Hello all! Anyone buy whole peppercorns and grind them into 16 Mesh? I was looking at adjustable electric coffee grinders, which will probably work. Just wondering if anyone does this, as where I live(Philippines), 16 mesh is not readily available, and whole peppercorns are easy to find and...
You are correct. I'm only asking about regular salt. There will be no curing salt in this recipe as it will be a fresh sausage.
Thanks for the detailed information.
When making a sausage that includes large amounts of ingredients other than meat, such as onions, should I take that into consideration when calculating the salt?
For instance, if I had 1000g of meat and 300g of onions, should I calculate salt using 1300g or just 1000g?
Do you have a tried and true salt percentage when making whole-meat jerky? Is it similar to sausage, where one would typically use between 1.5% to 2% salt?
I want to create a recipe that is repeatable regardless of how much meat I'm using.
Has anyone tried using Honey during the curing process? I have some honey granules and was thinking about throwing them in my salt, cure, and sugar mixture. Just not sure if I should use it in place of the sugar or if I should add it as an extra ingredient. Then comes the question of how much to...
I want to have a gravity-fed smoker built by a local fabrication company. I know there are places where I can buy gravity-fed plans. Does anyone know where I can get plans for free? Or does anyone here have a gravity-fed build plan they can send me?
Here it is!! Smoked at 225 for about 6.5 hours. IT was only around 155. I pulled it and finished it off in the oven at 325 with some veggies and stock. It was still pretty tough at 205 so I let it ride until 210. This was better than I thought it would be. I thought it would taste like pot roast...
I plan on smoking a Chuck roast this weekend. I've read some posts and have learned quite a bit so far. I plan on taking it up to 175-180 IT before wrapping. I've read that some wrap in butcher paper and some wrap in foil. I was planning on putting it in an aluminum pan with about 1/2 cup of...
Well here is the update.....It's amazing. So much better than the first try. I'm glad that I took notes and wrote the exact recipe down.
Smoked it starting at 180 until IT of 130 then turned up the heat to 225 until IT of 150. I then sous vide it at 162 for 2 hours.
No more tasso jerky!!!
So my first try at Tasso wasn't a complete failure but I wouldn't call it a success either. The taste was really good, BUT I put way too much cayenne in it(yes there is such a thing even if you are from Louisiana). Another thing that wasn't great was that I used too lean of a cut of pork. I...
