Looks great, love your press, would work great for my Gyro meat...Where do I get one?

Do you have plans for that mixer?

I have never seen a press like that but the same technique is needed for Pate's. I don't know what temp you cook your Gyro meat at, I would like to see a Recipe BTW, but you can fashion a cover for the pan from wood or other material and apply pressure with a Culinary Brick. Aka...any old Brick you got laying around, washed well and wrapped in Foil...JJ

Thanks, Jimmy

I started by using Alton Browns recipe, would link it but... I have made this half dozen times now over the last few years and still tweaking his recipe.

I have cut back on the rosemary added some cumin, oregano, and thyme.

I will be making this again in the next month or so, if I like how it turns out I will post the recipe.  I do use a brick and plywood to weigh it down over night, I also split this recipe into 2 loaf pans one LB each as I like the thinner slices it produces

I sure am glad I checked my E-mail!! I have made various " loaf " type meats. Including olive loaf. Some times I get voids inside. While I roll it and knead it and press it , Dah , it never dawned on me to use some kind of pressure to keep it down. I will use this concept with other loafs. This will improve them greatly. Just 1 question. When you mix in the olives do you drain and dry them quite well? I have to or it seems like any liguid will break down the meat. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. Is there such a device on the market? If not a weight wrapped in foil will work. Thanks again and happy SM Weiss wurst.

I still get small voids, I only drain the olives add and mix by hand. I only used 1 12-oz jar in the recipe and its a little skimpy so I've changed the recipe to add 2 jars next time. Enjoy
