Jimmy Dean Sausage clone tests
Today I made five pounds (half a recipe) of fresh breakfast sausage from Rytek Kutas' book, "Great Sausage Recipes..." I still had some of the Jimmy Dean clone recipe, so was able to do a side by side taste comparison. Both recipes make a damn good tasting sausage, but my better half and I... -
Sirloin bacon! Now with Q-View!
I started smoking the sirloin bacon this morning. This is what they look like after 4 hours in the smoke. I'll post more pics showing the finished smoked bacon and what the slices look like. I'm going to only process to an internal temp of 135 deg.- gearloose

I just ordered a 15 lb. stuffer!
Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, no Gander Mountain stores anywhere near me. :( The stuffer will arrive on the 18th, so I can get the calipers out and measure and verify that the 2-1/16" base tubes will work. just FYI: Smokehouse Chef (my link) and Butcher-Baker (your link) are the same...- gearloose

I just ordered a 15 lb. stuffer!
I've had a TSM 5 pounder for a lot of years and decided to move up to a 15 pound model. Northern Tool is getting my money (via their Kotula's store on Amazon) for one of their Kitchener brand models. (identical in appearance to a LEM #706, and I've read that the parts interchange.) I just got...- gearloose

Not my recipe. The three recipes I posted were from a website that specialized in copycat/clone recipes. -
Jimmy Dean Sausage clone tests
I've yet to find a clone recipe of anything that tasted exactly like the original it was supposed to copy, and I've tried a number of them. The good thing is, that when I started messing with sausage making again after a 10+ year absence, SWMBO was skeptical of the money I was spending on... -
Jimmy Dean Sausage clone tests
I made sausage & egg biscuit sandwiches this morning, using the hot sausage. The overnight rest in the fridge definitely improved the flavor, and it was already pretty tasty last night only 30 minutes after mixing. It has a nice heat bite without being overpowering. I would describe it as a... -
Jimmy Dean Sausage clone tests
Jimmy Dean is my favorite brand of supermarket sausage, so I went in search of clone recipes to try my hand at making my own. I found this set of three recipes from Top Secret Recipes posted by Todd Wilbur on FB: Jimmy Dean Sausage clone recipe This clone recipe re-creates three varieties of... -
food processors that will emulsify meat for hot dogs , etc.
Reading through this thread with interest. A point about buffalo choppers, having used one in the past: They are expensive, as someone mentioned. They are big & heavy, and they are a real PITA to clean. I can understand someone wanting to try to duplicate that smooth texture of their... -
Soy protein sausage binder shelf life?
How long does Soy protein sausage binder stay useable? I have a box of #762 Sausage Binder that is several years old. (can't even find anything called #762 Sausage Binder on a Google search now.) Yeah, I'm throwing this out, but when I get a replacement jar, what is the expected shelf life? ... -
Sirloin bacon! Now with Q-View!
Not by much! I'll pull mine out of the brine on the evening of the 15th or morning of the 16th and give them a good rinse, then allow some time to dry before going in the smoker on bacon hangers.- gearloose

Sirloin bacon! Now with Q-View!
I just put a little over 10 lb. of boneless pork sirloin roasts (4) in two gallons of my Canadian Bacon brine & put them in the bottom shelf of my refrigerator where they will remain for the next 10 days. The roasts were just a little over 2" thick, so I brine pumped them pretty thoroughly. I...- gearloose

Beer Can Chicken... OMG.
A couple of tips: (You may already know this, so please excuse me if I'm repeating common knowledge) Let the beer come to room temp before placing it in the rack. Even better, warm it in a pan of simmering water. The quicker the beer comes to temp, the quicker it will start steaming and the... -
