    My first bratwurst with Qview

    You can also cook on stove top in about 1/2 water. Simmer in water and brown them. Lot less grease then frying. But cooking should be low and slow. Especially with a low Fat recipe. To much heat and the fat what little there is will cook out and it will be dryer and more of a crumbly texture...

    Well starting My Ham! /pics

    Well time to put in the brine. Injected 10 percent into the ham first. Brine temp is 37.9 So into the pool you go! Don't forget to use a clean plate to weigh it down. Wouldn't want it to poke it's head above the brine. This is my new brining container. Big enough but height is just right...

    Well starting My Ham! /pics

    Well starting my Ham today. Decided I'd use Hab's Recipe to try this time. I had bought two about 16 lbs + after deboning and removing the fat and skin. Careful not to remove too much fat as thats where all the great pork flavor come from. This one comes out to 6lbs. Still alls good there...

    St. patty's day bbq

    Just had a thought too! If you would do a Leg of lamb or light meat and try food coloring and it didn't work. How about covering it in a green relish of sorts. Something a long the lines of green onions,green hot and sweet peppers,maybe shallots,celery you get the idea. Chop up or grind and...

    St. patty's day bbq

    Not sure if you brined it with some food coloring if it would help or not. We usually have a traditional dish on Patty's day considering Were Irish. Im actually a cross of Irish and Cherokee Indian. Let me tell you that's a bad combo! LOL Irish didn't eat corned beef as all believed. They...

    2nd try at hot dogs

    Thanks everyone. After my first attempt I am proud of these! LOL No didn't think to take any money pics. But I was pleased! After emulsifying the meat had a nice smooth texture not coarse like a sausage has. The Cheese remained in pockets all through it like I hoped. Next time maybe some...

    2nd try at hot dogs

    Nope! And that from the best I can figure was from poaching in 180 degree water. This causes all the fat to cook out of the meat and cause it to build up in the cases. forcing the meat into weird shapes. The recipe calls for 200 degrees and that's way to high. I stayed at 159-160 and all came...
