I wanted to make my life a little easier and vacuum seal and weigh out cubed meat for when I want to make a salami. I'm thinking of doing it in 1kg packages, 500g, 250g. I've read you shouldn't grind frozen meat. Now the question I have is how long do you thaw in the fridge from the freezer...

I made the Tuscan Finnochiona from 2 guys and a cooler. I got my own fennel pollen, and it's a LOT of work for very little. Got basically 3 trash bags of fennel and ended up with only about 40g or so. I noticed a lot of commercial fennel had the flowers, stems, and whatnot. I put everything...

I'm trying to make Ventricina Salami based on the recipe here: https://twoguysandacooler.com/ventricina-salami/ The recipe calls for beef bung which is a little pricey. I'd like to try to use Pre-tied Collagen Casings 100mm instead. If I'm taking the casing off anyway, would it make a big...
