    A bit of Dry Cured Sausage

    Normal thorough cooking (pasteurisation: 70°C 2min or equivalent) will kill Cl.botulinumbacteria but not its spores. To kill the spores of Cl.botulinum a sterilisation process equivalent to 121°C for 3 min is required. The botulinum toxin itself is inactivated (denatured) rapidly at temperatures...

    A bit of Dry Cured Sausage

    Oh man that stinks. I would not take the chance. Not much of a financial loss but an excellent learning session and could make you very ill or even kill you.

    Trying Something New - Ground Venison Jerky

    The main thing here is to make sure that loaf is tight and has no holes or it will fall apart when you slice it. Looks pretty good.

    A bit of Dry Cured Sausage

    One of my favorite things is making sausage and dry cured is my kind of candy. Sausage hanging uncovered for the photo and then sliced.

    Bologna Hot Dogs

    I agree that bologna CAN be made with larger particles the hotdogs and by USDA standards  hotdogs MUST be ground into fine particles. The point I was trying to make is the recipes can be used to make one or the other. If you have a good recipe you like for hotdogs you can also use it for bologna...

    Fermento/Buttermilk Questions
