    Need some Jerky advice

    Thanks for the information daveomak! I have been searching online for different jerky recipes, and almost none of them recommend using curing salt. I was under the impression that having the meat soak overnight in a salty marinade would help kill the pathogens. Check out this video of a guy...

    Need some Jerky advice

    So I think you got me convinced to use curing salt, as Al says, why risk it? So does anyone want to share a good jerky recipe I can try using an eye of the round roast?

    Need some Jerky advice

    I have used cure #1 many times, bacon, pork tenderloin, turkey and chicken. All with great results. But I find many people are still uneasy about consuming cured meats, and many say it is not necessary when smoking jerky, providing you cook it to a temperature of 160 degrees. So my main...

    Need some Jerky advice

    I am ready to attempt making some smoked jerky for the first time. I will be using a Eye of the Round Roast, and am considering doing one half with a cure (Prague Powder #1) and the other half without, so I can do an honest side by side comparison, and see whether using the cure helps the...

    Sous Vide Egg Bites

    Freezing the egg bites is an excellent idea, and you can do it while they are still in the canning jars, as they are freezer safe. The only thing is that I would put them in the fridge the night before I wanted to eat them, so they could defrost a bit. Putting jars right from the freezer into...

    Sous Vide Egg Bites

    Those egg bites look wonderful. Did they taste as good as they look? I love the fact that you experimented with the recipe, as it is always nice to add your own flair to a dish. My wife loved these so much that today she is also going to give them a shot, mixing pieces of smoked ham, grilled...

    Sous Vide Egg Bites

    Nothing to be sorry about. You asked a legitimate question. Many people who are completely unfamiliar with cooking Sous Vide do not understand how it works. It took a bit for me to figure it out as well, since it is completely different from any other cooking method, and can achieve things...

    Sous Vide Egg Bites

    I believe if you tried to cook these completely in the oven you would definitely over cook them, and they would become hard and rubbery. Cooking them Sous Vide absolutely cooks them perfectly without risking overcooking them. The oven is only for melting some cheese on top, which is completely...

    Sous Vide Egg Bites

    So a few friends of mine have been telling me about these Sous Vide Egg Bites that they are selling at Starbucks, and tell me I should try to make them, as they are delicious, and at Starbucks they cost around $5 for a couple of them. I had no idea what they were, so off I went to try them...

    Mini-Cheesecakes a la Sous Vide

    I think I might have to try yet another one of your recipes Bear. I also am going to try to make those Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites, as I have had several friends tell me they are quite popular, and are causing a lot of people to invest in a sous vide cooker. Thanks for another great recipe...

    Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers Sous Vide Style

    When cooking burgers the traditional way on the grill, it sometimes is difficult to gauge doneness. Many times you are left with a burger that is still partially raw and under cooked, or over cooked, where it has lost all its flavor and juiciness. Cooking it Sous Vide solves that problem, as...

    Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers Sous Vide Style

    No need for a sealer for this recipe. I used Ziplock Freezer bags, and they work fine.
