Fine Kosher salt?
Thanks for the chart. I did a comparison weigh on my digital scale and got similar results with the three salts I have on hand to try. Generic iodized table salt 75.5 gr per 1/4 cup Morton Canning & Pickling - 75.0 gr per 1/4 cup Diamond Crystal Kosher - 46.5 gr per 1/4 cup So, If I use 6... -
Fine Kosher salt?
I just bought a 13 oz box of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt just so I would not need to try to convert volume measurement from the 3 Tbsp per 5 lb. the original recipe calls for. Lo & behold, after opening the box, I discover it looks like regular table salt or canning salt. So, other than Kosher... -
Beef hot links?
Thanks for that advice. Speaking of Kielbasa... I love the Kielbasa I made last week. I'm considering taking that recipe, using 80/20 ground beef, and adding cayenne & paprika to make a 'hot kielbasa.' -

Beef hot links?
I used the search engine before posting. I'll admit that I did not read every single post in every thread, but a scan of top thread titles leads me to believe that everyone uses pork in their hot links. If there's a beef hot link recipe in there somewhere, it eludes me. -
Beef hot links?
I love hot links! (doesn't everyone?) But I'm having a hard time finding a beef hot link recipe. Nothing against pork, but I crave a beef hot link. A couple of weeks ago I made spicy beef snack sticks using this recipe: http://chopandbrew.com/recipes/spicy-beef-stick-snack-stick-recipe/ I... -
New grinder plate poorly sharpened.
Yes, it's the knife side that was rough and slightly concave. I haven't used the plate yet, and may work on it some more to get all of the grinding marks polished out and get it completely flat. I looked at photos of the other size TSM #10/12 plates w/hub and they all show those grinder...- gearloose

New grinder plate poorly sharpened.
I went to the website to leave a review and happened to notice that the grinding marks I mentioned are visible in the product photo, so that answers my question about whether or not mine is typical. The grinder marks visible on the hub side of the plate in this photo are identical to those on...- gearloose

New grinder plate poorly sharpened.
I just received a new 3/4" (20mm) grinder plate from TSM. The thing looked like it was sharpened by holding it up to a belt sander & spinning it. I held it up against a machinist square and it had a definite dish shape in the cutting face. Well, after almost an hour working it with wet &...- gearloose

Kielbasa - Fersh garlic vs. Granulated question
Kielbasa is done! Based on first taste samples, two heaping tablespoons of granulated garlic in a 10 lb. batch is definitely not too much garlic for my tastes. In fact, next batch, I'm tempted to go three Tbsp. -

Kielbasa - Fersh garlic vs. Granulated question
Well, here we go. I'm a garlic hound, so this 10 lb. batch of Kielbasa has two Tbsp of granulated garlic. The original Rytek Kutas recipe I used calls for two cloves of fresh garlic in 10 lb. of meat. -

Kielbasa - Fersh garlic vs. Granulated question
In my 1984 Revised Edition of Rytek Kutas' book, his recipe for Kielbasa uses fresh garlic cloves. I've seen other Kielbasa recipes that use granulated garlic. What are the pros & cons of fresh vs. granulated? If I do not want to use fresh, what's a good substitution ratio of granulated to... -

Kabanosy-Polish snack stick
All ground up and ready to stuff. I used a 1/4" hole plate and my results look danged close to marcinct's video. I fried up a test patty...YUM! This would make a pretty good bulk sausage! Unrelated side note: I forgot how danged heavy that grinder is - or maybe it's just that I'm 10...
