    New Stuffer Conundrum

    I also have the LEM 5lb. Stuffers and it works great except when doing a large batch of snack stick or summer sausage. To help with that I bought the Waltons 11lb. dual gear Stuffer. I’m very pleased with the stuffer and they have all the parts for it if you ever need to replace anything like a...

    1/4 to 1/2lb Burger patty press.

    Yes, I have done 1/3 lb. patties. The top plate is adjustable. The only issue is when you press down you have to press straight down or one side of the patty will be thinner. I also put parchment paper squares on the bottom and top of the meat before pressing down. This helps with easy patty...

    Weston stuffer?

    What doubles shooter said. The Walton’s 11lb. suffer is a real workhorse and like doubles said 19mm snack sticks are a breeze with the 12mm tube.

    One more cure #2 question

    Thank you everyone for the replies. The reason for my question is when my Calabrian pork tenderloin dried faster then I expected I asked in this forum about it being safe to eat. I did vacseal the loins and they are now resting for another few weeks. This got me thinking does the nitrates begin...

    One more cure #2 question

    I have a quick question about cure #2. I know cure #1 is for less then 30 days and cure #2 is used for longer then 30 days. I would like to know when does the clock start for 30 days or longer. Does it start once you start the curing stage (the time it takes to cure) or does the clock start...

    Used cure #2 but my Lonzino finishehed drying in 3 weeks. Is it safe to eat?

    Like the title states I used cure #2 but my Lonzino dried to 42% in 3 weeks. My mistake was using a tenderloin instead of a pork loin so it dried faster than I expected. I this safe to consume with the cure #2 less then 30 days? Thanks🙏

    Excalibur Seasoning Shout Out.

    I’m very surprised you were getting spam from them. I do get emails from Walton’s but I usually only get 1-2 a week. These are mostly from replies or questions I’ve made on Meatgistics or sales and giveaways from Walton’s.

    Excalibur Seasoning Shout Out.

    I’m still waiting on my catalog also. Do you post on Meatgistics and if so what’s your handle name? I made an error when I signed up for Meatgistics and I didn’t use Retired Railroader. I accidentally used my name John Belvedere and it’s been so long I never changed it. Also for whatever reason...
