    Pop's Brine time for various meats and poultry

    For poultry I like to inject and go over night . I just did thighs on Sunday . Was out of orange extract , so I used lemon . Still good , but the orange is insane .

    Know Your Sourdough Starter Feedings.

    Great info here , and some of what I knew . However , once again the light bulb went off and I learned something . I'll try to keep this short . I keep 2 jars of starter in the fridge . I get them out and feed every 2 weeks or so . When I want to bake , I discard into a dedicated jar , then...

    Pop's Brine time for various meats and poultry

    Depends on if you want fully cured or not . Bigger question in my opinion is what rate did you , or are you going to mix it at . The original uses 1 cup salt to the gallon . I like 1/2 cup salt to the gallon , because 1 cup can get to salty for me .

    Know Your Sourdough Starter Feedings.

    Discard goes in the trash , then feed the volume left behind in the starter jar . I keep mine in a pint Mason jar . I keep an empty pint Mason jar on the counter . When I feed , I weight the empty jar , then tare the scale . So when I weigh the discarded starter jar it tells me the amount...

    This ol’knife

    I had my wet weather tapes . Just have to keep the oiled up when you put them back in the back , and save for a rainy day ! That long blade , with the slow curve is great for butchering . Get some sanding sponges from the Drywall section of the hardware store . Keeps your hand away from the blade .

    This ol’knife

    It's almost as rusty as your tape measure . I bet it's had 1/2 " or more sharpened off over the years . Nice general butchering knife . I'd like to have one for sure . Be handy for breaking down beef primals . Nice find .

    First go on making bacon

    I rinse the surface and dry , same as I do if using cure one . Never heard anything about resting to equalize . Some may do it , or suggest doing it . I don't , but I'm following the Tender quick directions . @Blue Collar Pit Boss I said it's not worth the risk , because when I compare what I...
