    How long can you brine corned beef nitrate/nitrite/saltpeter free without it going bad?

    Thank you alblancher. You are more patient than I. There is a modern desire to dumb down accepted nomenclature in all pursuits, as if it there were a conspiracy to exclude new people. This site is a paragon of open-armed help to the newly interested in smoking. I am a former advertising guy and...

    How long can you brine corned beef nitrate/nitrite/saltpeter free without it going bad?

    Whiskey tango foxtrot!  You want cured beef without a cure. You may as well want a sailboat without sails. Why do you want to make something that you don't want?

    Buying Rib Roast, then freezing it?

    Sorry guys, I am buying US beef (choice, I know) at $3.99/lb. The first go at this was a choice NY strip roast (cry-o-vac) that I wet aged for 30 days, steaked and froze last week. The meat smelled fine after that time and the juices were absorbed into the muscle. We'll see. Yesterday, I bought...

    Papaya brined Gamehens

    Smokey, thanks. I knew the papaya was a natural protein massager. Makes sense to me, what you have done. Thanks again.

    Vienna Frankfurters - Emulsified Sausage Tutorial - 12 Pics QView

    Great post. Remember, wieners come from Vienna and franks from Frankfort. Sort of like saying Virginia ham from Iowa.

    Is this normal?

    I don't think its bent. There is no deformation around its mountings. I think it was mounted upside-down and should be removed and remounted.

    How to make Cure??

    Sorry, but Morton's has a formula. It might not be as secret as Coke's, but it can be duplicated. To my knowledge, it has no proprietary ingredients, so it ends up as a miscible just like #1 and #2. Salt, nitrites/nitrates and maybe some anti-caking agent.

    Brown and Serve Sausage

    Remember, B&S sausage is the same as a wiener. Both are cooked(commercially) by steam/smoke. Then the "plastic" casings are removed. The "bite" some want in a wiener can only be obtained with a casing. Just keep track of everything you do, so can replicate it or improve it. This is the pleasure...

    Big Snow in Tulsa, OK Area

    First of all they are either heifers or steers; second cattle do better outside with a wind break than in a barn. Why feel sorry for them, when you going to eat them shortly?

    Prime Rib pricing?

    This will not be the first nor the last time to tell you, ISO, that prime in ribs has nothing to do with grade. It is the bone count, back to front that determines prime from standing. Think primary numbers. There is plenty of US beef sold in Canada, usually select and never prime.

    Ribeye or Rib Roast?

    Seriously, there are numerous sites which discuss the cuts and names. Pretty much everything above is incorrect or misleading. Prime in the case of ribs is numerical and has nothing to with grade.

    Lamb Shoulder Goodness

    When I went to meat cutting school, one of our exercises was to bone two of them. Then placing one "thick" end on the thin end of the other one, roll and tie. I think this would be a great smoke because of the herbs one could put in the middle. This roast was made for seniors homes and helped to...

    Standing Rib Roast Thanksgiving Plan

    Try to find one with the longest ribs and the smallest cap. You don't want to pay for a rib roast and end up with mostly chuck. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving.
