If you allow a salted blend to sit in the refrigerator, it will continue extracting protein through 72 hrs and get stiffer even without ore mechanical mixing. Even 6 hrs in the refrigerator you should be able to tell a difference.

HerbcoFood Time to fill the truck up & head to Texas!

if the sausage is stuffed you can add the eca it will not activate until 130 degrees ? and will be fine to use but if holding it overnight it is not needed as the cure in the sausage will have time to work

Dr_Pain Gnocchi was used as a vehicle for the week as I grew up with many Italian immigrants. It all started on Thursday and they kept adding something cheap each day. On Friday, they would add fish caught on that day. Saturday would be meat scraps day (modern term i believe is awful). That’s where the dishes separated from making it in a pan or baked in the oven. The gnocchi up north would use parmesano regiano in the making of it because it was local. But, I can’t put my finger on a name for the dish.

I just love that story. A story of usage and necessity is found in many cultures. Down here they use to have Red Beans and Rice on Mondays because it was laundry day and they would use the starch from cooking the rice to starch their clothes (that’s before we added just the right amount of water to be absorbed by the rice)

Jonathon Yep you got it fixed awhile ago, there I am standing out there in the sticks, just where I am suppose to be.

I have smoked 27 lbs of venison summer sausage in my PK100. Used the 40 mm x 18 in Collagen Casings. I just put two racks in the top position and ran chop sticks thru the casing loops. Came out fantastic. 😎 I like the smaller 1lb. Tubes because I give them to a lot of friends. They are also about the perfect size for ritz crackers when sliced. I do have some friends that eat these one pounders like they are snack sticks.🤤 I used Waltons Ton Summer Unit seasoning, outstanding.

Gravity Storm if i remember correctly the MSG is only sold in 100lb batches, primarily for commercial uses. And although i have never used it i believe MSG does give a slight better taste. However, some have allergic reactions to MSG

Clarko I use my regular Summer Sausage mixes when making sticks for the little tykes, adding about half the recommended amount of cheddar cheese. As they get more adventurous, add more spice. Trust is what we develop
