Summer Sausage Stall

[nichiowa]

i have had some dilemmas in between, but long story short, I have 8 52mm logs that have stalled and will not rise above 122 IT. Oven is @ 180, verified IT and oven temps with second thermometers. What are some problems that I am missing?

Also they have been going for 24 hrs now.

N, You did have temp issues (your earlier post) so it hasn't been 24 hours of decent temps. You say all temps are correct so IMHO I would ride it out the temps will climb.You are doing it in an oven so maybe the moisture has has a hard time leaving the product.I did do some SS in an oven and it was about 18 -20 hours to reach an IT of 152. So your temp issue brings you into that time frame. Don't crank up the heat or you will get fat out resulting in a less desirable SS.

Ok, I appreciate it. Understood on the temps (I am glad you knew the info from the other post as well). I will ride it out. Thank you.
