First tme making wieners/hot dogs
Ok, I've never tackled hot dogs before, mainly because I had never bought a fine grinding plate and I didn't want to use a food processor to try to emulsify the meat. I solved that problem a couple of months ago when I bought a grinding plate with 1/8" holes. I've run 6 lb. of chuck and 4 lb... -
Why to make your own sausages
Ingredients control. Meat quality. Cost. Not to mention it's just plain old fun and very satisfying to make a product superior to what you can buy, often at half the cost. -

First use of new 15# Kitchener stuffer & a recipe
I looked at that gizmo on the LEM site, and watched their video. It certainly looks like a slick machine, but I doubt I'll ever be making up more than 10-12 bags at a time. That's really not much effort. I also look with longing and envy at that hand-cranked linking machine LEM has, but no... -
First use of new 15# Kitchener stuffer & a recipe
Just out of curiosity I bought a pkg. of Jimmy Dean Hot sausage from my local WalMart this afternoon, just so I could do a side-by-side comparison of the taste with my recipe. 1. The JD sausage is obviously a finer grind than mine. (1/4" plate) The cooked texture is completely different. Not... -

Jimmy Dean Sausage clone tests
Mixes are convenient, but you are paying good money for what is mainly salt. Mixing by hand is quick, and with a good gram scale, very easy & repeatable. -
I just ordered a 15 lb. stuffer!
The Kitchener stuffer arrived today. The stuffer looks great. The packaging sucks. (completely inadequate.) I posted some info and photos in the other thread that anyone contemplating getting stainless steel stuffing tubes may find useful: ...- gearloose

15 lb. Stuffer on Sale At Northern Tool
I received mine today - just barely. The stuffer was horribly mishandled somewhere along the way, and the box was badly beat up and taped everywhere to hold the rips together. I expected to find the stuffer can and/or the base bent up, but I was surprised to discover no damage to the...- gearloose

Sirloin bacon! Now with Q-View!
All done! I pulled these at 125 deg. instead of 135 deg. as originally planned. Being made from boneless sirloin roast, which is the bottom end of the loin, the taste & texture of this is very similar to Canadian Bacon. It is very lean.- gearloose
