    Does waxed cheese breathe through the wax?

    Went ahead and got 10 lbs red wax. So pretty stuff can be made,think rest vacuum pack for store cheeses should be fine for function over beauty packs,ie us guys and the kids when they are beggin'.LOL! I see THAT coming,this is good stuff!

    Does waxed cheese breathe through the wax?

    Yes Rita,ran into that site. Mrs thinks they would make good inexpensive gifts and purty when waxed. Need to look into beeswax and saw something about using parrafin mixed with crayola crayons since crayons are safe to eat.....interesting ideas all.Need a pliable wrap though,anybody know how...

    Does waxed cheese breathe through the wax?

    Common sense tells me no. I know you can add wax over the lid of canned products and that lid sure wont breathe.Sooo....just what is the story,does it breathe? Im reading the cheese itself has 02 inside it for a while anyhow so that the cheese will finish aging some.What these guys seem to do is...

    MAK Pellet Grill Cold Smoked Cheese

    I did a lot of reading,hard cheeses,waxed at room temp is sold all over the world,even in Euro supermarkets. So I reckon vacuum packed is just as safe,no? Im asking,my research said OK but I want advice if this is incorrect,thanks.

    marinating time-length...

    Certainly an interesting topic,did tons of research today on jerky/nitrites,looks pretty safe without and sure is fascinating.Water content is a huge factor in safety. Thanks JJ for allowing the discussion,and sorry the thread got hijacked,not my intention with first post and shame it wasnt put...

    A-Maze-n-smoker which one?

    Todd,your smoker IS Amazing. I just cold smoked cheese,unbelievable how easy fool proof it is. I admit to being a bit leery,after using it I have a suggestion. You should write to Shark Tank and pitch your product,get some cash and give em a % in exchange for getting your product into Lowes...

    marinating time-length...

    JJ,I wont be offended at all. Youve made it clear its forum policy NOT to post anything with meat without nitrates,I respect that. Even if you are wrong IMO,and I can back it up but thats pointless,we are beating a dead horse. Promise I wont post any of my superb marinated jerky recipes.Tested...

    marinating time-length...

    Jimmy,you make my point about GROUND BEEF and the need for nitrites,it is a different critter from slices. If we are going to contaminate slices by injecting e-coli into slices,gee,no surprise it may come out contaminated.Wouldnt expect otherwise but guess what,that Doesnt happen in the REAL...

    Maybe Im confusing 2 processes,you are talking smoking vrs dehydrating? Maybe thats where the confusion on my part is coming in. In my thoughts jerky is a dehydration process,is that where Im missing the boat on this thread?

    marinating time-length...

    Yeah,kind of figured it may be 'forum policy' meat cant be dehydrated without a cure but its what I do,what plenty folks do,and Ive never met or heard of a person killed from dehydrated beef slices with a salt or sugar cure.Ever.Salt and sugar are very effective dehydration cures. Nitrites and...
