have to make this one myself some day, it sounds so good.)

    Finally! Soft rye bread for sandwiches.

    With rye, though, a no-knead version might crumble. 🤔

    Do you refrigerate potatoes?

    'Experts'. Responsible for many of the diseases plaguing us. Thanks for the helpful tips, much appreciated. I read years ago that Indonesians do not eat unfermented rice--can anyone verify this? It makes sense to me.
