Price tag said $279, I talked him down to $240...

 

[dert]

Should work well for the pastrami (and bacon, jerky, turkey, pit beef, etc.)

Nice looking machine. I am jealous.

Is that a 1612?

 

[dert]

1712e

Automatic...but the auto doesn't work...

:(

 

[pc farmer]

Man you are going to love that slicer.

Who needs auto.

I have a 1612,   Hobart slicers will slice ANYTHING.

Found this at costco today:

Thought it was a hell of a deal at $7.59, used the same ones at the master butchery school I attended...

Then happened upon the Craig's list ad for the Hobart slicer!

 

[foamheart]

You should run out and bought a lotto ticket!

 

[dert]

12 days in...when to smoke???

 

[dert]

Probably early tomorrow morning...

 

[pc farmer]

Sweet.

 

[dert]

Had to go back to my records to see how I did this...

Pulled out of the brine:

You can see were it was touching the bucket and the oxygen permeated through creating that red color...or where it was touching the bucket and not allowing it to hit the oxygen...

After exposure to air, it turned brown; so I think the latter!

 

[dert]

Into some new clear water to cut the salt...

I'll hit it with crushed coriander, black pepper, garlic and onion powder tonight and then start the smoke early tomorrow morning...

 

[dert]

Made a spice blend with an ounce of coriander, two ounces of tillicherry peppercorns, onion powder and roasted garlic powder.
