    Makeshift Knife Sharpening Jig

    I'm new to the forum, so I wanted to show off my new "Home Made" knife sharpening system I put together. Technically, the jig is from my Tormek wet bench grinder that I use for my wood turning gouges, but I adapted it to reach an exact angle with my Shapton glass stones. I use a 17 degree...

    LEM #10 Manual Grinder Grommet/Cleaning Questions

    After reading the entire thread from Dirty Sailor... I will probably just add more water to my mix :emoji_laughing:... but on a serious note, I will contact them, but I don't think I have the wherewithal to deal with a sub par customer service if it came to that. As far as organic material...

    LEM #10 Manual Grinder Grommet/Cleaning Questions

    If the fit and finish on this piece of equipment is sub par, I will turn around and do best to return with shipping reimbursed! This is my first buy, so I certainly don't expect to have to put a finish on the product I bought. I thought that was par for course. Any recommendations if...

    LEM #10 Manual Grinder Grommet/Cleaning Questions

    It's weird like that... amazon wouldn't ship me an 8 oz or 16 oz of star san sanitizer, as they said it was hazardous material... but they would ship me the 4 oz size... lucky for me I have a homebrewing supply store not too far from work so I went and bought some... and I was also able to have...

    LEM #10 Manual Grinder Grommet/Cleaning Questions

    Yeah, about that food grade silicone... any idea where they carry it in brick and mortar stores? I tried to order some on amazon and it said it couldn't be shipped...maybe I need to order it from another store that is willing to ship? Something about compressed cylinders...

    LEM #10 Manual Grinder Grommet/Cleaning Questions

    I just recently bought and used an LEM #10 Manual Grinder as shown in the pictures below. I was wondering if anyone that has used it removes the plastic grommet shown in the pictures to clean the unit, and if so, how hard is it to remove. Does removing/putting back in wear the grommet where it...

    Chili Lime Garlic Pork Jerky

    I got a little side tracked today on my Longaniza making experiment, so I never got around to posting the product.... Right now it is in a brown paper bag balancing the moisture... maybe another day of that before it goes into the ziplock... I think I might have cut these a tad bit too thick, so...

    Chili Lime Garlic Pork Jerky

    Been doing some reading on the forum and there seemed to be an overwhelming appeal to trying pork jerky... so I happened by my food-4-less and found pork loin for $0.99 a lb, so figured, why not give it a shot! My dehydrator goes to 165 (my thermometer read 159, so not sure it gets to that...

    could use some advice

    If you want to continue making videos to post, investing in a camera stabilizer is a decent idea... it helps with the "blair witch project" feel of the videos...

    First good batch of Jerky

    Thank you for the recommendation. Perhaps I will give them a try, but the cooking artist in me likes reading recipes and thinking about ingredients and then trying to make something of a mishmash of them to meet the flavor profile I am looking for. I think my only go-to seasoning that I buy is...

    First good batch of Jerky

    I have read your comments on food safety over and over, and have called my mom for advice because she is a masters food preserver up in Roseburg, Oregon. She is more into canning than smoking or curing, so she always says that she doesn't know the answer, but that I should seek the answer from...

    This just in; we have unconfirmed reports that Tokyo is under attack By a fifty-foot man with a white face, a chicken bucket on his head, uh, carrying an enormous guitar! According to this report, whenever he plays a note, the sonic waves cause whole buildings to explode, streets to buckle and...

    First good batch of Jerky

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I have made several batches of jerky using the hi mountain packages I was given as a gift when I received my Nesco Dehydrator. All came out extremely salty, so I had to eat the evidence so nobody would find out how bad it was. I finally decided to buy some...
